UAE Visa
Tourist and visit visa assistance for the United Arab Emirates, handled end to end by our Dubai team.
Overview
Many nationalities can enter the UAE visa-free or receive a visa on arrival, while others need a visa arranged in advance. Which category you fall into depends on your passport, and it is the first thing we check for you.
Where a visa is required, UAE tourist and visit visas are issued electronically in different validities and entry types. We will confirm which one suits your trip length and whether it can be extended, so you are not paying for more than you need.
Documents Required
The list below covers what is usually requested. Your exact checklist depends on your nationality and circumstances, and we confirm it for you before submission.
- Passport valid for at least six months from your date of entry
- Recent colour passport photograph against a white background
- Confirmed return or onward flight booking
- Hotel booking, or the details and documents of your UAE host
- Additional supporting documents where the immigration authority requests them
Processing Time
Electronic UAE visas are usually processed quickly, but the timeline is controlled by the immigration authority and can extend during busy periods or where additional checks are required. We give you the current published processing time when you apply, and update you if it changes.
What We Handle
- Confirming which visa type fits your trip and your nationality
- Giving you a document checklist specific to your case
- Reviewing your documents before submission so avoidable errors are caught early
- Completing and lodging the application on your behalf
- Booking the appointment or biometrics slot where one is required
- Tracking progress and keeping you updated until a decision is issued
Good to know
If you are already in the UAE and need a status change or an extension, tell us before your current entry expires — the options available depend on how you entered and how long you have been in the country.
Visa requirements, fees and processing times are set by the issuing authority, not by Travel Gate Tourism, and can change without notice. What applies to you depends on your nationality, your travel history and your individual profile. No agent can guarantee the outcome of a visa application. We will confirm the exact requirements, current fees and published processing times for your case in writing before you commit to anything.
