Explore Dubai Tourist Visa Options Online
Planning a visit to Dubai? Dubai-Visa.ae helps travelers explore available UAE tourist visa options and prepare an online application. Compare stay durations, entry types, and processing services before choosing an option that fits your travel plans.
Availability depends on your passport nationality and the visa options offered through our service.
Find a Visa Option for Your Dubai Trip
Start by considering how long you plan to stay and whether your itinerary requires one entry or multiple entries. The options below show the available visa products, listed prices and processing estimates.
Unsure which stay length or entry type fits your trip?
Choosing the Right Visa Option
Every listed product differs in stay length, entry pattern and processing service. Four practical questions make the comparison easier. If you want more background on timing, our guide to processing times explains what the estimates do and do not mean.
Start with your dates
Write down when you plan to arrive and leave, then add a few days of slack in case plans shift. Hold that range up against the stay length shown for each product.
Think about how you will travel
If your trip could include leaving the country and coming back, look at the entry type listed for each option before you decide. A single trip with one arrival is a different case.
Work backwards from your flight
Displayed timeframes are estimates. Count back from your departure date and leave breathing room instead of building your plans around the fastest figure.
Read every detail side by side
Stay length, entry type, processing estimate and price appear together for each product. Confirm all four suit your trip before you continue.
Compare Stay Durations and Entry Types
Different travel plans may call for different stay durations and entry options. Review the available products before selecting a visa.
Short Visits
Explore the listed 14-day visa options if you are planning a shorter stay.
Longer Holidays
Review the available 30-day options when planning a longer visit.
Extended Stays
Compare the listed 90-day products and their regular processing estimates.
Single or Multiple Entry
Consider whether your itinerary involves one entry or more than one. Choose only from the entry types available for your selected product.

Planning Your Dubai Trip
A visa is only one piece of a smooth journey. These practical points help you shape an itinerary that feels comfortable and realistic. Looking for seasonal ideas? See what October and November can look like in the city.
Pick your season
Dubai's climate shifts a great deal through the year, and a summer afternoon is far hotter than a winter one. Plan outdoor time for mornings and evenings, and keep indoor options ready for midday.
Choose a base
Districts feel very different. Waterfront areas suit relaxed evenings, the older quarters around Dubai Creek show a more traditional side of the city, and downtown keeps major attractions close together.
Get around easily
Visitors can use the metro, taxis and ride-hailing apps, and traditional abra boats cross the Creek. Distances between districts can be larger than expected, so check journey times before booking.
Keep money simple
The local currency is the UAE dirham. Ask your bank about card fees and foreign transaction charges before you leave, and carry a little cash for small purchases.
Respect local customs
Dubai is cosmopolitan, yet it is also a Muslim country. Dress modestly at religious sites and in traditional neighbourhoods, and stay mindful of how you behave in public.
Pace your days
Dubai rewards slower itineraries. Pair one big outing with a lighter activity and leave time to rest, especially after a long flight.
Before You Travel to Dubai
A short list of habits for the days before departure. These are practical suggestions rather than official requirements, so always follow the instructions that come with your application and from your airline.
Unsure about something? Our frequently asked questions cover many common points, and the article on common application mistakes shows what to double-check.
Compare names and numbers
Make sure the name and passport number on your booking, your issued e-visa and your passport all match exactly.
Keep two copies of your documents
Store your e-visa on your phone and carry a paper copy in your hand luggage next to your passport, so one failed battery never holds you up.
Ask your airline
Carriers can have their own check-in requirements. Read them shortly before departure so nothing surprises you at the desk.
Make bookings easy to open
Save flight and accommodation confirmations where you can reach them quickly, even without a data connection.
Think about insurance
Cover is optional for many trips, but it is worth comparing what is included for medical care, delays and cancelled plans.
Plan your arrival
Decide how you will get from the airport to your accommodation, and keep the address ready in a form you can show to a driver.
