UAE Tourist Visa
97% Success rate. Transparent. Affordable
Who needs a UAE tourist visa?
You’ll need a UAE Tourist Visa to visit Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and other emirates. This visa is available as:
- Short-stay single-entry visas (typically valid for 30 days),
- Or a multiple-entry 5-year visa, allowing stays of up to 90 days per visit, extendable once by 90 days.
Applications are made online via licensed travel agents like Talent Connected Worldwide or through the UAE’s Smart Services portal. The General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA) makes the final visa decision.
Documents checklist for a UAE tourist visa
- To apply, you’ll typically need:
- A passport valid for at least six months from your arrival date
- Passport‑size photo matching UAE specifications
- Confirmed return flight booking and hotel reservation, or Emirates ID and tenancy contract if sponsored locally.
- Bank statements (6 months) showing sufficient funds
- Travel insurance, if requested
- Tour itinerary (planned dates and activities)
- For minors: birth certificate & parental consent (if applicable)
Processing time
UAE Tourist visas are usually processed within 3–5 working days after submission and payment. In some cases, it may take up to 8 working days, especially during holidays or if additional checks are needed
Common reasons for UAE visa rejections
Missing or mismatched bookings
GDRFA now expect confirmed travel plans. Generic or missing bookings can cause refusal.
Incorrect visa type
Applying for the wrong visa (e.g., business instead of tourist) leads to immediate rejection.
Insufficient financial proof
Tourist visas require clear evidence of funds. Sparse or irregular bank statements often lead to refusal.
Missing information or errors
Typos in passport details, blurry photos, or handwritten copies can lead to rejection.
Undisclosed past visa issues
Unpaid overstay penalties, uncancelled previous visas, or prior refusals will block your current application.
Passport validity issues
Passports must be valid for 6 months—anything less results in immediate denial.
