What are the latest UAE visa changes and who do they affect?

The emirates is implementing a long-term vision to invest in talent from around the globe.

Rizwan Sajan, founder and chairman of property developer Danube, was given a golden visa in 2019. At the time, he also welcomed the decision to allow mid-level managers earning Dh30,000 ($8,000) per month to apply for long-term visas. Antonie Robertson / The National

Visa reforms are transforming the workplace of the UAE and creating a gateway to attract top talent from around the world.

As the Emirates prepares to celebrate its Golden Jubilee next month, the march into the next 50 years is well under way with skilled workers acting as the engine room for continued development.

Authorities have rolled out key changes to its visa system in recent years , helping to shed previous views of the county as a short-term, sunshine destination for professionals on their career journey.

Now the UAE – to diversify its economy and build for the future – is helping people to put down roots in the country as well as creating a more agile model in which to do business.

Here, The National looks at the visa rules helping to keep the UAE on the path to prosperity.

Dubai's five-year plan

Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed, the Crown Prince of Dubai, on Tuesday announced that Dubai had begun to issue multi-entry, five-year visas to employees of multinational companies based in the emirate.

Sheikh Hamdan said the policy was part of efforts to make Dubai the “best city to work and live in the world".

The visa aims to further simplify application procedures, provide ease of access to the city and extend the duration of stay of international visitors.

“The five-year multi-entry visa is especially beneficial to employees of foreign-owned firms as it enables them to participate in events, conferences, training courses, exhibitions and similar activities hosted in Dubai by these companies,” Dubai Media Office reported.

The new visa has been introduced by the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs in partnership with Dubai’s Department of Economy and Tourism.

It allows employees of multinational companies to visit and stay in the UAE for 90 days, with the option of extending this period for another 90 days.

It is just the latest in a series of key changes to visa protocols in the Emirates.

A golden vision for the future

The government took a significant step towards changing life in the UAE when introducing the golden visa .

The new long-term residency scheme was announced by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President and Ruler of Dubai, in May, 2019.

The 10-year renewable visa – which is also given to the family of the recipient – is aimed at investors, entrepreneurs, chief executives, scientists, frontline workers and outstanding students.

Wealthy investors, entrepreneurs and company owners are sought after. Officials hope they will set down roots, invest in property and make the country their long-term home.

But the wide range of 10 visa types may benefit many residents and people who are looking to make the country home.

There are several visa types that are aimed at these groups, including Golden Visas, which were first approved in late 2020. In the first year, 44,000 visas were issued in Dubai alone.

Thousands of people have already received the visa as part of a plan to retain expertise and encourage more skilled professionals to set up home in the country.

In early 2021, frontline doctors were urged to apply for golden visas in recognition of their significant contribution to health care in the country, particularly during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The UAE also set out a scheme to provide 100,000 golden visas to the best computer programming talent, at home and abroad.

Green is go

The UAE announced the introduction of a ' green visa ' in September aimed at business owners, investors and entrepreneurs, which will will offer expanded benefits for sponsoring family members.

It is to cater for people who have their own businesses and are not working for, or sponsored by, an employer.

SME owners and high-performing students will also be eligible under the scheme, unveiled as part of the UAE's 50 projects and initiatives to boost long-term development.

To be eligible, an applicant requires a monthly salary of Dh15,000 along with a bachelor's degree in certain skilled fields, including science, law, education, culture or social sciences, among others.

Someone who currently holds a two or three-year trade licence for freelance work may find this option attractive, but the costs have not yet been set out.

A Green Visa holder can sponsor relatives for residency for five years. Previously, this was typically allowed for two years.

Dr Thani Al Zeyoudi, Minister of State for Foreign Trade, said the new visa was aimed at the "self-dependent" investor who needed to sponsor family members.

"He's not going to be attached to companies. He's going to sponsor his parents, sponsor his children up to 25 – instead of 18 years old, like nowadays," he told The National .

Plan allows teens to enter workplace

Dr Al Zeyoudi, when announcing the green visa, also set out plans to allow children over the age of 15 to work for the first time.

A temporary work permit would allow them to secure a part-time job and get a taste for the workplace, without interrupting their studies.

The decision could be hugely significant and bring about a culture of part-time and temporary work.

"Anyone who's living here, who's above 15 years old, can apply for a temporary job," Dr Al Zeyoudi said.

A remote revolution

The rise of the pandemic may have made the world seem smaller for a time, as borders closed and air travel was grounded. Yet it led to the emergence of remote working and opened up the opportunity of carrying out your duties far away from the office – even in a different country from your employer.

In March, the UAE announced the introduction of a residence permit for remote workers.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, said the residency permit meant that "any employee anywhere in the world can reside in the UAE to practise work remotely even if the company is not present in the country".

The one-year visa allows people to enter the UAE from overseas under self-sponsorship and work in line with the terms and conditions issued with the visa.

Last October, Dubai announced a remote-working programme to allow professionals to live in the emirate while employed by companies overseas.

Retiring in the UAE?

The UAE approved plans in 2018 for residents aged 55 or over to secure a five-year retirement visa, if they met certain requirements.

The UAE Cabinet announced further details of the criteria earlier this month.

Under the new conditions approved by the Cabinet, non-citizens with at least one property worth Dh1 million ($272,300), or a bank deposit of no less than Dh1m, or an active annual income of at least Dh180,000, are eligible to apply for the visa.

"Today, we also approved the conditions for granting residency to retired foreigners. Retirees can continue their stay with us in the UAE. We welcome everyone in our country," Sheikh Mohammed said.

The UAE Today

The latest news and analysis from the Emirates

Do I Need a Dubai Tourist Visa? 2024 Update

On this page, we detail everything you need to know about tourist visas for Dubai.

First up – it’s important to note what passport you are holding and, therefore, which visa rules apply to you.

Who needs to apply for a Tourist Visa?

Tourist Visas for Dubai and the UAE apply to anyone NOT eligible for a visa on arrival.  There are two categories of Visa on Arrival – check these first!

If your country of citizenship is not listed below, 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
• Visa services from Fly Dubai
• Visa services from Air Arabia

What Are UAE Transit Visas?

• A 48-hour Transit Visa is applicable for a single entry into the country between 8 to 48 hours and costs AED 37
• A 96-hour Transit Visa is applicable for a single entry into the country between 8 to 96 hours and costs AED 206

If your flight layover is between 2 to 8 hours and you are not eligible for a visa on arrival, then you will not be able to leave the airport. See this guide to things to do in DXB during a layover .

Single and Double Entry UAE Tourist Visas

• A 30-day single-entry visa costs 510 AED for 30 days.
• A 30-day multiple-entry visa costs 610 AED for 30 days.

Both of these may be extended twice for 30 days (so a maximum of 90 days) at 960 AED per extension.

• A long-term single-entry visa costs 830 AED for 60 days.
• A long-term multiple-entry visa costs 1560 AED for 60 days

Visa-Free Entry to the UAE

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

Countries eligible for 30-Day Visa on Arrival in Dubai

There are 20 countries that are currently eligible for a FREE 30-day visit visa on arrival to the UAE; these are:

• New Zealand
• United Kingdom
• United States of America
• Vatican City

A visit visa for these countries lasts for 30 days, multi-entry, and can be renewed twice, with a 10-day grace period (i.e. you won’t be fined for overstaying your visa until Day 40).  If you overstay a visit visa the fine is 200 AED the first day, plus 100 AED per additional day – see more below on overstays.

Countries Eligible for 90-day Visa on Arrival

There are 40+ countries that are currently eligible for a FREE 90-day visit visa on arrival to the UAE, these are:

• Czech Republic
• El Salvador
• Liechtenstein
• Netherlands
• Russian Federation
• Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
• Solomon Islands
• South Korea
• Switzerland

Mexico citizens are eligible for 180 days.

India Citizens

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.

Dubai Tourist Visa Extension

If your 30-day Dubai tourist visa has expired, you have two options:

• Leave the country before your 10-day grace period expires (ie, by day 39)
• Apply to Immigration and pay a fee to have your visit Visa extended. You can only extend a 30-day Visa for a maximum of 60 days (ie two paid extensions).

What is a Visa Run?

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

Most commonly, this is done on the UAE’s border with Oman.  We have a detailed guide here on how border runs from Dubai works.

Accidental overstays in the UAE

It’s important to note that if you leave the country during the first 30 days, your visa will not renew upon re-entry. It’s a 30-day multi-entry Visa.  If you are travelling through Dubai, let’s say onward to Europe then have a stopover in Dubai again, be very careful if that second stop sees you cross over from 30 days to 40 days.

E.g., You arrive in Dubai on 1 September, stay for a few days, then fly on to Europe. You return to the UAE on 28 September.  You then spend two weeks in Dubai and fly out again on 12 October.

Even though you only stayed in Dubai for just over two weeks, your original 30-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.

Before leaving the UAE, you will need to pay the daily fine for your overstay at the airport.

Road trip to Oman?

A good way to avoid this can, of course, be to include a trip to Oman with your Dubai trip!  Musandam is our favourite location for an overnight trip – not only an amazing experience but also one where you can avoid any issues with overstaying your visa and receiving a fine by exiting the country between day 30 and day 39.

There are a few small costs involved. Other than transportation, you have to pay an exit fee to the UAE (35 AED), and a tourist Visa entry fee to Oman , currently 5OR for a 10-day visit visa.  Regarding re-entering the UAE, there are no charges on the Omani or UAE side; just stamping your passports.

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

Comprehensive Dubai Visa Process Updates According to the Latest Guidelines

Dubai, the city of Gold, is a favorite among many travelers all over the world. It is famous for its sky-piercing towers and luxury shops, a true haven for shoppers. The attractive global center has skyrocketed in fame over the years, resulting in many people wanting to visit it and explore its beauty.

In the midst of the engineering marvels of Dubai is the Burj Khalifa, otherwise known as the world’s tallest building. With its captivating facade, it is certainly the highlight of the city. But it’s not just the Burj that makes tourists want to visit Dubai. There are so many landmarks mixed with the old and the new, such as the Burj Al Arab that seems to be suspended above the Gulf and rest of Dubai’s high-rise buildings. They are proof of the architectural wonders of Dubai’s genius.

Yet in the middle of the glam that Dubai is known for, its cultural heritage is still reminiscent of the souks, museums, and food. For this reason, many tourists have fallen in love with the city’s combination of modern and traditional, which makes people crave it more and soak up the shade of its culture.

However, Dubai recently changed its views of its Dubai visit visa rules. Not many people are aware of this update, but Dubai has taken off its 10-day grace period once the visit visa expires. So today, we’ll tackle this new change, and we’ll give some insight on how this update will impact the future of Dubai’s tourism, especially those looking forward to getting a Dubai visa for long term stay .

Understand the key aspects of the Dubai visa application process, including your Dubai visa fees

Before we talk about the removal of the 10-day grace period, let’s quickly discuss the Dubai visa application process. This has been a well-organized process for years, and in the process, visitors are required to pass their visa application via the authorized channels. This can be done through a local sponsor or an authorized travel agency, provided  prospective visitor is eligible for entry after they have successfully submitted the required paperwork and paid the Dubai visa fees .

Saying Goodbye to the 10-Day Grace Period

With recent developments all over the world, countries like Dubai have been adjusting their rules and regulations in terms to allow visitors with a huge focus on security. To keep up with the changes, Dubai is working to strengthen its immigration control structure. This is why removing the 10-day grace period is the beginning of a highly structured and compliant visa system, and this is done to make sure that all tourists follow the application guidelines and rules.

This decision wasn’t made in a day and required a lot of preparation as it was part of a broader plan for Dubai’s progress. The city is always working towards the frontline of innovation; it continually updates its policies to make sure it keeps up with its high-powered global identity and ambitions. Hence, the elimination of the grace period is anchored to a deeper mission – and that is to improve Dubai’s immigration management and streamline its rules and regulations.

In the past, tourists were allowed ten days to finish their affairs after their visit visa expired without any additional fees. This granted extra time for visitors to work on unforeseen delays in their business or travel events.

While this change may require a shift in the preparation and mentality of future travelers to the city, Dubai remains committed to allowing visitors to get more experience than usual. The removal of the grace period is not to discourage tourists from visiting Dubai but to give them a different sense while traveling, to be aware and be more prepared prior to planning their trips to the great city of gold.

Embracing the Effect

With better rules set by Dubai’s immigration, the removal of the 10-day grace period now makes future visitors aware and careful with how they proceed with their Dubai visa application. It is highly important for travelers to now carefully plan their travel itinerary, and ensure that everything they have planned to do in the city is taken care of within the expected travel period.

Here’s what you need to know:

Plan accordingly

Long-term travelers to the city should now be more careful in putting together the requirements, like the required paperwork, as well as planning their travel itineraries. They must also complete bookings at the place where they’ll be staying prior to their expected arrival date. By doing these, visitors can ensure that they’ll be able to conclude everything in their itinerary and not worry about extending.

Adherence to immigration laws

Travelers are required to follow complete compliance throughout their approved visa visit period. Overstaying in Dubai can result in penalties and, worse, possible non-entry to the city in the future or immediate deportation.

Contingency plan

Without the safety net of the 10-day grace period, having a contingency plan is now crucial. This is why we recommend that travelers carefully plan their departure date, making sure that it coincides with the date on which their visit visa expires, giving them enough time to finish up everything listed on their itinerary.

Communicate with the immigration officers

If any unanticipated situations happen that may result in a traveler needing to extend a few more days in the city, we advise that they get in touch with the authorities right away. This gives the immigration officers a heads-up on what happened and allows them to know the reason(s) behind your extension, as well as minimize possible issues with them.

Expert advice

Get tips from the experts and immigration authorities who know Dubai’s visa policies like the back of their hands. They can provide important information and help with regard to the changes to their visa rules and regulations.

Dubai visa processing timeline

The average processing timeline for a Dubai visit visa once the Dubai visa fees have been paid is 3-4 working days. Your processing timeline can also vary

Dubai remains one of the world’s top global destinations, and its continuous architectural innovations are inviting more travelers to visit it. Despite the newest change in their visit visa requirements, most especially the removal of the 10-day extension, this actually signals a new beginning for the city’s development. With this recent shift, the foundation of traveling has shaken but for good, allowing visitors awareness, careful planning, strict compliance, and a meaningful partnership with Dubai’s immigration authorities.

Understanding the technicalities of the new rules is important for future visitors, particularly those planning to get their Dubai visit visa for an extended period. However, these changes will not hamper any plans to explore the wonders of the city, as this only means a greater approach for visitors to plan ahead of time with unwavering determination as they will now scrupulously create their itineraries within the limited period of their approved visit visa.
