Note

For routine travel, UAE visas for tourists and travelers (wishing
to visit family) and business travelers must be arranged through
the sponsor (the hotel or package tour operator or UAE resident
or company concerned). For approval the sponsor will need the visitor’s
flight and passport details in advance. Business visas are secured
by invitation only and proof of company trading license is needed.
Types of visa and costs
Tourist and Business: £20. This cost is for UK nationals but
price is dependent on nationality. Multiple-entry visas are issued
in very special circumstances. In case of a visa being arranged
by a sponsor, the request for multiple-entry should be marked clearly
on the forms.
Validity
Tourist visas are valid for 30 days from date of entry and two months
from date of issue. It is possible to extend visas on request for
up to a maximum of 90 days at the local immigration office.
