3. Your visa is issued
It usually takes a week or more. In a hurry? Our urgent service gets it done within 72 hours for AED 30 more.
Visa on arrival
Many passports get a free visa when they land. Malaysia, Ireland, Ukraine and a few others get 30 days. The UK, the USA, Canada, Australia, China, Japan and most of Europe get a multiple entry visa for up to 90 days, and Mexico up to 180 days. Ask us about yours.
Arriving in another emirate
A visa issued in Dubai works at every entry point. Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah are one country.
Extending your stay
A tourist visa issued through us can be extended inside the country, with immigration approval: a 30 day visa up to 5 times, a 60 day visa up to 2 times. Each 30 day extension is AED 1,050 plus VAT. A visa from another agency is extended by its sponsor. Most importantly, never overstay.
