• Iraq - National ID Card

• Iran - National ID Card

How long it takes to get the UAE 90-day Visa

Is the processing duration longer because it is a long-term visa? No, the processing duration for 90 days visas and all other UAE visas s approximately 2 to 3 days. If you wish to apply for an express visa the processing duration is roughly 4 to 8 hours. Most travellers flying to UAE get fooled by scams so make sure to read their reviews online and double-check with the travel company that is processing your visa.

Your 90 days UAE visa can get rejected sometimes these are some of the possible reasons:

• Women under 22 who are travelling alone without being accompanied by their parents, husbands, or guardians.
• If the candidate is a professional without formal training, like a labourer, a farmer, etc.
• if the applicant's passport is handwritten, like that of Pakistan and Bangladesh nationals.
• If the applicant has a criminal history, committed fraud, or misconduct in the United Arab Emirates.
• The application form doesn't include any significant mistakes.
• The provided photo does not meet the requirements.
• Submitting a form with false information about the candidate's identity.
• The lack of necessary documentation.
• Incorrect information on the visa application form regarding the passport number or other pertinent details.
• Two applicants with similar personal information like names and dates of birth.
• A potential candidate who has already gotten a Dubai visa online but has not yet travelled there.
• A potential employee who, although having an employment visa through the relevant organization, didn't enter the country.
• A potential candidate who was once a resident of the UAE but left the country before cancelling their Dubai visa.

The ability to extend UAE visas gives job seekers, entrepreneurs, and tourists extra time to look for work, connect with clients, network, and go sightseeing. According to our comprehensive UAE visit visa extension guide , travellers who arrive for 30 days can now enjoy a 30-day visa extension and those who arrive for 90 days can change their visas without leaving the country. Travellers who have a 90-day UAE visit visa may also choose to extend it for 30 days twice or to use in-country visa services to extend their visa without leaving the country.

If you have received a job offer while visiting the UAE, it is crucial to make sure all of your paperwork is in order. This is because it is a major labour law offence in the UAE to work without having the proper work permit.

In a post on its social media pages on January 12, 2022, Dubai Public Prosecution advised people that working without the required work permits would result in stern action, which may include three months in jail as well as a fine of up to AED 10,000.

"Every foreigner who entered the country under a visit visa and wished to work in the country must obtain a permit from the competent authority. If he fails to comply, he shall be penalized in accordance with imprisonment for a period not exceeding three months and a fine not exceeding AED 10,000, or one of these two penalties, and the court shall order the violator's deportation from the state," the prosecution's notice stated."

Where can I get a work permit from?

Your work permit will be issued by the appropriate government in accordance with whether you are employed by a private, public, or free-zone enterprise. The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratization (MOHRE) is responsible for issuing all work permits for the private sector, and each free zone is home to a regulatory body that oversees employment agreements and other labour-related matters. The Federal Authority for Government Human Resources (FAHR) is responsible for managing human resources for federal ministries and agencies that are governed by Federal Decree-Law No. 11 of 2008, whereas local government bodies are responsible for administering government departments within each emirate.

It is mandatory to make sure you have a current work permit when you begin employment with a company in the UAE, regardless of whatever jurisdiction you are employed in.

Apart from 90 days visa, UAE also has 30 and 60 days visas. You can see the price list of UAE visas below and compare rates between multiple and single-entry visas.

Many travellers get confused when using a UAE multiple entry visas. The permitted stay duration starts from the date of entering and allows you to use the next 30 or 90 days with multiple entries.

While you are interested in the cost of a 90-day visa to the UAE, you also need to be aware of the length of your stay, your grace period, and the penalties for overstaying in the country.

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.

Many visitors to the UAE are applying for the three-month visit visa, with agents saying the number reaches 20 a day.

The three-month visa was discontinued during the pandemic and a 60-day visa was introduced to fill the gap. In May, the three-month leisure visa was brought back.

“Currently, there are three types of single-entry visas: 30, 60, and 90 days,” said Firoz Maliyakkal, founder and CEO of Tahira Tours and Travel LLC.

Pavan Poojari, visa consultant at Luxury Travels, listed out the categories of visitors who apply for the longer-term visa: "These are tourists who would want to spend an extended vacation in the UAE; parents and children of UAE residents; their extended family members; and visitors who would want to explore the country and then settle down for good."

Many families and travel experts believe exploring and living in the UAE for a month or two is just too short. The 90-day leisure visa, on the other hand, has come as a relief to those who wish to stay in the country for a longer period.

This has been the case with Matthew, who recently brought his parents and other family members to Dubai on a 3-month visit. “My parents lived here for a long time, and the memories of Dubai keep bringing them back. The last time they came here was on a two-month visa, and they were disheartened. However, they are happy to reside here for the next two months,” said Matthew.

Jessy, who is on a 3-month visit, is delighted to stay longer with her nephew. She has been grieving the death of a family member, and the trip to the UAE is a big help. “We got her here for a change,” said her nephew.

Eligibility

According to experts, the three-month visas cover two categories.

“One is a resident sponsoring immediate family members and friends by keeping a deposit of Dh1,000,” said Firoz, adding that a minimum salary of Dh6,000 to Dh8,000 is required.

“The second category is open to anyone through a travel agent who will be their sponsor. The requirement is just the passport copy and photos."

For the first category of visas, the cost is around Dh800 with a refundable deposit of Dh1,000. Those interested may apply through the official immigration websites. “For the second category, people can apply through their travel agent at a cost ranging from Dh1,200 to Dh1,400,” said Firoz.

Experts say that the 90-day visa has come as a boon to people who find it very difficult to exit the country for a visa extension.
