Quick answer: To stay longer in the UAE on a visit visa, you have three options with White Sky Travel. Extend your visa by 30 days without leaving for AED 1,200, if we issued it and you have extensions left. Otherwise, change your visa by A2A flight for AED 1,550 on flydubai, or by bus to the Oman border for AED 1,300 (AED 1,000 for visa on arrival or residence cancellation). A2A and bus both give you a new 60 day visit visa, with no deposit. Message us on WhatsApp and we tell you which option fits your visa.

Which option do you need?
- You hold a visa we issued and still have extensions left: extend it by 30 days without leaving. A 30 day visa can be extended up to 3 times and a 60 day visa up to 2 times.
- You are on a visa on arrival: it cannot be extended through an agency, so you need an A2A visa change or a bus visa change. The bus is AED 1,000 for you.
- Your residence visa was cancelled: to stay on a visit visa, you need to exit and return. The bus is AED 1,000 and A2A is AED 1,550.
- Your visa was issued by another agency, or you have no extensions left: change your visa by A2A or by bus, and we issue your new visa.
Can I change my visa without leaving the UAE?
Changing from a visit visa to another visit visa inside the UAE is not possible. The same applies to a visa on arrival or a cancelled residence visa: you need to exit and enter again on a new visit visa. The only way to stay longer without leaving is an extension by the agency that issued your visa.
How a visa change works with us
- Message us on WhatsApp at least 5 days before your visa expires and send your passport and visa copy.
- We confirm the right option and the full price in AED.
- Pay by payment link, or monthly with Tabby, Tamara or a UAE credit card if you are a UAE resident.
- Travel or wait: we apply for your new visa or extension and update you on WhatsApp until it is done.
Don’t wait until your visa expires
There is no grace period after a UAE visit visa expires, and overstay fines start at AED 50 per day. Book your extension or visa change at least 5 days before expiry.
