The Abu Dhabi Tourist Visa Explained – Rule Changes in 2022

On this page, we detail everything you need to know about tourist visas for Abu Dhabi and the UAE. Note that these visa rules apply no matter which Emirate you come in and out of.

We have updated this page following changes to the visa system in October 2022.

We have attempted to provide clear and accurate information; however, at the time of writing, some aspects of the new Visa system are not entirely clear during this transition period. This page will be amended as soon as more official information becomes available.

In addition to requiring a visa to enter the country as a tourist, please keep abreast of current COVID-19 requirements . As of 7 November, 2022, the Al Hosn “Green Pass” requirement was abolished .

Who needs to apply for a Tourist Visa?

Anyone not a GCC national or eligible for a visa on arrival (see list below) must apply for a visa in advance to visit the UAE.

You can apply either through your airline or UAE-registered tour operator for the appropriate visa.

• Visa services from Etihad Airways
• Visa Services offered by Emirates Airline
• Visa services from Fly Dubai
• Visa services from Air Arabia

A single entry transit visa for less than 48 hours is free, whilst of 4-day short-stay, visa costs 50AED.

A 30-day, single-entry visa costs in the region of 350 AED, depending on the service that you use to obtain it. Alternatively, a 60-day single-entry visa costs in the region of 650 AED. Both 30 and 60-day single-entry visit visas can be extended for a further 30 days for a fee of 960 AED.

Note that people under the age of 18 cannot apply for a tourist visa unless they are travelling with their parents.

Visa-Free Entry to the UAE

Citizens from  GCC Countries   do not need to apply for a visa on arrival to the UAE.

Countries eligible for Visa on Arrival

Upon landing at Abu Dhabi International Airport, simply make your way to immigration, where your visa will be issued.

These countries are currently eligible for a FREE visit visa on arrival to the UAE:

• Czech Republic
• Liechtenstein
• Netherlands
• New Zealand
• People’s Republic of China
• Republic of El Salvador
• Republic of Mauritius
• Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
• South Korea
• Switzerland
• United Kingdom
• United States of America
• Vatican City

A visit visa for most of these countries lasts for 60 days and can be renewed for another 30 days twice. If you overstay a visit visa, the fine is 200 AED for the first day and 100 AED per day after that – see more below on overstays.

There is a 10-day grace period (this means that you won’t be fined for overstaying your visa until Day 70). 

Note that the 26 countries in the Schengen Zone had previously been allowed to stay in the UAE for 90 days, although it is unclear whether this is still the case following the immigration reforms of October 2022.

Five-Year Multi-Visit Visa (New in 2022)

A five-year multi-visit visa is also available for the above countries, which allows the holder to stay in the UAE for up to 90 days in a row and up to 180 days per year.

In order to apply for this type of visa, you need to prove that you have USD 4,000 in your bank account (for at least six months prior to the visa application) and purchase UAE Health Insurance.

Citizens of India

There are specific rules applicable to Indian citizens,  which you can find here .

If you have any concerns, you should verify this information on the UAE Government website.

What happens if my tourist Visa has expired?

If your 60-day tourist visa to the UAE has expired, you have two options:

• About Abu Dhabi Travel Planner
• Ultimate Guide To Using eScooters in Abu Dhabi
• Hafilat – The Abu Dhabi Bus Card Explained
• Leave the country before your 10-day grace period expires (ie, by day 69)
• Apply to Immigration and pay a fee to have your visit visa extended. It is currently understood that you are able to extend your 60-day visa by 30 days twice, giving you a maximum of 120 days in the UAE ( previously, you could keep renewing indefinitely by leaving the country and returning).

What is a Visa Run?

A Visa run is a common expression used for when you leave the country in order to re-enter and start a fresh visit visa immediately.

Most commonly, this is done on the UAE’s border with Oman as it is quite straightforward and inexpensive to cross by land, provided you have access to a car. We have a detailed guide on how the process works on our Dubai Travel Planner site . It is identical for Abu Dhabi, although there may be closer border crossing points to consider near Al Ain.

There is no need to do a visa run as visas can easily be renewed online, but it is still an option which helps combine costs with a trip to a neighbouring country.

Accidental overstays

It’s important to note if you leave the country during the first 60 days, your UAE Visa on Arrival will not renew upon re-entry. It’s a 60-day multi-entry Visa .  If you are travelling through Abu Dhabi, let’s say onward to Europe, then have a stopover in Abu Dhabi again, be very careful if that second stop sees you cross over from 60 days to 70 days.

Eg: You arrive in Abu Dhabi on 1 September, stay for a few days, and then fly on to Europe. You return to the UAE on 30 October.  You then spend two weeks in Abu Dhabi and fly out again on 12 November.

Even though you only stayed in the UAE for just over two weeks, your original 60-day visa was still valid on re-entry. You are considered to have overstayed your visit visa by 12 days as you did not leave the country, and it was not renewed during the 10-day grace period.

Road trip to Oman?

A good way to avoid this can be to include a trip to Oman with your Abu Dhabi trip!  Musandam is our favourite location for an overnight trip, although the closest crossing point from Abu Dhabi city is Al Ain; not only an amazing experience, but you can avoid any issues with overstaying your visa and receiving a fine by exiting the country between day 60 and day 69.

There are a few small costs involved, and depending on your nationality, you may need to apply for an e-visa in advance. Other than transportation, you have to pay an exit fee to the UAE, and a  tourist Visa entry fee to Oman, currently 5OR for a 10-day visit visa. 

Re-entering the UAE, there are no charges on the Omani or UAE side, just stamping of your passports.

If you are travelling in a hire car, you will need to check that your insurance covers Oman and obtain a ’no objection certificate (NOC)’.

NB If you are looking to work in the UAE and become a resident, different visa categories will apply.  You may still be instructed by a future employer to enter on a tourist visa; then you will be changed across to the appropriate visa category in due course.

There has never been a better time to move to Abu Dhabi with over 60 visa options available. Deciding which visa to apply for can be tricky, but understanding the requirements and your eligibility can make the process easier.

What is the Difference Between an Entry Permit and a Residence Visa?

Entry permit throughout.

An Entry Visa allows you to enter and stay in Abu Dhabi legally for a short period of time and can be granted for a number of reasons including employment, visits, tourism, medical treatment, missions and conferences. Most entry visas are valid for two months (60 days) but the duration depends on the type of Entry Visa. For example, entry visas for transit allow you to stay in the country for only four days, while entry visas for employment allow you to stay in the country for 60 days during which you must obtain a residence visa or apply for an extension.

All visas can be extended for 30 days twice without needing to leave and re-enter the country for renewal. If you fail to extend your entry visa and overstay, you will have to pay a fine of AED 100 per day, which is calculated from 10 days after the expiration date of the visa. The rules for extension do not apply to certain groups including: visitors and tourists who are residents in GCC countries; residents accompanying GCC nationals; those on special entry permits; and those on 96-hour permits for special missions.

• Residence Visa

A Residence Visa is issued to people who are already in the country after entering the UAE on an Entry or Tourist Visa. It allows you to live and work in Abu Dhabi and can last from one to three years depending on the sponsor. Long term residence visas are available for five or 10 years subject to certain conditions.

Do You Need a Visa to Enter the UAE?

Yes. Coming to Abu Dhabi requires obtaining an entry visa , which allows you to enter and stay in the emirate legally for a short period of time. Conditions for obtaining an Entry Visa differ based on nationality, the purpose of the visit and the duration of stay. Before you apply for an entry visa, check if you are eligible for visa-free entry or can receive a visa on arrival.

Gulf Cooperation Countries (GCC)

Visa on arrival, pre-arranged entry visa, sponsorship, valid documents, no restrictions.

Citizens of GCC countries do not require an Entry Visa or to be sponsored by a UAE national or resident in order to enter the UAE. They simply need to provide their passport or national ID issued by a GCC country at the point of entry. The validity of entry permits for GCC residents is 30 days.

Citizens of these countries are not required to apply for an Entry Visa prior to arrival. Instead, an entry visa is issued automatically upon arrival and it is valid for 30 days with a 10-day period for extension.

The list is subject to change; therefore it is advisable to check with the UAE embassy abroad or the airline before travelling to Abu Dhabi.

Anyone who does not have the privilege of visa-free entry or visa on arrival must apply for an entry visa ahead of travel.

You need a sponsor to apply for your entry permit. The sponsor can be:

• Tourism establishments
• Companies based in Abu Dhabi
• Individuals (UAE national or an expatriate who is already living in the country with a valid residence visa)

You must have a valid passport with at least six months validity from the date of entry.

You must not have been previously deported or banned from entering the UAE. A visa ban prohibits a person from entering the country or taking up a new job. If either of these conditions apply, you must obtain special permission to re-enter the UAE. Apply for an entry visa

UAE Visit Visa Extension: New Rules and Fees Simplified

Main Points

Extend Your UAE Visit Visa: New Rules and Costs Explained

If you have a visa to visit someone in the UAE, you can now extend it for 30 days, regardless of whether your original visa was for 30, 60, or 90 days. This decision was made by the UAE Cabinet and has been in effect for a few weeks.

Documents Required for the extension of UAE Visit Visa:

To extend your visa, you need to use the “UAEICP” smart application and provide

• your original entry permit
• a recent photo.

Your passport must also have at least six months of validity left.

Cost of extending UAE Visit Visa

The fee for extending a visit visa for 30 days is Dh750, which includes various charges like issuance fee, application fee, smart services fee, and an insurance and authority fee.

To be eligible for this service, you should be a relative or friend of someone living in the UAE, and you need to provide proof of your relationship and reasons for your visit.

If you make any mistakes or miss documents in your application, it may be rejected electronically after 30 days. You can get a refund of the fees you paid if your application is rejected, and this can be done through credit card, check, or bank transfer.

The UAE government is making it easier for residents to apply for visit visas for their relatives or friends through a user-friendly online application to improve customer service and meet the needs of various residents and foreigners in the country.

If you’re a tourist in the UAE and want to stay longer, you can extend your tourist visa , but you can only do it once for 30 days. This rule was decided by the UAE government.

How to Extend your UAE Visit Visa ?

To extend your UAE visit visa, here’s what you need to do:

• If a tourist agency initially issued your visa, you should contact them to request an extension.
• Keep in mind that when you apply for an extension, it will only be granted once, and it will be for a one-month period, as per the latest information from the ICP.
• You can only extend your visa through the agency that initially applied for it. So, if a travel agency arranged your visa, you’ll need to go back to them for the extension.
• If you want to stay longer than that, you’ll have to leave the country and then apply for a new tourist visa to re-enter. Some travel agencies offer a service to help you do this, but it depends on the approval of your new visa application.
• Always stay within the timeframe of your visa to avoid legal problems due to overstaying.

Visitors to the UAE can now come to the country on a three-month visa, Khaleej Times can reveal.

A call centre executive at the Federal Authority For Identity, Citizenship, Customs & Port Security (ICP) said that people who want to visit the UAE for 90 days can make use of the opportunity. “They should consult their travel agents who will help them in issuing the 90-days visit visa,” said the call centre executive.

According to industry experts, this visa was introduced by the end of May 2023, allowing visitors to stay in the UAE for up to 90 days. The visa can be extendable within the country at an additional cost based on the service provider.

Residents are not aware of this three-month visa, Libin Varghese, sales director at Rooh Tourism LLC, said.

According to industry experts, this was reintroduced by the end of May 2023, allowing visitors to stay in the UAE for up to 90 days.

Different types of entry permits

“There are two types of entry permits — a tourist visa or a leisure visa and a visit visa. A tourist visa is issued for 30 or 60 days. The visit visa is issued for 90 days,” said Subair Thekepurathvalappil, senior manager for inbound and outbound operations at Regal Tours Worldwide, adding that this extended visit visa complements the existing tourist visa options, which includes a 30-day or 60-day stay, offering travellers greater flexibility in planning their itineraries.

The 30-day and the recently introduced 60-day tourist visas have long been popular among visitors seeking shorter stays in the UAE, providing ample time to explore the country's iconic landmarks and indulge in world-class shopping and dining experiences.

Who can apply?

Industry experts said that anyone can apply for this visa. “Currently, we have not received much inquiry about it, and visitors who prefer this entry permit are their family members residing in the UAE, as they want to spend a longer time. Take for instance, if a child who is studying in his home country visits UAE during vacations or parents of a resident,” said Varghese.

The fee for a 90-day-visit visa varies depending on your issuing travel expert, with a starting price of Dh1,500 and can go up to Dh2,000, which can even be extended within the country. “The exact details of extension has not been announced as the visa was introduced a few days ago,” said Varghese.

Documents required

According to Subair, one must submit the following documents if planning to apply for the long term visit visa:

• Recent passport-size coloured photograph
• Passport copy
• Processing time

“Once a person applies for this visa, it may take up to five working days. But we can even receive it in two days,” said Subair.

Without taking much of your time, let us start!

But fortunately, I will cover all the bases in this blog; at the end, you can determine whether you need a UAE visit visa.

Keep reading to find out if you can get a visa on arrival, need a visa before traveling, or if you can enter the country visa-free.

In-depth Details About The UAE Visit Visa

There is so much information that you should know about the visit visa. So I thought, let me start by giving you some in-depth information about the visa types and other aspects of the visa.

So let's look at the following:

What Is The UAE Visit Visa And Why Do I Need One?

Is there a difference between a uae visit visa and tourist visa, can i apply for a uae visit visa on arrival, can i travel visa-free to uae, can i apply for a uae visit visa online, can i apply for a uae visit visa through the uae embassy, what are the types of visit visa for uae, how long can i stay in uae visit with a valid visa, what is the visit visa uae price, what is the uae visit visa processing time.

A UAE Visit Visa (Dubai Visit Visa) is for foreign nationals who are not eligible for a visa on arrival or visa-free entry to the United Arab Emirates.

A Visit Visa UAE is a short-term visa, which means that the Visa is only valid for a short period. If you stay longer than the date of issue (your visa's expiry date), you will get a fine.

This visa allows you to spend time with your family and friends who reside in the UAE on a long-term visa. The validity of a visit visa depends on the visa type; however, they are extendable.

There is a small difference between the two visa types. However, to explain better, the difference between the two is that you can apply for a tourist visa yourself without needing sponsorship from your family member in the UAE.

Whereas a visit visa UAE is to visit your friends, relatives, or family members in the UAE on a residence visa. They must sponsor you and apply for the visa on your behalf on online government portals such as ICP or GDRFA service.

At times, people tend to interchange the name and review one type as the other. But in essence, a visit visa - UAE is when you visit friends or family members.

But suppose you do not need to get sponsored. In that case, you can apply for the visa normally through Atlys , airlines, or the other available channels in your country.

If you are eligible for a visa on arrival, this means that you do not need to apply for a visa before traveling to UAE.

However, keep in mind that depending on your passport, you can only stay in the country for a specific number of days.

You can get a Visa On Arrival if you are a citizen of one of the following countries:

VOA for 30 days are:

A ndorra, Australia, B runei, C anada, China, H ong Kong, J apan, K azakhstan, M acau, Malaysia, Mauritius, Monaco, N ew Zealand, R epublic of Ireland, S an Marino, Singapore, U kraine, The United Kingdom, United States of America, and V atican City

VOA for 90 days are:

A rgentina, Austria, B ahamas Islands, Barbados, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, C hile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, D emark, E l Salvador, Estonia, F inland, France, G ermany, Greece, H onduras, Hungary, I celand, Italy, K iribati, L atvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, M aldives, Malta, Montenegro, N auru, Netherlands, Norway, P araguay, Peru, Poland, Portugal, R omania, Russian Federation, S aint Vincent and the Grenadines, San Marino, Serbia, Seychelles, Slovakia, Slovenia, Solomon Islands, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and U ruguay

VOA for 180 days are:

Mexican passport holders can get a visa on arrival for 180 days validity.

Special conditions for a VOA:

Indian passport holders that meet specific requirements can apply for a UAE visa on arrival .

If your country is not on the list above, it means that you must get a visit visa for UAE before traveling.

The citizens of GCC countries (the Gulf Cooperation Council) do not require a visa to visit the UAE, which includes:

B ahrain, K uwait, O man, Q atar, and S audi Arabia

However, suppose you have a resident visa for a GCC country. In that case, you can apply for your eVisa through the ICP or GDRFAD website before your arrival. And you cannot apply for a visa on arrival in UAE.

Yes. You can apply for your UAE visit visa online. For example, you can apply through Atlys or Airline web pages that allow online application.

Whereas your sponsors living in UAE can apply on your behalf through online application centers such as the ICP or the GDRFAD website.

However, in some cases, navigating through an online portal can be difficult as each method of applying is different.

The easiest way to apply for your Dubai Tourist Visa online is through Atlys. The entire UAE tourist visa can be done from the comfort of your couch in less than 5 minutes.

No. Unfortunately, the UAE embassy does not process visa applications for tourism or visit purposes. Instead, you must apply using one of the methods mentioned in the blog.

But I would suggest you check with the embassy of UAE in your country whether they offer such services.

The visa type will differ depending on how long you wish to stay in the country. However, these visa types can be extended should you need to stay in the country for longer.

The UAE government offers the following types of visit visas:

30-Day Single Entry Visit Visa: This tourist visa allows the holder to enter and exit UAE once and stay for the duration of the visa's validity period, which is 30 days .

30-Day Single Multiple Visit Visa: This tourist visa allows the holder to enter and exit UAE multiple times during the validity of the visa, which is 30 days .

60-Days Single Entry Visit Visa: This tourist visa allows the holder to enter and exit UAE once and stay for the duration of the visa's validity period, which is 60 days . This visa type was previously discontinued; however, since October 2022, the visa agents have said they started granting it again, according to the Khaleej Times .

60-Days Multiple Entry Visit Visa: This tourist visa allows the holder to enter and exit UAE multiple times during the validity of the visa, which is 60 days .

90-Day Single Entry Visit Visa: This tourist visa allows the holder to enter and exit UAE once and stay for the duration of the visa's validity period, which is 90 days .

90-Day Single Multiple Visit Visa: This tourist visa allows the holder to enter and exit UAE multiple times during the validity of the visa, which is 90 days .

Well, this pretty much depends on the visit visa UAE you applied for. And hence, generally, the maximum validity of your stay period is between 30 to 120 days , and you are either allowed single or multiple entries into the country.

The visa fees vary depending on the visa type and where you apply for it. So, depending on your chosen application method, the visa fee could be more or less. Apart from the visa fee, you will be charged additional fees , which include the service fee, VAT, issuance fee, and application fee.

The following visa fees from GDRFA exclude the service fees:

Single entry long-period visa:

30-day single entry visit visa: AED 200

60-day single entry visit visa: AED 300

90-day single entry visit visa: AED 400

You can also apply for a friend or family visa , which allows a muli-entry. Here are the fees for the multi-entry visit visa:

30-day multiple entry visit visa: AED 300

60-day multiple entry visit visa: AED 500

90-day multi-entry visit visa: AED 700

There is also an option of applying for a visit visa to explore job or business opportunities . Here are the fees for these visas:

60-day visit visa: AED 200

90-day visit visa: AED 300

120-day visit visa: AED 400

Remember, the visa fees are non-refundable, and depending on what information you put in your application, the visa fee could vary. And you also have to pay a security deposit for the online applications.

* Fees are eligible to change. Please be sure to check the government website for the most updated information.

Generally, if you have all the necessary documentation, the visa processing should take no more than 3 to 5 working days excluding weekends or public holidays in UAE.

However, in some cases, it could take longer, and it all depends on your visa application.

Additional Information On UAE Visa

You now should know more or less everything about the visit visa. But I thought of adding additional information that will be helpful to you.

UAE Visit Visa Rules While In UAE Visit

Can i extend my uae visa, how can i extend my uae visa, how much is the visit visa extension uae fee 2022, what happens if i overstay in uae visa, can i work in uae visit with my uae visit visa.

UAE is very strict with its immigration rules. And since the majority of their processes are centralized and computerized, it is extremely difficult to get away with anything.

So I decided to add a few rules that you should follow during your visit to the UAE:

If you are a GCC resident, you cannot renew your visit visa

You cannot overstay your visa without extending your tourist or visit visa to UAE

You cannot work or study on a visit visa

You cannot take up residency with a visit visa for UAE

Yes, you can. You can extend all types of visit and tourist visas for 30 days twice upon applying for it and after successful approval by the relevant authority. You can do this without leaving the country.

You can apply for the second renewal before the expiry of the first one against AED 600 for each time of renewal.

As mentioned above, visa overstayers who do not renew will have to pay AED 100 fine for each day of their overstay, to be calculated 10 days after the visa expiry.

Additionally, for citizens legible for VOA, if you have fully utilized the 30 or 90 days stay within 6 months , you can still apply for a pre-arranged visa which allows them to stay in the UAE for up to 90 days .

You can apply for a visa extension through the Federal Authority For Identity & Citizenship, Customs & Port Security website . When accessing the website, click on the "Public Visa Service" option. This will take you straight to the page where you can apply for your Dubai Tourist Visa extension.

First, you must provide your passport number, passport type, date of birth, and nationality. Then, at the bottom of the page, you'll see the types of Dubai Tourist Visas you can extend.

The visa extension process is very straightforward; you must provide personal information, attach the required documents (the same documents as your visa application), and then pay the service fee.

The visit visa extension UAE fee 2022 is AED 600 for each visa extension. And you can extend your visit visa for UAE twice for 30 days each .

If you are on a visit visa UAE and overstay your visa validity, you will be fined and deported. However, you have a 10 days grace period after your visa expires to extend or renew your visa.

If you fail to do so and the 10-day grace period has passed, you will have to pay the following fine:

After overstaying your first day after the grace period, you pay AED 200

After that, you pay AED100 for each consecutive day

And an additional AED 100 , as service fees

No. You cannot work in the UAE on a visit visa since it is illegal. You need a valid work permit and an employment visa to be able to work in the country.

If you are caught working on a visit visa or tourist visa, you could end up getting fined and deported.

That's Everything About The UAE Visas!
