UAE Visit Visa

The United Arab Emirates is a leading destination for tourism, family visits, business activities and short-term travel. Visitors can experience modern cities, iconic attractions, cultural landmarks, world-class shopping, beaches, desert adventures and internationally recognised events.

A UAE Visit or Tourist Visa allows eligible foreign nationals to enter the country temporarily. The appropriate visa depends on the traveller's nationality, purpose of travel, required duration and whether single or multiple entries are needed.

UAE Tourist Visa Options

Common tourist visa options include:

  • 30-day Single-Entry Visa
  • 60-day Single-Entry Visa
  • 30-day Multiple-Entry Visa
  • 60-day Multiple-Entry Visa
  • Longer Visit Options (where available)
  • Five-Year Multiple-Entry Tourist Visa

Short-term tourist visas are generally arranged through licensed tourism establishments, airlines, hotels or authorised travel providers. UAE authorities currently provide tourist stays of 30, 60 or 90 days, depending on the visa category.

Five-Year Multiple-Entry Tourist Visa

The five-year tourist visa may suit frequent visitors who want to travel to the UAE several times without obtaining a new visa for every trip.

  • A passport valid for at least six months.

UAE Visit Visa Application Process

Visa Extension and Overstay

Some UAE visit visas may be extended, subject to the visa category, applicable limits and immigration approval. Travellers should not assume that every visa can be extended.

Visitors must leave or regularise their status before the authorised stay expires. Overstaying can lead to daily fines and other immigration consequences.
