What Is Included in the Dubai Visa Price?
When you compare prices online, check what each quoted figure actually includes. A Dubai visa price is usually made up of these parts:
- Government visa fee: the fee set by UAE immigration (GDRFA Dubai or ICP). [VERIFY: insert current official fee for the 30-day single-entry tourist visa, e.g. "AED ___ before service charges".]
- Sponsor and processing service: tourist visas need a UAE-based sponsor, such as a licensed travel agency or a hotel. This part covers application handling, document checks and support.
- Mandatory charges: knowledge and innovation fees, VAT, and any other charges added by the immigration system.
- Optional extras: express processing, travel insurance, OK to Board confirmation and airport transfers.
A very low headline price often leaves out the service fee or the mandatory charges. Always compare the total amount payable.
Which Dubai Visa Should You Choose?
- Holiday of up to 4 weeks, staying only in the UAE: 30-day single entry ($100), the cheapest option.
- Long family visit or job-search trip: 60-day single entry ($170). It is cheaper than buying two 30-day visas.
- Side trip to Oman, Saudi Arabia or another country during your stay: a 30-day or 60-day multiple-entry visa. Because it allows re-entry, you do not need a second visa.
- Even longer stay: see the 90-day Dubai visa.
- Layover only: a 48-hour or 96-hour transit visa is designed for short stopovers.

What Affects the Price of a Dubai Visa?
- Length of stay: a 60-day visa costs more than a 30-day visa.
- Number of entries: multiple-entry visas cost more than single-entry visas because you can leave and come back.
- Processing speed: urgent 30-day and urgent 60-day processing costs more than standard processing.
- Nationality: some passports need extra documents or face additional checks. For example, see our page on national ID requirements for Pakistan, Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan.
- Add-ons: insurance, OK to Board and airport services are added to the total.
Express and Urgent Dubai Visa Options
If you are travelling within the next few days, standard 3–4 day processing may be too slow. Choose one of these instead:
- Urgent 30-day Dubai visa: processed in about 24 working hours.
- Urgent 60-day Dubai visa: processed in about 24 working hours.
- Dubai express visa: the fastest application route.
The urgent options cost more than standard processing. Current prices are shown on each page.
Dubai Visa Price for Indian Citizens
Indian passport holders pay the same prices as other travellers: $100 (30 days single entry), $170 (60 days single entry), $250 (30 days multiple entry) and $280 (60 days multiple entry). Standard processing also takes the same 3–4 working days.
Some Indian travellers may not need a pre-arranged visa at all. Indian nationals who hold a valid US visa or green card, or a UK or EU residence permit, may be eligible for a visa on arrival. Check the current eligibility rules on the official ICP website before you fly. If you do not qualify, apply for an e-visa in advance.
Documents Required for a Dubai Tourist Visa
- A clear colour scan of your passport bio page, valid for at least 6 months from your arrival date
- A recent passport-size photo with a white background
- A return or onward flight booking (may be requested)
- Hotel booking or the address of your host. You may not always need a hotel booking: see Can you get a Dubai visa without a hotel booking?
- Extra documents for some nationalities, such as a national ID card
Blurry scans and passport details that don't match are the most common causes of delays. Make sure every document is sharp and complete before you upload it.

How Long Does Dubai Visa Processing Take?
| Option | Typical processing time |
|---|---|
| Standard 30- or 60-day tourist visa | 3–4 working days |
| Urgent 30- or 60-day tourist visa | About 24 working hours |
| 48-hour and 96-hour transit visas | 24–72 hours |
Fridays, Saturdays and UAE public holidays can add time. Apply at least one week before you travel, or use urgent processing.
Can You Extend a Dubai Tourist Visa?
Yes. Many tourist visas can be extended inside the UAE for an extra fee, although the conditions depend on the visa type. Another option is a visa change: you take a short trip out of the UAE and come back on a new visa. See the 30-day, 60-day and 90-day airport-to-airport visa change options. Arrange either one before your current visa expires, because overstaying leads to daily fines.
Common Mistakes That Increase the Cost
- Choosing the wrong visa: buying a single-entry visa and then needing to leave and return means paying for a second visa.
- Applying too late: urgent processing costs more than standard.
- Data-entry errors: a misspelled name or wrong passport number can mean the application has to be redone.
- Overstaying: fines are charged for every day you stay past your permitted period.
- Forgetting OK to Board: some airlines need OK to Board confirmation before you can check in.
