In reality, UAE visit visa applies to tourists who wish to spend more
than 14 days to visit families, be a tourist and for those who has a
business that continues to travel in the country in and out. For
individuals that will try to look for a job, same visa applies and you
need a sponsor to get the visa. If you don't have a sponsor, no worries, there are two other ways to get a visa anyway, just keep
reading.
Visit visa is valid for 30 or 60 days and it is renewable, a
corresponding fee applies during renewal process. You must travel
within two months from its date of issue, otherwise the visa will be
void.
In case, you just want to pass by and check Dubai out.
There is no visa required if you are in transit for 96 hours, you can
check with the airlines issuing your ticket.
What is a sponsor?
Sponsor should be your first degree family – example: Husband, wife,
father, mother, son, daughter, brother and sister.
Cousins, auntie, uncle, nephews and niece will not be considered as a
family sponsor, I know they are also your family but it just don't
work that way.
What are the requirements?
1. Colored passport that is valid for six months to travel - scanned
2. Passport picture - scanned
Send these two requirements to your sponsor by email.
How to get the visa?
3 Options
1. A first degree family member who holds Dubai residence visa and
has a salary of more than 4,000 AED can sponsor and apply the visa for
you.
2. If you don't have a sponsor, there are travel agencies in Dubai
that provides visit visa assistance processing including air-ticket. You can ask your
family and friends currently working in Dubai, just send the
requirements to them and they can submit all of it to any of the several
travel agencies in the city and the visa ready for you.
3. You can book for 1 or more nights stay at any Dubai hotels that
provides visit visa assistance on your behalf. However, this process
is quite costly than two options mentioned above.
How much is the fee?
1. If you go with sponsor 1, it is very minimal fee around 500 AED
maximum or less plus air ticket.
2. Should you go with option 2, usually the travel agencies collects
1,800 AED for one month and 2,800 AED for two months plus air ticket.
