Dubai is a city of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and the perfect place for tourists. Dubai is known for its luxurious shopping, desert safari, and huge buildings. Dubai has many facades to entice travelers. Whether to indulge in the grandiose of the Burj Khalifa or to admire the Palm Jumeirah, the artificial yet magnificent archipelago. A walk to remember at the Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo, Dubai is one of the best family-friendly destinations for a holiday. The crime rate in Dubai is very low so tourists feel safe when experiencing Dubai’s spectacular skyscrapers. To visit a popular holiday destination such as Dubai, you’ll need a tourist visa valid for a specific duration. By submitting your specific travel documentation and details, you may obtain the Dubai visa in the form of an electronic authorization (E-Visa).
We have simplified the application procedure for a visa in Dubai for you.
Types of Dubai Tourist visa
Your Dubai visa application process will depend on the purpose and duration of your stay. There are different types of Dubai visas based on their validity and entry types – 96 hours, 14 days, 30 days, and 90 days. The Dubai visa fees will also vary based on the type that you will opt for.
14 Days Tourist Visa
As the name suggests, this type of visa is valid for a period of 14 days. The 14 days visa is a single entry and short-term visa and is a non-extendable one. Individuals can avail this type of visa if the country is to be visited for a short trip. The documents required to apply for this visa include Passport Bio Data Page, Passport Last Page, Photograph, and Proof of Residence (only if the country of residence isn’t the country of present nationality) as well as Additional Documents for High-Risk Countries.
30 Days Tourist Visa
The 30 days tourist visa is valid for 58 days to use from its issue date and it only gives you access to visit Dubai for 30 days from the date of entry. This visa is usually processed within 3-4 days; however, the express tourist visa is processed within 48 hours.
