What Is a UAE Tourist Visa?
A UAE tourist visa is an official entry permit that allows foreign nationals to visit Dubai and other emirates for leisure, tourism, family visits, or short-term business activities. It is different from a residence visa because it is temporary and intended for short stays. Depending on your nationality, you may need a pre-arranged tourist visa, or you may be eligible for a visa on arrival.
Tourist visas are available in different durations — 30, 60, or 90 days — and can be issued for single entry or multiple entries, depending on your travel requirements. For frequent travellers, the UAE also offers a 5-year multiple-entry tourist visa, allowing extended flexibility.
At Gulf Corporate Services, we handle all the complexities — from checking your eligibility to filing your documents with the correct authority — so you can focus on enjoying your trip.
Types of UAE Tourist Visas
The UAE offers several tourist visa options to meet the needs of travellers from around the world. Choosing the right type depends on the length of your stay, the purpose of your visit, and whether you plan to enter the country more than once.
- 30-Day Tourist Visa
Perfect for short holidays, stopovers, or quick business meetings. Available as single entry or multiple entry, depending on your travel plans. - 60-Day Tourist Visa
Popular with families and visitors who want to spend more time in the UAE. Offers more flexibility for extended vacations or long family visits. - 90-Day Tourist Visa
Available through certain airlines and authorised channels, this option suits those who need to stay longer for personal, business, or family reasons. - 5-Year Multiple-Entry Tourist Visa
A self-sponsored visa designed for frequent travellers. It allows unlimited entries during a 5-year period, with each stay valid for up to 90 days (extendable once). - Transit Visas (48 & 96 Hours)
Issued by airlines for travellers passing through the UAE. The 48-hour transit visa is free, while the 96-hour transit visa costs AED 50. Both are non-extendable and require a valid onward ticket.
With Gulf Corporate Services, you don’t have to worry about navigating different portals or authorities. We handle the process through ICP, GDRFA, airlines, and Amer Centres, ensuring your visa is filed on the right platform.
UAE Visa on Arrival
The UAE offers visa on arrival (VoA) facilities for citizens of many countries, allowing entry without prior arrangements. Depending on your nationality, you may receive a 30-day or 90-day entry permit at immigration counters when you land.
A special provision also exists for Indian passport holders:
- If you hold a valid US visa or green card, or a UK or EU residence permit, you can obtain a 14-day visa on arrival.
- The supporting documents must be valid for at least 6 months.
At Gulf Corporate Services, we confirm your VoA eligibility before you travel, ensuring there are no surprises at the airport.
UAE Transit Visas (48 & 96 Hours)
If you are connecting through Dubai or another UAE airport, you may qualify for a transit visa:
- 48-Hour Transit Visa — Free of charge, arranged by your airline.
- 96-Hour Transit Visa — AED 50, also arranged by your airline.
Both require a valid passport and an onward ticket to your next destination. These visas cannot be extended, so travellers must exit within the specified timeframe.
Transit visas are ideal for travellers who want to explore Dubai during a layover or attend short meetings in the UAE. Our team helps confirm eligibility and ensures all documentation is prepared correctly before your journey.
5-Year Multiple-Entry Tourist Visa
The 5-year UAE tourist visa is an excellent option for frequent travellers, business visitors, or families who want flexibility in planning multiple trips. Unlike short-term visas, this option allows you to enter the UAE multiple times over five years without needing to reapply each time.
Key features:
- Multiple entries permitted over 5 years.
- Stay up to 90 days per visit (extendable once by another 90 days).
- Convenient for long-term travel planning, business visits, and extended family stays.
Requirements include:
- Proof of a bank balance of at least USD 4,000 (or equivalent) for the last six months.
- Valid health insurance covering your stay in the UAE.
- Confirmed return ticket.
- Proof of accommodation (hotel booking or residence details).
Applications are submitted through the ICP Smart Services portal. Gulf Corporate Services ensures that every detail meets official requirements, avoiding rejections or delays.
Required Documents for a UAE Tourist Visa
When applying for a Dubai tourist visa or any UAE tourist visa, you will need:
- A valid passport with at least 6 months validity.
- A recent passport-sized photograph.
- A confirmed flight booking or travel itinerary.
- Hotel booking or accommodation details (or host’s information).
- For the 5-year visa: proof of bank balance, insurance, return ticket, and stay arrangements.
Our experts carefully review all documents to ensure they comply with UAE immigration standards. This reduces the chances of errors, saving you time and money.
UAE Tourist Visa Cost and Processing Time
The cost of a UAE tourist visa depends on the type and duration:
- 30-Day Tourist Visa — Around AED 200.
- 60-Day Tourist Visa — Around AED 300.
- 90-Day Tourist Visa — Fees vary by channel (airlines, agents, GDRFA, ICP).
- 96-Hour Transit Visa — AED 50 (48-hour transit visa is free).
- 5-Year Multiple-Entry Visa — Fees vary depending on ICP processing and service charges.
Processing time usually takes 3–5 working days, though urgent options may be available through airlines or specific service providers. At Gulf Corporate Services, we track your application and keep you updated at every stage.
Overstay Fines for UAE Tourist Visas
Overstaying your tourist visa in Dubai or the UAE can result in penalties. The standard fine is AED 50 per day, plus possible administrative charges for exit permits. Failing to clear overstay fines can affect your ability to re-enter the UAE in the future.
To protect our clients, Gulf Corporate Services monitors visa validity and provides reminders for renewals or exits, helping you avoid fines and complications.
