UAE Tourist Visa Overview
The United Arab Emirates is one of the most sought after travel destinations on earth. From the iconic skyline of Dubai to the grand mosques of Abu Dhabi and the dramatic landscapes of Ras Al Khaimah, every corner of the Emirates has something extraordinary to offer. Whether you are planning a short break or an extended stay, understanding the UAE tourist visa process is the essential first step to a smooth journey.
At White Sky Travel and Tourism, we handle tourist visa applications for visitors from across the world. Our experienced team knows exactly what UAE immigration requires and we make the process clear and simple from start to finish. We are a DED licensed travel agency based in Dubai Investment Park, and we process visas for over 100 nationalities every month.
Types of UAE Tourist Visas
The UAE offers several tourist visa options to accommodate different travel plans. The right choice depends on how long you intend to stay, whether you plan to exit and re-enter the country, and your nationality. All applicants must hold a passport valid for at least six months from the intended date of entry into the UAE.
30 Days Tourist Visa
The 30 day single entry tourist visa is one of the most popular options for short visits to the UAE. It permits a stay of up to 30 days from the date you enter the country. The visa is valid for 60 days from the date it is issued, which means you must enter the UAE within that 60 day window. Once you enter, you may stay for up to 30 days. This option is well suited to holiday trips, family visits, and short leisure stays.
60 Days Tourist Visa
The 60 day single entry tourist visa gives you two full months to experience the UAE. This is the most frequently requested visa type through our agency and is ideal for travellers who want more time to explore multiple emirates or who have a flexible itinerary. The visa allows a stay of up to 60 days from the date of entry. Processing typically takes 3 to 5 working days, though this may vary depending on the time of year and application volume.
90 Days Tourist Visa
For visitors planning a longer stay in the Emirates, the 90 day tourist visa provides three full months of permitted stay. This visa requires additional supporting documents in some cases and processing time may be slightly longer than shorter duration visas. Our team will advise you on the exact requirements and whether this visa type is available for your nationality before you apply.
Multiple Entry Tourist Visas
The multiple entry tourist visa allows you to enter and exit the UAE as many times as needed throughout the visa validity period. Each individual stay must not exceed the duration stated on your visa, but you are free to leave and return without applying for a new visa. This option is particularly useful for travellers who plan to visit neighbouring countries such as Oman and return to the UAE, or for those using Dubai as a regional travel hub. Multiple entry visas are available in 30 day and 60 day stay durations.
Single Entry
30 Days Tourist Visa
Stay up to 30 days. Visa valid 60 days from issue date. Ideal for short holidays.
Single Entry
60 Days Tourist Visa
Stay up to 60 days. Most popular option. Processing 3 to 5 working days.
Single Entry
90 Days Tourist Visa
Stay up to 90 days. Suited for extended visits. Additional documents may apply.
Multiple Entry
Multiple Entry Visa
Enter and exit multiple times. Available in 30 and 60 day stay durations.
Visa on Arrival: Citizens of many countries receive a free visa on arrival when entering the UAE, including GCC nationals, EU passport holders, UK citizens, US nationals, and others. Contact us to confirm whether your nationality qualifies before you apply for a pre-arranged visa.

60 Days Multiple Entry Visa UAE
The 60 day multiple entry visa UAE is one of the most flexible options available for tourists and frequent visitors to the country. With this visa, you may enter and exit the UAE as many times as you require during the full validity period of the visa. Each individual stay in the UAE must not exceed 60 consecutive days, and you must re-enter within the visa validity to use it again after exiting.
This visa is particularly well suited for travellers who plan to use the UAE as a regional base and travel to nearby destinations such as Oman, Bahrain, or Saudi Arabia during their overall trip. Rather than arranging a new tourist visa each time you return to the UAE, the multiple entry visa covers all your entries within the validity window. It removes the uncertainty of single entry limitations and gives you the freedom to travel across the region without visa complications.
The 60 day multiple entry tourist visa is also a practical option for those who have family or business connections in the UAE and visit regularly over a short period. To apply, simply contact our team and we will check your eligibility, prepare the application, and submit it on your behalf. Payment for this visa service can be split into monthly installments using Tabby with up to 12 months, Tamara with extendable terms, or a UAE credit card through our partner banks.
Dubai to Oman Visa Change by Bus
If your UAE tourist visa is approaching its expiry date and you need to renew your visa status, a bus visa change from Dubai to Oman is one of the most practical and affordable solutions available. This service involves travelling by bus from Dubai to the Oman border, completing the exit and re-entry process, and returning to the UAE on a fresh tourist visa. The process is fully legal and is used by thousands of visitors each year to reset their UAE stay.
White Sky Travel arranges complete bus visa change packages from Dubai. We handle your transport booking, assist with border documentation, and guide you through the process step by step. Most trips depart in the early morning hours and return to Dubai the same day, making it a manageable one day commitment with minimal disruption to your time in the UAE.
This service is available to tourists whose visa allows for re-entry and who meet the nationality requirements for crossing into Oman by land. Our team will review your visa status and confirm whether the bus visa change is appropriate for your situation before you book. We recommend contacting us at least a few days before your current visa expires to allow sufficient time to arrange the trip.
Plan ahead: Do not wait until your visa expires to arrange a renewal. An overstayed UAE visa incurs a daily fine of AED 50 per day plus an additional AED 250 administrative fee. Contact us before your expiry date.
UAE A2A Visa Change FlyDubai with Tabby or Tamara
An air to air visa change, commonly referred to as an A2A visa change, is a service designed for those in the UAE who need to renew their tourist visa status by exiting and re-entering the country by air. This involves booking a FlyDubai flight out of the UAE and returning on a new tourist visa, often within the same day. It is a fast and convenient option that avoids a full international trip while still completing the legal visa renewal process.
White Sky Travel packages the A2A visa change as a complete service that includes both the FlyDubai flight arrangement and the issuance of your new UAE tourist visa. You can complete the entire process in a single day in most cases. This service is widely used by tourists and long term visitors who need to renew their status without taking extended time away from the UAE.
The current rate for our A2A tourist visa renewal service starts from AED 1,450, which covers the new UAE tourist visa and the associated service processing. Flexible payment is available through Tabby in up to 12 monthly installments, through Tamara with extendable payment terms, or via UAE credit card installment plans through partner banks including ENBD, Mashreq, HSBC, RAK Bank, ADCB, LIV, and FAB.
To arrange an A2A visa change, contact our team via WhatsApp with your passport details and current visa information. We will confirm your eligibility, check available FlyDubai departure options, and handle the booking and visa application on your behalf.

Frequently Asked Questions About UAE Tourist Visa
What is a UAE tourist visa and who needs one?
A UAE tourist visa is an official entry permit issued by the UAE immigration authorities that allows foreign nationals to visit the country for tourism, leisure, or a short stay. Citizens of many countries including EU member states, the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, and GCC nationals receive a free visa on arrival or are visa exempt. Nationals of other countries must apply for a visa in advance through a licensed travel agency, airline, or hotel. White Sky Travel can confirm whether your nationality requires a pre-arranged visa before you travel.
How long can I stay in the UAE on a tourist visa?
The permitted length of stay depends on the visa type you are issued. A 30 day tourist visa allows you to remain in the UAE for up to 30 days from the date of entry. A 60 day tourist visa permits a stay of up to 60 days. A 90 day tourist visa is available for longer visits. Multiple entry visas allow repeated stays within the overall visa validity period, with each individual stay not exceeding the duration stated on the visa. Staying beyond your permitted period without a valid extension or renewal will result in daily overstay fines.
What documents are required to apply for a UAE tourist visa?
The standard documents required for most UAE tourist visa applications are a clear scanned copy of your passport (valid for at least six months), a recent passport size photograph with a white background, and in some cases a confirmed return flight ticket and hotel booking. Depending on your nationality, a bank statement showing sufficient funds for your stay may also be required. Our team will provide you with a precise document checklist based on your nationality and the visa type you are applying for.
How long does it take to process a UAE tourist visa?
Standard UAE tourist visa processing takes between 3 and 5 working days after all required documents have been submitted and payment is confirmed. During peak travel periods such as public holidays or school vacation seasons, processing times may be slightly longer. We recommend applying at least 7 to 10 days before your intended travel date to allow sufficient time. If you have an urgent requirement, contact our team directly and we will advise on available options for faster processing where possible.
What is the difference between a single entry and multiple entry UAE tourist visa?
A single entry tourist visa permits you to enter the UAE once. Once you exit the country, the visa is no longer valid and you would require a new visa to return. A multiple entry tourist visa allows you to enter and exit the UAE any number of times within the validity period of the visa. The multiple entry option is ideal for travellers who plan to visit neighbouring countries such as Oman during their overall stay and wish to return to the UAE without applying for a new visa each time.
Can I extend my UAE tourist visa while inside the country?
Tourist visas issued in the UAE generally cannot be extended from within the country without first exiting. The two main renewal options available are a bus visa change trip to Oman or an air to air visa change using a FlyDubai flight. Both services are available through White Sky Travel and involve exiting the UAE, completing the necessary immigration process, and re-entering on a new tourist visa. We recommend contacting us before your current visa expires to avoid overstay fines.
What happens if I overstay my UAE tourist visa?
Overstaying a UAE tourist visa results in a fine of AED 50 per day for every day beyond the visa expiry date, plus a one time administrative fee of AED 250. Continued overstay may result in further penalties and can affect your eligibility for future UAE visas. It is essential to monitor your visa expiry date carefully. If your visa is close to expiring and you are unsure of your options, contact White Sky Travel immediately and our team will advise the fastest solution available to you.
Is a Dubai tourist visa the same as a UAE tourist visa?
Yes. The UAE is a federal nation made up of seven emirates including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah, and Fujairah. A UAE tourist visa allows you to enter and travel freely across all seven emirates. There is no separate Dubai only visa. When travellers refer to a Dubai tourist visa, they are referring to the standard UAE tourist visa that grants access to the entire country, regardless of which airport or land border you use to enter.
How much does a UAE tourist visa cost in AED?
UAE tourist visa fees vary depending on the visa duration and entry type. A 30 day single entry tourist visa starts from AED 300 to AED 450 approximately, while a 60 day single entry visa starts from AED 550 to AED 700 depending on the processing time selected. Multiple entry visas carry a higher fee. All fees are subject to official UAE government service charges and may change. Contact White Sky Travel for the most current pricing applicable to your nationality and visa type.
Can I apply for a UAE tourist visa online through White Sky Travel?
Yes. White Sky Travel is a DED licensed travel agency in Dubai authorised to submit UAE tourist visa applications through the official UAE immigration portals. You do not need to navigate government websites yourself. Simply contact our team via WhatsApp, share your passport documents, and we will handle the entire online application process on your behalf. Once approved, your visa is sent to you electronically and you can print it or present it digitally when entering the UAE.
Does my passport need to be valid for 6 months for a UAE tourist visa?
Yes. Your passport must have a minimum validity of six months from your intended date of entry into the UAE. This is a firm requirement for UAE tourist visa eligibility. If your passport expires within six months of your planned travel date, you must renew your passport before submitting a visa application. Our team checks document validity as part of the initial review process and will inform you promptly if your passport validity does not meet the requirement.
Can I travel to other countries with a UAE tourist visa?
A UAE tourist visa permits entry into the United Arab Emirates only and does not grant access to other countries. However, holding a valid UAE tourist visa or UAE residence visa can make you eligible for visa on arrival access or simplified entry into certain countries such as Oman, Bahrain, and others. The specific benefits depend on your passport nationality. If you plan to visit multiple countries during your trip, speak to our travel consultants and we will help you plan the visa requirements for each destination.
