Dubai visit visa fee from May 2024

Travellers holding Dubai visit visas from countries like Pakistan, India, and others must adhere strictly to entry guidelines, as failure to meet requirements can result in denied boarding at airports.

Requirements include carrying 3,000 dirhams in cash, a valid return ticket, and proof of accommodation.

A travel agent confirmed the strict enforcement of these guidelines by Dubai authorities, emphasizing the necessity for a valid visa and passport with a minimum validity of six months.

While Dubai visit visa rules have long been in place, recent strict enforcement aims to curb overstaying and enhance tourism. Pakistani travelers must obtain a tourist visa, which can be applied for through travel agents.

For 2024, the short-term single-entry UAE tourist visa from Pakistan costs $90, allowing a 30-day stay from the arrival date. Various visa types cater to different durations and entry requirements.

Courts bar Pemra from taking coercive action against TV channels

Documents required for a UAE visit visa include a valid passport, application form, Emirates ticket copy, proof of relationship (if applicable), and a valid CNIC issued by NADRA.

All documents must be submitted in hard copy format, and visa fees are non-refundable. Travel must be on Emirates or codeshare flights, with entry subject to immigration approval.

Visa processing takes approximately 3 to 4 working days, with all visas valid to enter Dubai for 60 days from the date of issue, except for the 96-hour and 48-hour visas, which are valid for 30 days from the issue date.

With the revised rules on visit visa extension taking effect, travel agencies are now offering a number of options for renewal. An industry expert explains the different categories and the best budget-friendly option.

Raheesh Babu, chief operating officer of online travel agency Musafir.com, noted that visitors will fall into three categories in the new scenario.

“The first category includes people who need to renew their visas and need to exit the country. In this case, people can leave the country via bus and travel to Oman. Thereafter, the UAE tourist visa is applied for, and once this is issued a person can return to the UAE,” Babu said and pointed out that a bus trip to Oman is the cheapest way to renew a tourist visa.

In this case, people will need a visa to enter Oman, which will take up to 2 days to process. Once the trip is arranged, the UAE visa is usually issued the same day.

“Travel for a visa change by bus to Oman is the most economical, but the prices may vary. The entire process takes 10 to 12 hours,” he noted.

“Under the second category are people who can still renew their UAE tourist visa without exiting. Currently, visa change within the country is available only in Dubai. However, this is only available until the Dubai immigration updates its system,” Babu said.

“Lastly, airport-to-airport (A to A) by flight is also possible. To renew your tourist visa, you can exit to a neighbouring country for a few hours and fly back to the UAE,” he added.

UAE: How to apply for pre-approval for visa on arrival for Indian citizens

Living in uae.

Some Indians who have a residency in the US, EU or UK are eligible for this service

Dubai: Are you an Indian planning to visit the UAE? If you have a permanent resident card (green card) issued by the US or a residence visa in the United Kingdom or European Union countries, you can get an entry visa for a period of 14 days when you come to the UAE.

Dubai’s immigration authority, the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs Dubai (GDRFAD) provides a service through which you can apply for a pre-approval of this visa and streamline your immigration process once you land in the UAE.

Here’s how you can use the service.

How to apply for pre-approval of visa on arrival

Option 1: do it yourself.

If you have a UAE Pass account  or an online account with the GDRFAD website, you can apply for this pre-approval yourself, by following these steps.

1. Visit the GDRFAD website – gdrfad.gov.ae, and log in using your UAE Pass or the online account details. 2. Click on the tab for ‘all services’ and then select ‘Port services'. 3. Select the option ‘Issuing visa via land, seaport or airport’ and then click on ‘Visa on arrival for citizens of the Republic of India residing in (America, Britain, European Union countries)’. 4. Fill in the form with your personal details and details of your trip, like where you are going to stay. 5. Next, select the type of visa you hold – EU residency, US green card etc. 6. Attach the required documents to support your application, including your passport and visa copies. 7. Pay the application fees and submit the request.

As per the GDRFAD website, the pre-approval process can take up to 48 hours, and when the visa is approved, you will receive an online copy on your registered email address.

Option 2: Apply for it through an agency

If you do not have a UAE Pass or an online GDRFAD account, you can also request a travel and tourism agency registered in the UAE to apply for the visa on your behalf.

“Even if people are staying in the US or UK, they may not want to apply for it themselves. In such cases, agencies can help them with the application process,” Husham Kattingeri, an outbound travel supervisor at Regal Tours Worldwide, told Gulf News.

In such cases, you would need to provide the documents to the travel agent and pay for the visa, as well as service fees that the agency would charge.

Option 3: Pre-approval for Emirates passengers

If you are flying with Emirates airlines, you can use their pre-approved visa-on-arrival facility, which was launched earlier this year. For a step-by-step guide on how to apply for the service, read our detailed guide here .

Documents required

1. A valid passport or travel document to enter the country, 2. Permanent residence card (green card) issued by the US or a residence visa issued by UK or European Union countries. 3. Personal photo (white background)

You may need to pay additional service charges if you are applying through an agency.

To apply for the pre-approval through the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security (ICP), read our step-by-step guide here .
