Do I Need a Dubai Tourist Visa? 2024 Update

On this page, we detail everything you need to know about tourist visas for Dubai.

First up – it’s important to note what passport you are holding and, therefore, which visa rules apply to you.

Who needs to apply for a Tourist Visa?

Tourist Visas for Dubai and the UAE apply to anyone NOT eligible for a visa on arrival.  There are two categories of Visa on Arrival – check these first!

If your country of citizenship is not listed below, you can apply either through your airline or UAE registered tour operator for the appropriate visa.

• Visa services from Etihad Airways
• Visa Services offered by Emirates
• Visa services from Fly Dubai
• Visa services from Air Arabia

What Are UAE Transit Visas?

• A 48-hour Transit Visa is applicable for a single entry into the country between 8 to 48 hours and costs AED 37
• A 96-hour Transit Visa is applicable for a single entry into the country between 8 to 96 hours and costs AED 206

If your flight layover is between 2 to 8 hours and you are not eligible for a visa on arrival, then you will not be able to leave the airport. See this guide to things to do in DXB during a layover .

Single and Double Entry UAE Tourist Visas

• A 30-day single-entry visa costs 510 AED for 30 days.
• A 30-day multiple-entry visa costs 610 AED for 30 days.

Both of these may be extended twice for 30 days (so a maximum of 90 days) at 960 AED per extension.

• A long-term single-entry visa costs 830 AED for 60 days.
• A long-term multiple-entry visa costs 1560 AED for 60 days

Visa-Free Entry to the UAE

Citizens from GCC Countries do not need to apply for a visa on arrival.

Countries eligible for 30-Day Visa on Arrival in Dubai

There are 20 countries that are currently eligible for a FREE 30-day visit visa on arrival to the UAE; these are:

• New Zealand
• United Kingdom
• United States of America
• Vatican City

A visit visa for these countries lasts for 30 days, multi-entry, and can be renewed twice, with a 10-day grace period (i.e. you won’t be fined for overstaying your visa until Day 40).  If you overstay a visit visa the fine is 200 AED the first day, plus 100 AED per additional day – see more below on overstays.

Countries Eligible for 90-day Visa on Arrival

There are 40+ countries that are currently eligible for a FREE 90-day visit visa on arrival to the UAE, these are:

• Czech Republic
• El Salvador
• Liechtenstein
• Netherlands
• Russian Federation
• Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
• Solomon Islands
• South Korea
• Switzerland

Mexico citizens are eligible for 180 days.

India Citizens

There are specific rules applicable to Indian citizens which you can find here .

If you have any concerns, you should verify this information on the UAE Government website.

Dubai Tourist Visa Extension

If your 30-day Dubai tourist visa has expired, you have two options:

• Leave the country before your 10-day grace period expires (ie, by day 39)
• Apply to Immigration and pay a fee to have your visit Visa extended. You can only extend a 30-day Visa for a maximum of 60 days (ie two paid extensions).

What is a Visa Run?

A visa run is a common expression used when you leave the country in order to immediately re-enter and start a fresh visit visa.

Most commonly, this is done on the UAE’s border with Oman.  We have a detailed guide here on how border runs from Dubai works.

Accidental overstays in the UAE

It’s important to note that if you leave the country during the first 30 days, your visa will not renew upon re-entry. It’s a 30-day multi-entry Visa.  If you are travelling through Dubai, let’s say onward to Europe then have a stopover in Dubai again, be very careful if that second stop sees you cross over from 30 days to 40 days.

E.g., You arrive in Dubai on 1 September, stay for a few days, then fly on to Europe. You return to the UAE on 28 September.  You then spend two weeks in Dubai and fly out again on 12 October.

Even though you only stayed in Dubai for just over two weeks, your original 30-day visa was still valid on re-entry. You are considered to have overstayed your visit visa by 12 days as you did not leave the country, and it was not renewed during the 10-day grace period.

Before leaving the UAE, you will need to pay the daily fine for your overstay at the airport.

Road trip to Oman?

A good way to avoid this can, of course, be to include a trip to Oman with your Dubai trip!  Musandam is our favourite location for an overnight trip – not only an amazing experience but also one where you can avoid any issues with overstaying your visa and receiving a fine by exiting the country between day 30 and day 39.

There are a few small costs involved. Other than transportation, you have to pay an exit fee to the UAE (35 AED), and a tourist Visa entry fee to Oman , currently 5OR for a 10-day visit visa.  Regarding re-entering the UAE, there are no charges on the Omani or UAE side; just stamping your passports.

NB If you are looking to work in the UAE and become a resident, different visa categories will apply.  A future employer may still instruct you to enter on a tourist visa, and then you will be changed to the appropriate visa category in due course.

Everything you need to know about getting a tourist visa for Dubai

It’s fairly easy….

Thinking of visiting Dubai, but you’re not sure how to get a tourist visa? Perhaps you already live in this gorgeous city and want to share it with family and friends, but aren’t sure how to go about securing the ever-important visa. For some it’s as easy as showing up at the airport, for others, there is a process that needs to be followed.

Here is everything you need to know about getting a tourist visa for Dubai.

No visa required

Citizens of the GCC areas do not require any sort of visa to enter Dubai. You simply need to provide your passport or your national ID at the point of entry and you will be granted entrance.

Visa on arrival

If you fall into this category, you’re in luck because there are certain countries that can simply arrive at Dubai International Airport and receive a tourist visa, on arrival.

There are a total of 50 countries that receive visas on arrival. Some include The United Kingdom (UK), The United States of America (USA), and countries that are part of the EU. For some countries you will be eligible for a 30-day visa, and for others a 90-day visa, with the possibility of extension.

Indian citizens who are holders of tourist visas from the USA, green cards, or have a residence visa in the UK or EU will also receive a visa on arrival, for 14 days, provided that the green card and residence visas have been valid for more than six months.

If you are a Mexican passport holder, you will be granted a multiple-entry visa on arrival. Your visa is valid for up to 180 days and is valid for six months from the date that the visa has been issued.

The list of countries that are able to attain a tourist visa on arrival in Dubai or the UAE may change from time to time and so you can easily see if you are eligible for a tourist visa on arrival by following the steps here .

Pre-arranged visa

When you do not fall under the above categories that means you need to apply for a tourist visa before you enter Dubai. This can be done in a number of ways.

You can easily apply directly through certain airlines including FlyDubai and Emirates . Alternatively, you can organise a tourist visa through licensed travel agents, tour operators and the hotel you will be staying at.

It is important to note that you cannot apply for a tourist visa through the UAE Embassy, one of the organisers mentioned above will apply for your visa on your behalf through the visa-issuing authorities here in Dubai.

Russia and India Forge Ahead: Visa-Free Tourism on the Horizon

Russia and india are planning to enhance their tourism cooperation by preparing for the introduction of visa-free group tourist exchanges. the initial discussions between the two countries are set for june, with the goal of reaching a bilateral agreement by the end of the year..

Russia and India are set to strengthen their tourism ties as they gear up for the launch of visa-free group tourist exchanges. The first round of consultations between the two nations is scheduled for June, with an aim to finalize a bilateral agreement by the end of the year.

Nikita Kondratyev, director of the Russian Economic Development Ministry’s department of multilateral economic cooperation and special projects, provided insights into the upcoming discussions.

“The process with group visa-free trips has moved a little. The Indian side returned with the answer that they are at the final stage of internal state coordination and asked us again for the latest draft of the document and promised to return in the very near future. I think we will hold the first consultations with them in June to discuss a draft agreement,” Kondratyev stated during the sidelines of the International Economic Forum “Russia – Islamic World: KazanForum 2024” in Kazan.

The plan is to replicate the success of visa-free tourist exchanges already established with China and Iran. Russia and China initiated their visa-free group tourist exchange from August 1, 2023, following an intergovernmental agreement. Similarly, a visa-free group tourist exchange between Russia and Iran commenced on the same date, ushering in a new era of tourism cooperation.

With the groundwork laid through these agreements, Russia is now turning its attention to India , a strategic partner with immense tourism potential. In early February, the Russian Ministry of Economic Development expressed its anticipation to kickstart visa-free tourist exchanges with India in 2024. The upcoming consultations mark a significant step towards realizing this goal.

The ongoing International Economic Forum “Russia – Islamic World: KazanForum” serves as a platform for fostering economic and cultural ties between Russia and member states of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation.
