UAE reintroduces 90-day visit visa, allowing visitors to stay for up to 3 months

The cost of a 90-day visit visa ranges from Dh1,500 to Dh2,000, depending on various factors.

The UAE has reintroduced the three-month visit visa. Previously, the three-month or 90-day visa was discontinued and replaced with a longer-term 60-day visa for visitors planning to stay in the country for an extended period.

A representative from the Federal Authority For Identity, Citizenship, Customs & Port Security (ICP) call center confirmed that individuals interested in visiting the UAE for 90 days can take advantage of this opportunity. They advised consulting travel agents who can assist in obtaining the 90-day visit visa.

Experts in the industry have reported that this reintroduction occurred at the end of May 2023, enabling visitors to remain in the UAE for up to 90 days. However, it is possible to extend the visa within the country for an additional fee, which varies depending on the service provider.

Types of entry permits

"There are two categories of entry permits available: tourist visas or leisure visas, and visit visas,"

explained Subair Thekepurathvalappil, senior manager for inbound and outbound operations at Regal Tours Worldwide . He further mentioned that a tourist visa is typically issued for either 30 or 60 days, while a visit visa allows for a 90-day stay. This extended visit visa option complements the existing tourist visa choices, providing travelers with increased flexibility in planning their itineraries.

The 30-day and recently introduced 60-day tourist visas have been popular among visitors seeking shorter stays in the UAE. These visas offer sufficient time to explore the country's renowned landmarks and enjoy its world-class shopping and dining experiences.

Who can apply?

According to Libin Varghese, sales director at Rooh Tourism LLC , many residents are unaware of the reintroduced three-month visa offered by the authorities. Industry experts have clarified that this visa is open to anyone and is valid for both Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

Varghese further explained that currently, there hasn't been a significant number of inquiries about this visa. However, individuals who are particularly interested in this entry permit are often family members of residents in the UAE. They may wish to spend an extended period in the country, such as children visiting during school vacations or parents of residents.

According to Subair , in the past, the UAE offered two types of entry permits: a leisure visa with a validity of three months and a tourist visa with a validity of 30 days. However, recent changes in visa procedures have introduced additional options. Last year, the authorities implemented modifications that allowed for the extension of the three-month visa within the country by paying an extension fee. This change was well-received and gained popularity among visitors.

The cost of a 90-day visit visa can differ based on the travel agent or agency handling the visa application. The fee typically starts at Dh1,500 and can go up to Dh2,000. It is important to note that the specific details regarding visa extensions have not been announced yet since the visa was recently introduced. According to Varghese, further information regarding the extension process will be made available in due course.

Documents required

To apply for the long-term visit visa, Subair explains that the following documents need to be submitted:

• Recent passport-size colored photograph
• Copy of the passport

The processing time for the visa application may vary, but Subair mentions that it can take up to five working days. However, in some cases, it is possible to receive the visa within two days.

The UAE has changed the entry rule for 90-day tourist visa holders, allowing them to enter the country more than once.

The new entry rule for holders of the regular 90-day tourist visa was announced by the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Ports Security (ICP).

Previously, holders of the regular 90-day tourist visa were allowed to enter the UAE only once.

According to the ICP, the updated system will be enforced starting October 3, and will also include updates to other visas, including multiple entry visas.

The ICP pointed out, however, that some visas will only allow entry to the UAE once, which includes visit visa.

Multi-entry UAE visit visa

The updated entry visas provide new and multiple options for those wishing to visit the UAE with flexible and extendable periods of up to one year, without the requirement of a guarantor or host, according to the ICP. ICA/Expat Media

Travel agents have recorded a very high demand for the 3- month visit visa and are receiving nearly 40 inquiry calls daily. However, they have urged the residents to apply for these visas for relatives and friends at an Amer centre, by paying a refundable deposit of Dh1,000.

“Since the news about the 3-month visas broke out, residents have made plans to bring their relatives to Dubai for 90 days, rather than issuing the 2-month visa,” said Libin Varghese, sales director, Rooh Travel and Tourism.

“We have been receiving calls continuously, about 35-40 daily. I have explained to everyone that we have no role in issuing such visas,” added Libin.

Industry experts say that the visas also can be applied for online by an individual on the GDRFA website or on the app.

In October 2022, sweeping reforms were made to entry visas in the UAE as part of the Advanced Visa System. It is one of the largest residency and entry permit reforms in the UAE to date.

Bilal Saeed, a technology executive and a resident of Muteena in Deira, said he visited the Amer centre on Al Maktoum road a few days ago. “I was planning to get my parents on a two-month visa by February end. When I learned about the 3-month visa, I visited the Amer centre in Deira, but many people had come for the same purpose,” said Saeed.

“A person who had come to apply told me it may take a few days for the application to process. So, I decided to scrap the 3- month visa and applied for a two month as I wanted them to be in by the end of spring,” added Saeed.

Bilal added that the visa is issued to family members who must be immediate blood relatives like mother, father, or siblings, and can cost about Dh 1,750 inclusive of the security deposit.

Taha Siddique, owner of Siddique Travels, also said they have been receiving non-stop calls to issue a 3-month visa for their relatives. “But, we cannot issue or apply for our clients. We have told everyone to visit Amer centre or apply online on the GDRFA website,” said Siddique.

“But people believe it’s a complex process and go for a two-month visa. However, even I don’t have any idea about the complexity of the process,” added Siddique.

Documents required

According to Saeed, one must submit the following documents if planning to apply for a visa for a family member:

1. Recent passport-size coloured photograph of the relative or friend.

2. A copy of the applicant’s Emirates ID.

3. Proof of residency for the sponsored, such as details of hotel reservations

4. Proof of relationship for family member’s visit visa.

5. A copy of the relative’s valid passport.

6. Copy of the return ticket.
