The Ultimate Guide to Visit Dubai With UAE’s 5-Year Tourist Visa in 2023

September 7, 2022 March 10, 2023

Dubai’s journey from a fishing village to a modern-day metropolis is a tale of dramatic transformation. It has one foot firmly rooted in tradition while the other leaping into the future . Shopping malls abound with luxury brands featured alongside traditional abaya stores and prayer rooms. Al Seef along Deira Creek showcases the charms of old-time Dubai while the Museum of the Future takes you on a forward-looking journey powered by technology. With so much to see, it can be a challenge to squeeze everything into a single trip. Add to that the events that take place year-round in Dubai like the Cricket Asia Cup going on at present or the World Expo that wrapped up earlier this year. That’s where a long-term, multiple-entry tourism visa can help you. UAE’s recent offering of a five-year multiple-entry tourist visa lets you visit Dubai and all of UAE over and over again to watch this transformation as it happens. This post is the complete guide on how to apply for this visa and add Dubai to your repertoire of vacation destinations.

Visas are a necessary and important part of travel for most visitors around the globe. Travelers with Western passports enjoy visa-free entry or on-arrival visas to several countries. But most of us do not have the luxury of just packing up and leaving for a foreign land. We need to plan in advance, fill out the appropriate paperwork and give ourselves enough time to receive a visa before visiting the places of our dreams.

This is why I’m always excited whenever a country streamlines and simplifies its visa process allowing visitors to not just travel once but become repeat travelers. In March last year, UAE announced a new 5-year multiple entry tourist visa that lets visitors stay for three months at a time with an extension of an additional three months .

I recently applied for this visa for my family members and they were promptly approved. Everything here is based on my personal experience and by directly contacting the ICP customer service for clarifications. This was definitely one of the easier visa applications. But this functionality is relatively new on the Smart Services website and I did run into a few software glitches along the way. The engineer in me is always looking at software systems with that debugging lens and I was able to work around those bugs. I’ll make a note of all of this in the post so you can learn from my experience . I’m sure these issues will be resolved with time and all travelers will have a smoother digital application experience.

Who is eligible for the five-year multiple-entry tourist visas to UAE?

Anyone who wishes to visit Dubai, or UAE in general, on self-sponsored trips with at least 4,000 USD (or its equivalent in foreign currency) in their bank account for the last 6 months is eligible to apply for this visa. This visa is different from the Golden Visa which is for investors and the remote work visa which is for workers employed in other countries. This visa is purely for tourism purposes and meeting family and friends. The recipient of this visa can stay in the country for a continuous period not exceeding 90 days and may be expanded to a period not exceeding 180 days during the year.

What is the cost of the 5-year multiple-entry tourist visa?

The total cost of the visa application is 650 AED which includes the request fees (100 AED), issue fees (500 AED), e-services fees (28 AED), and ICA fees (22 AED). Visa fees are subject to changes at any time, so check the latest cost on the Smart Services website . Issuance fees are refunded if the application is rejected by the Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship.

You will also incur additional costs for the 6-month health insurance that is one of the required documents for the visa application. These costs vary by company and plan. Plan on setting aside another couple of hundred AED for this purpose. For example, the Ziyarah insurance from Daman is priced at 220 AED plus 5% VAT.

What is the application process for this visa?

The visa application process is very straightforward. There are two main categories for submitting the five-year multiple entry visa application. The first one is for individuals applying alone and the second one is for families applying together.

Visa – Multiple Entry – Long-term Tourism (5 Years) For All Nationalities – Issue New Visa
Visa – Multiple Entry – Long-term Tourism (5 Years) For All Nationalities – Issue For Family Group

Here are the main steps:

Fill out a short form on the ICP Smart Services website . This form includes personal details, passport details, address, and contact details within the UAE plus address and contact details where you reside outside UAE.
Attach the required four documents outlined in the next section and any optional documents based on your citizenship or visit.
If you are applying for the family group , you will fill out the form and attach the documents for additional applicants.
Pay the fees online using a credit card. The fee of 650 AED is per person so if you are filing under the family group, you will be paying the total amount depending on the number of applicants.
Check your application status regularly on the website and watch out for any emails regarding missing/additional documentation.
Once approved, download the visa from the Smart Services website or receive an email with the visa attached.

What are the documents required for the visa application?

The following documents are required for the application. The allowed file types are .jpeg, .jpg, .pdf and the maximum size of each attachment is 2MB .

One colored personal square photo matching the ICAO standards.
Each attachment should be less than 2MB so you should stick to scanning just the main pages of your passport plus any pages with other visas and entry/exit stamps.
I went with the Ziyarah insurance from Daman since it fits the bill perfectly and provided insurance for 190 days for multi trips.
Every page of this statement needs to be stamped by the bank. Do not attach any extra pages like the cover page of a passbook since it may flag your documentation as incomplete and the application will be returned to you for resubmission.
Two-way travel tickets (in & out).
If you are staying with family or friends, this can be the rental lease agreement or mortgage papers of their residence.

Other optional documents for certain citizenships

Iraqi Population Card for the beneficiary
The Iranian Censenamah\ID card for the beneficiary
Pakistani ID card for the beneficiary

Please check the documentation requirements at the time of your application for any changes to this list. You can check this by clicking the Service Card button for this visa on the Smart Services dashboard and opening the Supporting Documents Required section.

What is the tour guide attachment for a UAE visa?

The tour guide attachment is not required for the 5-year multiple-entry UAE tourist visa. However, it is a confusing attachment required when applying for the 30-day and other tourist visas. So I wanted to talk about it while we are on the topic of documentation.

This section doesn’t mean that you need to hire a tour guide. It only means that you need to provide more details about your visit and itinerary.

You can simply attach the roundtrip flight tickets in this section. In addition to the tickets, you can also attach hotel booking confirmations and tickets to any attractions that you have booked in advance.

Can I fill out the application partially and return to submit it at a later time?

Yes , you can absolutely return to complete and submit an application at a later time. You can fill out just the form in the first sitting and come back to retrieve the application and attach the documents or make payments. However, this functionality is not very visibly displayed on the website.

The application is saved only after the form is filled. So you will need to fill in all the mandatory fields in Step 1 before you can pause the application. Once the form is filled, look at the gray-colored leaderboard at the top of the page which shows the type of visa at the top of the page. Right below that in small letters is the Reference Number. Save this number on your computer or online since it is the key to reaccessing your visa application from where you left it off.

When you wish to return to your application, go to the Smart Services dashboard and click the Application Tracking button. Use the reference number saved previously in the input field of Request Number in this step along with your email address. The system should pull up your application. Click the blue edit button next to your application which will take you back to exactly where you left it off.

This is such a helpful feature but unfortunately not displayed clearly on the website. It appears as if you need to start from the beginning by filling the form every time if you haven’t saved the Reference Number and found this workflow.

How long does it take to receive the visa?

The ICP does not provide any certain timeline for deciding on the visa application. Based on my personal experience and reading other news reports, ICP is very prompt and efficient in its processing. You can expect to hear back from them in 5 to 7 business days. They may contact you for any incomplete or missing documentation and it depends on when you learn about this and how long you take to resubmit the application.

Here’s where things get a bit tricky though. During the time of my family’s applications in July 2022, the email notifications from ICP were not working. This meant that we didn’t receive any email informing us that we needed to make a minor change to the bank statements. It was only after reaching out to their customer service and manually checking the application status online, did we learn that the application was back on our plate for update and resubmission.

Keep in mind that your application may be canceled if you do not respond to the request for updated documentation in a timely manner. Here are a couple of scenarios where this can happen:

Applications are canceled electronically after the lapse of 30 days if the application is returned due to missing data or non-completion of the required documents.
The application will be canceled if it is returned 3 times due to missing data or non-completion of the required documents.

How can I check the status of my visa application?

Click on the Application Tracking button of the appropriate Visa category card on the Smart Services dashboard. You will need the request number and email address to pull up the record.

The most important input here is the receipt number . However, you will notice that the confirmation page displays a different receipt number (with a couple of extra zeros in the beginning) than what you received in the email after submitting your application. The receipt number that you need to check the status and download the visa needs expert fine-tuning to match the receipt numbers in the ICP software system. Follow the steps below to avoid any grief with mismatched receipt numbers.

Start with the receipt number in your email and not the one on the confirmation page – The receipt number on the confirmation page is padded with two extra zeros in the beginning. Make sure you begin with the number you receive in the email after you apply. It should start with a 01 and includes only numbers. For example 01234567898765432123456.
There should be only one zero at beginning of the receipt number – This is just to double-check the point above in case the receipt number in the email also gets padded with extra zeros in the future.
Prefix your receipt number with an extra 01 – Repeat the 01 at the beginning. If you use the receipt number without this, the button to download the visa will not work. You will see a No Data Found error notification on your page. The ICP system is adding an extra 01 at the beginning of the numbers internally so you need to do the same to get the system to work. The number used in the example here will change to 0101234567898765432123456.
The receipt number is ready for use to check the application status!

Can I make edits to my visa application after submission?

No, you cannot make edits to the visa application unless ICP returns the application to you for an update. ICP will move the application back to you if any of your documents are missing or incomplete. At that time, you will be able to retrieve the application using your request number and email address and edit it to change the uploaded documents or add new ones.

What are some things to keep in mind for a smooth visa process?

As I mentioned earlier, there are some issues in the software system that may delay the visa process. I hope these issues are resolved soon. Until then, follow the guidelines below to ensure you’re on track to receive the visa.

Check your visa status manually – It’s great if you receive the ICP email notifications but do not wait for ICP in case the email notifications are not working. I received the first email after submitting the application but no further emails. Keep checking your visa status every day using the application tracking functionality mentioned above.
Massage the request number – Make sure you are using the correct request number. Follow the steps provided in the application tracking Q&A above – This is necessary to correctly retrieve the status of your application and download the visa until ICP fixes the bugs in their system.

How do I get the visa once it is approved?

As per the process, you should receive a visa approval via email . At the time of our applications, this functionality wasn’t working. So, we never received any emails regarding requests for updated documents or the final approval.

Hopefully, this functionality would have since then been updated but I would highly encourage you to check the status manually. Once your record is pulled up, click on the button with three horizontal lines at the top right. Then click on Print Electronic Visa or Print Electronic Visa with Rules options from the drop-down.

Take a printout of this visa and you are all set to visit Dubai!

What are other UAE tourist visa options?

You may have other visa options that are better suited depending on the frequency of visits and country of citizenship. For example, Indian nationals residing in USA, UK, and EU countries are eligible for receiving a 14-day on-arrival visa . You can check the eligibility and visa requirements on the Visit Dubai website and choose the best option for you.

I’d like to turn it over to you for questions about the 5-year multiple-entry tourist visa to visit Dubai and UAE. I know posts about visa applications aren’t as glamorous as destination guides and listicles of the best things to do. But they are a necessary part of our travel planning. I hope my experience and the way I worked around the issues will help you have a hassle-free visa application .

There’s a good reason why Dubai is named Tripadvisor’s Top Destination for 2022 . Applying for a long-term tourist visa like this allows you to take advantage of the wide array of entertainment and sightseeing opportunities that take place in the UAE every year.

What New Laws have been made for Dubai Tourist visa or Visit visas in 2023?

The UAE is changing its immigration policies, making it easier to obtain a Dubai tourist visa. These changes have come into effect from Monday, 3 October 2022. One of the major improvements is a Dubai multiple-entry visa that does not need a sponsor. This allows tourists to stay for up to 90 days on each visit, which is renewable. However, in this blog, we are going to discuss the new rules and regulations imposed by the Dubai government for a Dubai visit visa and visit visa. Let us have a look:

Four Types of Tourist Visa

There are four varieties of visitor visas:

For a short-term, single-entry Dubai tourist visa price will be 250 AED. This visa is valid for 30 days from the date of entrance and it is not extendable.

The cost is 690 AED for a short-term, multiple-entry tourist visa that is valid for 30 days from the date of entrance and it is not extendable.

A long-term, single-entry tourist visa costs 600 AED. It is valid for 90 days from the date of admission and it is not extendable.

The cost is 1740 AED for a long-term, multiple-entry tourist visa. That is valid for 90 days from the date of entrance and it is not extendable.

Please be aware that the overstaying fees are 200 AED for an outpass in addition to 100 AED every day. If the overstaying is even less than 30 days, customers can pay at the GDRFA-D HQ or the DUBAI airports when they leave the country. If it has been longer than 30 days, you can only pay at the GDRFA-D HQ.

Other Visas:

Multi-entry tourist visa.

A Dubai multiple-entry visa is a type of travel permit that allows a person to enter a certain country more than once within its validity period. It is in contrast to a single-entry visa, which only permits a person to enter a particular country once and then expires.

Dubai tourist visa is issued for tourists and business travelers. They can use it for up to five years, and each visit must last at least 90 days.

In order to get a multiple-entry visa, you should provide the following documents:

Your passport copy
Confirmed ticket for your stay in the UAE
You may also need to provide a letter of invitation from a hotel or an airline that will be hosting you during your trip.

You can apply for a five-year multiple-entry tourist visa online through the ICA or GDRFA website. You can either upload the required documents yourself or hire an agency to do it for you.

Business Entry Visa

Dubai has a booming business sector, which attracts hundreds and thousands of international business delegates from different countries. However, it is essential to have a valid Dubai visa before visiting the country.

One of the most popular visas is the Business Entry Visa . It is available to those who are working for qualifying companies or organizations in Dubai.

It allows foreign nationals to visit the UAE for a period of 5 years to perform business activities. They can stay up to 90 days at a time and enter or exit the UAE as many times as they wish within that period.

This type of visa is suitable for business travelers. Especially, who need to travel frequently and stay no longer than a few months at a time. It is also a good option for business owners who plan to move to the UAE in the future and have a local sponsor.

In addition, the Business ETA is available for foreign nationals who plan to study in Dubai. As long as they complete their studies in fewer than three months. It is also available for business owners and employees who plan to live in Dubai as residents.

Family Entry Visa

Countless expatriates are currently living in Dubai, and they have a need to bring their family members to the UAE. To fulfill this need, the UAE government has introduced a family entry visa. That permits foreign nationals to enter the country and sponsor their families.

The new rules for the family visa have come into effect on 3 October 2022. The license will be substantial for a time of 60 days. In addition, it is renewable for a similar amount of time as well. However, the Dubai visit visa price or tourist visa price is almost similar. But this varies from country to country.

In order to apply for a family visa, ex-pats need to follow the right channels. Moreover, submit their documents as per requirements. These may include an embassy, consulate, or VHS global office.

Aside from the required documents, the applicant must also undergo a medical examination as per the guidelines of the UAE government. The medical must be done from an approved hospital. In the case of minors, they must also submit a notarized letter from the parents or legal guardian.

In some cases, Indian citizens may have family members residing in the UAE who can sponsor their visit. If you have a family member or close relative who is a UAE resident , you may need to obtain a sponsorship letter from them. This letter serves as a formal invitation and demonstrates that the host is willing to take financial responsibility for the visitor during their stay.

UAE Host's ID Card or Residence Visa

When applying for a Dubai tourist visa , it is essential to provide a valid copy of the UAE host's ID card or residence visa. This document establishes the credibility of the host and confirms their legal status in the UAE. The host must be financially capable of supporting both themselves and their guests during the visit.

Special Considerations for Minors

According to a Cabinet resolution passed in July 2018, children under the age of 18 accompanying adults can obtain a free visa for their visit. This special provision applies specifically to visits occurring between July 15 and September 15 each year. However, it is important to note that females under 18 years old cannot apply for this visa unless they are traveling with their parents.

Understanding the eligibility criteria for a Dubai tourist visa is essential for Indian citizens planning a visit to the UAE . By ensuring that all the necessary requirements are met, such as having a valid passport, financial capability, return flight ticket, and any additional documents, applicants can increase their chances of a successful visa application.

Dubai Visa Photo Size and Specifications in 2024

The Dubai Visa Photo Size in 2024 is 4.3 cm in width and 5.5 cm in height.

This article will provide a comprehensive overview of the Dubai visa photo size and other essential specifications for 2024.

Size and Dimension

The size of the visa photo for Dubai in 2024 is 4.3 cm in width and 5.5 cm in height.

This is slightly different from the standard passport photo size in many countries, so it is crucial to be aware of this difference when having your photo taken or when adjusting an existing photo.

The background of the Dubai visa photo should be plain white. This consistent background ensures that the applicant’s features are clear and unobstructed.

There should be no shadows or patterns in the background, and the entire face should be easily distinguishable against this backdrop.

Face and Expression

The face should occupy 70-80% of the height of the photo, which translates to approximately 31-34 mm from chin to crown.

A neutral expression is required, meaning the mouth should be closed, and there should be no smiling, frowning, or raised eyebrows.

Both eyes should be open and should be on a horizontal level.

The head should be centered and square to the camera, resulting in the eyes being positioned between 26-30 mm from the bottom of the photo.

Eyeglasses and Headwear

Glasses are allowed in the visa photo as long as they do not cause reflections or obscure the eyes. Tinted glasses and sunglasses are not acceptable.

For religious or medical reasons, headwear might be permitted. However, the facial features from the bottom of the chin to the top of the forehead and from ear to ear should be clearly visible, and the headwear should not cast shadows on the face.

Quality and Other Considerations

The photo must be of high quality, with no underexposure or overexposure.
The skin tone should be reproduced naturally.
The photo should not have any creases or marks. Digital or scanned photos should have a resolution of at least 600 dpi, especially if taken with a digital camera.
The lighting should be uniform, with no shadows or reflections on the face, red-eye, or flash reflections.
The photo should reflect the applicant’s normal appearance. If there are significant changes in your appearance after the photo is taken, such as a new facial tattoo or significant scarring, a new photo that reflects this change should be used.

Recentness of the Photo

The photo must be recent, ideally taken within the last six months. This ensures that the picture reflects the current appearance of the applicant. Using outdated photos can result in the visa application being rejected.

Children and Infants

The requirements for children and infants are generally the same as for adults.

However, considering the challenges of getting a neutral expression or a perfect pose from young children, slight deviations might be permissible.

The child’s face should be visible and unobstructed, meaning no pacifiers, toys, or hands of parents should be in the photo.

4 Common Mistakes to Avoid

When applying for a Dubai visa, ensuring that your photo meets the required specifications is paramount. However, several common mistakes often lead to visa application delays or rejections. To aid in a seamless application process:

Background : One frequent error is having a cluttered or colored background. Ensure that your background is white and free from shadows or patterns.
Facial Expression : A neutral facial expression is needed for visa photos. Smiling, frowning, or any exaggerated expressions can render the photo unacceptable.
Accessories : Glasses with tinted lenses, hats, and other accessories that obscure the face are often reasons for photo rejection. If you wear glasses, ensure they don’t produce a glare or cover the eyes.
Size and Orientation : The photo must fit the defined measurements. Cropping an old photo might result in an image that doesn’t fit the size specifications or has an incorrect head size.

Digital vs. Printed Photos

In the age of technology, the preference for digital photos over printed ones is on the rise. For Dubai visa applications:

Resolution : Digital photos need to be of high resolution, typically at least 600 dpi. A blurry or pixelated image can result in rejection.
File Format : JPEG is the most commonly accepted format. Ensure your digital image is saved in this format, unless specified otherwise.
Print Quality : If you’re using a digital photo to produce a printed copy, the print quality should be high, without any visible pixels or print lines.
Storage : Digital photos should be stored and backed up properly to avoid any loss or corruption of the file.

Can I Edit My Passport Photo?

While you might be tempted to use photo editing tools to improve your visa photo, remember:

Natural Appearance : Your photo should reflect your natural appearance. Avoid using filters or editing tools that alter your skin tone or facial features.
Brightness and Contrast : Adjustments to the photo’s brightness and contrast are acceptable to ensure clarity, but over-editing should be avoided.
Cropping : While cropping to meet size requirements is permitted, make sure you adhere to the guidelines regarding head height and position.
Manipulation : Any significant digital enhancements or manipulations which alter the likeness of the applicant are not allowed.

What Are The Rejection Reasons Due to Photos?

Understanding the reasons behind photo-related visa application rejections can save applicants time and frustration:

Old Photos : Using outdated photos (typically older than six months) can lead to rejection. Ensure your photo is recent and reflects your current appearance.
Inappropriate Attire : Wearing uniforms or clothes that blend into the background can be grounds for rejection. Opt for clothes that contrast with the white background.
Incorrect Photo Size : One of the most common reasons for rejection is not adhering to the mandated photo dimensions. Double-check measurements before submission.
Damaged Photos : If submitting a printed photo, ensure it’s free from creases, smudges, or other damages.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can i take the dubai visa photo using my smartphone.

Yes, you can use a smartphone, provided the photo is high-resolution, clear, and meets all the necessary criteria. However, using a professional camera or visiting a studio is often recommended for the best results.

I wear prescription glasses. Should I remove them for the visa photo?

You can keep your prescription glasses on, but ensure they don’t produce a glare, cover the eyes, or have tinted lenses. It’s crucial that your eyes are clearly visible.

Is it okay if my baby's eyes are closed in the visa photo?

For infants or young children, the UAE authorities are more lenient about the eyes being closed or other minor discrepancies, but it’s always advisable to aim for a photo with the child’s eyes open.

Can I have a beard in my visa photo?

Yes, as long as your facial features are clearly visible and the beard reflects your usual appearance. If you’ve recently grown or shaved a beard, it might be a good idea to have a new photo taken.

Religious head coverings are allowed, provided the face from the bottom of the chin to the top of the forehead, and both edges of the face are clearly visible.

What's the best way to ensure the white background for the photo?

A plain white wall or a white sheet can serve as a background. Ensure there are no patterns or shadows. Many photo studios are equipped to provide the correct background for visa photos.

My photo was rejected last time. Can I resubmit the same photo after editing it?

If your photo was rejected due to issues that can be corrected without altering your likeness (e.g., size or background), you can edit and resubmit. However, for changes related to facial features, attire, or outdated appearance, it’s best to take a new photo.

How can I ensure my printed photo isn't pixelated?

Always use a high-resolution image for printing. If printing at home, use high-quality photo paper and a good printer. For best results, consider getting the photo printed at a professional studio.

Can I use the same photo for multiple visa applications to different countries?

Only if the photo meets the specifications for each country. Each country might have distinct requirements for visa photos, so always check the guidelines for each application.
