UAE Visit Visa
The easiest way is through a licensed UAE travel agency such as White Sky Travel. Send us a clear passport scan (front page and back cover), a passport photo on a white background and your return ticket on WhatsApp. We submit the application and send your eVisa by WhatsApp or email.
Visa on arrival is available only to certain nationalities, and the length of stay depends on your passport. If your nationality needs a visa before travel, we can apply for a 30 or 60 day visit visa for you.
UAE visit visas are issued for 30 or 60 days, as single entry or multiple entry. Short 48 hour and 96 hour transit visas are also available for travellers passing through the UAE. The 90 day visit visa is not currently available through travel agencies.
You need a passport valid for at least 6 months (scan of the front page and back cover), a passport photo with a white background and a return ticket. If you don’t have a ticket yet, we book it for you. Some nationalities need extra documents or a refundable security deposit, so message us on WhatsApp to confirm what applies to your passport.
Most UAE visit visas are processed within 24 to 48 hours of a complete application. Some nationalities can take longer because of additional checks.
Yes, without leaving the country, through the same agency that issued your visa. A 30 day visa can be extended up to 3 times and a 60 day visa up to 2 times, 30 days each time. After the last extension you need to exit and enter the UAE again, either by airport to airport visa change or by bus to Oman.
The visa fee is not refundable once the application is submitted. If your nationality requires a security deposit, the deposit is refunded after you exit the UAE on time.
Visa Extension and Visa Change
If White Sky issued your visa, we can extend it inside the UAE by 30 days at a time, with no exit needed. Extensions are processed in 24 to 48 hours. If another agency issued your visa, the extension must be done by that agency, or you can exit and enter the UAE again with a new visa from us.
You fly out of the UAE to a nearby airport and wait there while your new 60 day visit visa is issued, then fly back the same day. Our A2A package is a flat AED 1,550. See how A2A works.
You travel by bus to Oman, stay there while your new UAE visit visa is issued, and return by bus. The package is AED 1,300 for visit visa holders and AED 1,000 for residence cancellation or visa on arrival holders, including transport, stay and return. Read more about visa change by bus.
Yes, once the overstay fines are paid. The extension counts from your old expiry date, so if your visa expired 5 days ago, a 30 day extension leaves you 25 days.
No. A visit to visit change inside the country is no longer available. You can extend with the agency that issued your visa, or exit and enter the UAE again by airport to airport visa change or by bus.
The 90 day visit visa is not currently available through travel agencies. For a longer stay, take a 60 day visa and extend it inside the UAE, 30 days at a time.
