What is the UAE Visa for South Africans?

The UAE tourist eVisa is an official travel authorization that allows travelers to visit the country. This visa permits you to travel to the United Arab Emirates, including Dubai and Abu Dhabi, for short tourism or business trips.

How long is the UAE Tourist eVisa valid?

Be aware that it is a Single Entry visa. It must be used within 60 days after issued and is valid for stays up to 30 days in Total.

Requirements for the UAE Online Visa for South Africans

In order to apply for the UAE eVisa, South Africa nationals must provide some documents and information:

  • Copy of your valid passport, with an expiry date of at least 6 months from the arrival date in the UAE.
  • Passport style photo, no older than 3 months
