Dubai Visa for Turkish Passport Holders
Requirements, visa types, costs, and how we arrange your entry from Türkiye to Dubai in 2026.
Planning a trip to Dubai on a Turkish passport is easier than many travellers expect, once you know which rules apply to you. At White Sky Travel & Tourism, we arrange Dubai tourist visas for Turkish nationals every day, and in this guide we explain exactly what you need, the visa options available, how long processing takes, and how we handle the full application on your behalf.
Do Turkish Passport Holders Need a Visa for Dubai?
Yes, in most cases. If you hold an ordinary Turkish passport (the burgundy one), you need a Dubai tourist visa arranged in advance before you travel. There is no visa on arrival and no visa free entry for ordinary Turkish passports, so the visa must be approved and issued before your flight.
The rules are different for official travel documents. Turkish nationals holding a diplomatic passport (green) or a service or mission passport (grey) may enter the UAE without a visa for a stay of up to 90 days, provided the passport stays valid for at least six months.
Who Can Sponsor Your Dubai Tourist Visa
A Dubai tourist visa is issued through a UAE based sponsor. Ordinary Turkish passport holders cannot apply directly at an embassy, so your application is submitted by an accredited party. These include:
- Licensed UAE travel agencies such as White Sky Travel & Tourism, a DED licensed agency based in Dubai.
- Hotels in the UAE where you hold a confirmed booking.
- National airlines, including Emirates, Etihad, Turkish Airlines, flydubai, and Air Arabia.
Applying through a licensed agency keeps the process simple. We review your documents before submission, choose the correct visa category for your plans, and follow up on approval so nothing is missed.
Dubai Tourist Visa Types for Turkish Travellers
The UAE offers several tourist visa options in 2026. The right one depends on how long you plan to stay and whether you intend to leave and re enter the country during your trip.
| Visa type | Stay allowed | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 30 day single entry | Up to 30 days | A first Dubai holiday of two to four weeks |
| 30 day multiple entry | Up to 30 days per visit | Short trips with a side visit to Oman or another Gulf country |
| 60 day single entry | Up to 60 days | Longer holidays, family visits, or exploring several emirates |
| 60 day multiple entry | Up to 60 days per visit | Extended stays with regional travel in and out of the UAE |
| 5 year multiple entry | Up to 90 days per visit | Frequent visitors who come to Dubai more than once a year |
| 48 or 96 hour transit | 2 to 4 days | A long layover in Dubai on the way to another destination |
A single entry visa is used up once you leave the UAE. A multiple entry visa lets you exit and return within the validity window, which suits travellers combining Dubai with trips to nearby Gulf destinations. If you are unsure which option fits your plans, message us and we will recommend the most suitable choice.
Documents Required for a Dubai Visa From Türkiye
The document list for Turkish passport holders is short and easy to prepare:
- A clear colour copy of your Turkish passport, valid for at least six months.
- A recent passport size photograph with a plain white background.
- A confirmed return or onward flight ticket.
- Proof of accommodation, such as a hotel booking for your stay.
- Travel or medical insurance valid in the UAE. This is recommended for peace of mind, though it is not mandatory for the visa itself.
We can also arrange your flights, hotel, and UAE travel insurance alongside the visa, so your whole trip is booked in one place.
How We Apply for Your Dubai Visa
Our process is designed to be quick and clear from start to finish:
- Send us your details. Message us on WhatsApp with your passport copy and photo.
- Choose your visa. We confirm the right visa type and the full cost before we submit anything.
- We submit and track. Your application goes to the UAE immigration authorities through our licensed channel, and we follow it to approval.
- You receive your eVisa. The approved visa arrives as a PDF by email.
- Print and travel. Carry a printed copy with you and enter Dubai within the visa validity period.
Processing Time and Entry Validity
Standard processing usually takes 2 to 4 working days. If you are travelling soon, our express option can have your visa ready within 24 to 48 hours. We recommend applying at least one to two weeks before your flight, and a little earlier during busy seasons such as Eid and the summer holidays.
Once issued, a tourist visa gives you around 58 to 60 days from the date of issue to enter the UAE. Your permitted stay (30 or 60 days) then begins from the day you arrive in Dubai.
Extending Your Stay in Dubai
Since December 2025, most 30 day and 60 day tourist visas can be extended while you are still inside the UAE, without needing to exit and re enter. The extension must be arranged before your current stay expires. There is no grace period on tourist visas, and overstaying leads to daily fines, so it is best to plan your dates carefully or ask us to handle the extension for you.
Cost of a Dubai Visa for Turkish Passport Holders
The total price depends on the visa type, the length of stay, and whether you choose single or multiple entry. Here are our current Dubai tourist visa prices for Turkish passport holders:
| Visa type | Our price |

| 60 day single entry | From AED 600 |
