How will I receive my Dubai visa?

Once your Dubai visa is approved, it will be sent to you electronically via email.

Do I need a visa to enter Dubai?

All travellers are required to hold an E-visa. A few nationalities are eligible for visa on arrival, but you can still book your visa in advance to avoid any delay at immigration. If your country isn’t on the visa-free / on-arrival list, you must apply before travel through an airline, hotel, travel agency, or authorized provider.

How long does Dubai visa processing take?

Standard: ~2–5 working days. Express/Urgent: ~24–48 hours (extra cost). Processing time varies by nationality, season, and accuracy of documentation.

What documents are required?

Valid passport (6+ months). Passport-size photograph (white background). Confirmed return flight ticket. (Optional) Proof of accommodation (hotel booking/address). (Optional) Completed visa application form. Some nationalities may also need bank statements or insurance.

Can Dubai visas be extended?

Yes — many tourist visit visas can be extended from within the UAE before expiry. Extension rules and fees depend on the visa type and sponsor.

What purpose can we use a Dubai tourist visa for?

You can use the tourist visa for tourism purposes and business meetings.

Can I work in Dubai on a visit visa?

No — working on a tourist or visit visa is not permitted. If you plan to work or stay long-term, you must apply for the appropriate work or residency visa with a sponsor.

How do I check my visa status?

After applying, you can track your visa status through the sponsor (airline, hotel, or travel agent) or the UAE immigration online tracking portals using your reference number.

Any tips to avoid visa rejection?

Submit clear, accurate documents. Ensure your passport has 6+ months validity. Avoid discrepancies in names/dates. Apply 10–14 days before travel to allow buffer time.

Can I reapply if my Dubai visa gets rejected?

Yes, you can reapply after a rejection. However, it’s important to identify and correct the reason for rejection — such as incorrect details, unclear documents, or passport validity issues — before submitting a new application to improve approval chances.

What happens if I overstay my visa?

The UAE now charges a flat AED 50 per day for overstaying, across all visa types. Visit and tourist visas have no grace period — the fine starts the day after your visa expires — while residence visas allow a 30–180 day grace period depending on the visa. Staying more than 30 days beyond your visa can also require a paid exit permit, so it is best to extend or leave on time.
