While there are countries whose citizens are visa-exempt, the rest of the nationalities must apply for a UAE visa. The easiest way to do that is online. Unfortunately, not everyone is eligible for such a document. In fact, only 22 nationalities have access to an online UAE visa process. Even so, it is the easiest way to apply for a UAE visa.

How to apply online for a UAE visa

The first thing you want to do is check whether you are eligible for an online UAE visa process or not. You can use iVisa’s Visa Checker. Once you have the result, you can move on. If you do qualify for the e-visa, you need to meet some requirements and then fill in an application form. As for the conditions, here is a list of what you need to provide:

  • Passport – all travelers are required to have a passport that remains valid for at least 6 months from the date of arrival in UAE. If the document expires sooner than that, you need to have it renewed.

  • A passport scan – make sure that the scan in JPEG format.

  • Passport photo – the photograph needs to meet the standards of a passport photo. Make sure that it is taken against a white background, and you look straight at the camera. Do not wear glasses, and headwear is not allowed unless you have religious reasons.

  • Valid e-mail address – when you apply online, a copy of your visa will be sent to you via e-mail. Make sure that you have access to your account since you need to print out the visa.

  • Means of payment – you will be asked to pay the fees during the application process, which is why you need a method of online payment. iVisa accepts credit/debit cards, Paypal, WeChat, and Alipay.

UAE visa – processing time and fees

The cost of your visa depends on what processing time you select while you complete the form. During step one of the application process, you will be required to choose on the three available processing times. They are as follows:

  • Standard processing – your request is processed within 2 business days, and you need to spend $132 on your visa.

  • Rush processing – it takes only 24 hours for your application form to be processed, and you will be charged $162.

  • Super Rush processing – if you want your UAE visa faster, choose this option and get the document in as little as 2 hours. As you can expect, this is the most expensive option. You will be charged $192.

The application form is simple, and you should be done with it in just 15 minutes. In case you have questions or trouble understanding something, iVisa has an excellent support service that is at your disposal 24/7. The service is free of charge.

As you can see, nothing is challenging about the online UAE visa process. Your efforts are minimal because iVisa handles most of the work for you. Plus, you receive your visa via e-mail in PDF format. It is by far the most convenient way to get your visa. However, if you do not qualify for this type of visa, your only option is to go and submit your visa application at the nearest UAE embassy.
