There’s no separate visa for Dubai. A United Arab Emirates visa covers Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and the other five emirates. Citizens of many countries, including the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and most of Europe, get a free visa when they arrive at the airport. Travelers from many other countries need to apply online for a UAE Tourist eVisa before they fly. It covers tourism, business meetings, and visiting family.
Start your application, and iVisa will confirm exactly which United Arab Emirates travel document you need based on your nationality and trip. iVisa will then help you get it, with expert support along the way.

It was a good experience! Thank you so much! In my opinion a it was a good and easy and fast way obtaining my visa! I very much appreciate and I very happy with your service iVisa. I recommend you my friends! One case was I recommend my friend Rudy Miculax from Guatemala to use your service! Thank soo much!!
I was so worried that iVisa was a scam but it's indeed legitimate. I only had 1 full day to get my Dubai visa, and iVisa overdelivered because they were able to send it to me earlier than the set expectation! Thank you very much.
Never been so grateful to an app. All I can say is thank you for your help. I had a very smooth transaction with you guys. God bless!
Great experience with iVisa! The process was fast, simple, and stress-free. Everything felt genuine and professional from start to finish. I also appreciated that their prices were reasonable—not at the high end like some other services. Highly recommend!"
They accepted by application although they knew that I was going to miss my flight and I did! Their bot was saying one business day and their operators 3 days! All the time saying that I was going to hear shortly but shortly was almost 3 days! Very bad service overall. Their service cost me thousands of dollars in missed flights and accommodation.
Very quick turnaround - done within 24 hours for my Dubai visa.
Its too fast to process and getting dubai visa really quick. I surely use this ivisa apps again for sure if we travel outside the country. 💯 And thanks to the person online who made my visa real quick his name is "Jose" of ivisa.com
Excellent service so quick and professional would used them again for sure
The price is not that cheap comparing to the official website from Dubai but their website did not work properly so you have no other chance than to use other companies who need to take their own charges in order to exist as a company. So besides the price it was very easy to apply for the visa and we received it within 1 day although we did not choose the express but only the standard visa. Also the support was very helpful by telling immediately that the they need a new picture of the passport so everything was ready within 1 day.
I applied for UAE visa, and it came out in less than 72 hours. I checked it on UAE government website and it was legit because i was worried at first it might be a fake visa. I used it a week later to enter UAE and everything went well. This is not a fake review, I highly recommend using their services.
United Arab Emirates visa FAQs
What travelers commonly ask about United Arab Emirates visas.
Still have questions?
Our visa experts are available 24/7 on chat, email, and WhatsApp.
Do I need a visa for Dubai?
It depends on your passport.
- Citizens of many countries, including the US, UK, Canada, Australia and most of Europe, get a free visa on arrival at the airport, with nothing to apply for in advance.
- Travelers from many other countries need to apply online for the UAE Tourist eVisa before they fly.
Some travelers who hold a valid US visa or green card, or a UK or EU residence permit, may also qualify for a visa on arrival, depending on their nationality. Start your application and iVisa will confirm which document you need.
Is a Dubai visa the same as a UAE visa?
Yes. Dubai is one of the seven emirates of the United Arab Emirates, so there's no separate Dubai visa. A UAE visa or visa on arrival lets you visit Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the other emirates on the same trip.
How do I get a Dubai visa?
First, check whether your passport qualifies for a visa on arrival. If it does, you don't need to apply for anything before your trip.
If it doesn't, apply online for the UAE Tourist eVisa before you fly:
- Fill in the online application and upload your passport, photo and travel details
- Choose your processing speed and pay the government fee and iVisa's service fee
- Receive your approved eVisa by email and print a copy for your trip
iVisa can help you get your UAE Tourist eVisa, with expert checks and support along the way.
Can I get a visa on arrival in Dubai?
Yes, if your nationality is eligible. The visa on arrival is free and is stamped in your passport at immigration. Depending on your passport, it usually allows a stay of 30 days or 90 days within a 180-day period. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your arrival date.
If your nationality isn't eligible, you can't get a visa at the airport, so apply for your UAE Tourist eVisa online before you fly.
How long can I stay in Dubai?
It depends on how you enter:
- Visa on arrival: usually 30 days or 90 days within a 180-day period, depending on your passport
- UAE Tourist eVisa: up to 30 days in total, on a single entry within 60 days of the visa being issued
Do I need a visa for a layover in Dubai or Abu Dhabi?
Not if you stay in the airport's international transit area. You only need a visa if you want to leave the airport between flights.
If your nationality is eligible for a visa on arrival, you can leave the airport on that. If it isn't, you'll need a 48-hour or 96-hour transit visa, arranged through a UAE-based airline before you travel, or a tourist visa for a longer stopover.
Can I extend my stay in Dubai?
Usually, yes. Most tourist visas and visas on arrival can be extended from inside the UAE, for a fee, as long as you apply before your current permission to stay runs out.
Don't overstay: the UAE charges a fine of AED 50 for every day you stay past your visa's expiry.
