A UAE visit visa or tourist visa is a short-stay ICP entry permit for 30, 60 or 90 days, available as single or multiple entry. Tasreea manages 30, 60 and 90-day single and multiple-entry visas, the 5-year multiple-entry option, the jobseeker visa, the GCC resident eVisa and 48/96-hour transit visas from Abu Dhabi. From 11 February 2026, tourist and visit visas have no grace period and overstaying costs AED 50 per day, so extensions must be filed before expiry.
The right visa depends on how long you want to stay, how many times you will enter, your nationality and whether you have a UAE host. These are the figures to check before you book a flight.
Choose by length of stay and number of entries. Tasreea confirms the full package cost in writing before payment, including ICP fees and any refundable guarantee.
A visa price is not only the number of days. ICP fees vary by entry type and duration, while the refundable financial guarantee sits on top for many nationalities.
You will receive a line-by-line quote before any payment. No hidden "government charge" added after the invoice.
These are the updates most likely to affect a visitor's dates, budget or eligibility. Check them before booking a non-refundable flight.
Since 11 February 2026, prepaid tourist and visit visas have no grace period. The AED 50-per-day overstay clock can start on the first day after expiry, so an extension must be filed before the visa lapses.
Eligible visitors can hold a five-year tourist visa with multiple entries, staying 90 days per visit and 180 days per year. The file requires a USD 4,000 bank balance, 180-day insurance and a refundable AED 3,000 guarantee.
Professionals in MOHRE skill levels 1–3, or recent graduates of a top-500 university, can apply without a UAE host. It is a single-entry job-hunting visa, not a work permit.
GCC residents of any nationality can apply for a 30-day single-entry UAE eVisa, usually with a GCC residence permit valid for at least six months. Entry must be through an approved UAE port.
Travellers with an onward ticket and confirmed accommodation can leave the airport on a short transit visa. It is designed for a stopover, not for a holiday or work.
Visit visas can be extended in 30-day blocks with ICP approval, but continuous stay is generally capped at 120 days. Overstaying while an extension is pending still creates daily fines.
Rule of thumb: a tourist visa is for visiting, not working. If you plan to earn, volunteer in a paid role or provide services, speak to us about an employment or freelance route before you travel. Immigration status cannot be fixed by "just staying a few extra days" in 2026.
Match the visa to the reason for travel, not just the cheapest headline price. If two options fit, we explain the trade-off before you pay.
Start with a 30-day single-entry visa. It is the lowest-cost option and enough for a typical two-to-four-week holiday. Choose 60 days only if the dates genuinely need it.
A 60-day or 90-day single-entry visa is usually the better fit for parents visiting children in the UAE, especially when the trip is built around school holidays or medical follow-up.
A multiple-entry 30, 60 or 90-day visa avoids a fresh application for every trip. Check the visa validity window and the permitted stay per entry before booking the return leg.
The 5-year multiple-entry tourist visa is built for repeat visits. It needs a USD 4,000 bank balance, 180-day health insurance, ICP approval and the refundable AED 3,000 guarantee.
The GCC resident eVisa is a 30-day single-entry route for residents of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman. The GCC residence permit must normally have at least six months' validity.
The jobseeker visa gives 60, 90 or 120 days to attend interviews without a UAE sponsor. You cannot start paid work until a UAE work permit is issued.
A 48-hour or 96-hour transit visa lets you leave the airport with an onward ticket and confirmed accommodation. It is not a substitute for a tourist visa on a longer holiday.
Not sure whether a 30-day or 60-day visa is enough? Send your dates and nationality on WhatsApp. We will tell you the cheapest option that covers the whole trip without an overstay.
Ask on WhatsAppRequirements vary by nationality and visa type, but this is the core file. Tasreea sends a tailored checklist after the first conversation.
Most single and multiple-entry applications
Family applications: each passport holder needs a separate visa, even infants. Tasreea can file a family group together, but every traveller's documents are checked individually. A birth certificate and, where relevant, a consent letter are usually required for children.
A managed application removes the form-filling guesswork. ICP still makes the decision, and no consultant can guarantee approval.
Send your nationality, travel date, length of stay and purpose of travel by WhatsApp or the form. Tasreea confirms whether a 30, 60 or 90-day single-entry, multiple-entry, 5-year, jobseeker, GCC-resident or transit visa fits your trip.
Provide a passport valid for at least six months, a recent photograph, travel dates, accommodation and any host or sponsor documents. The team checks the file line by line before the ICP application is created.
We complete the application, upload the documents and coordinate the financial guarantee, insurance or any additional requirement. You receive the fee breakdown in writing before payment.
Most complete applications are decided in 24–72 working hours. Some nationalities or files take longer. The approved e-visa is sent by email or WhatsApp, with a note on the entry window and permitted stay.
Enter through an approved UAE port and leave before the visa expires. Tasreea notes your extension and overstay dates so you can apply for an extension before the deadline rather than paying AED 50 per day.
Filing directly is possible. This is an honest comparison of what changes when a managed PRO team handles the file.
The 2026 rules are stricter on expiry dates. These are the deadlines to put in your calendar.
Extensions are usually granted in 30-day blocks, subject to ICP approval and a fee. Apply before the current visa expires. Continuous stay is generally limited to 120 days, so a third or fourth extension is not automatic.
If you are already close to expiry, WhatsApp us the visa page and today's date. We will tell you whether an extension, exit and re-entry, or a different route is realistic before you pay a government fee.
The tourist/visit visa overstay fine is AED 50 per day. Since 11 February 2026, prepaid tourist and visit visas have no grace period, so the fine can run from the first day after expiry.
Fines can be collected at the airport, and a serious overstay can affect future UAE entry. If you have already overstayed, do not wait for the airport: contact us so the status can be reviewed and regularised where possible.
5-year visa holders: the 90-days-per-visit and 180-days-per-year limits still apply. Keeping a simple travel log makes it easy to prove your days in the UAE and avoid breaching the annual cap.
