30 Days Single Entry Emirates Visa Requirements

The document list is shorter than most expect — but quality matters more than quantity. A blurry passport scan or a photo with the wrong background is enough to delay processing by 2–3 days or cause outright rejection. 

Standard Documents (All Nationalities) 

  • Passport bio page scan — minimum 6 months validity from entry date; all corners visible, no shadows, no glare
  • Passport-sized photo — white background, recent (within 6 months), no glasses, full face visible, no headwear except for religious reasons
  • Hotel booking confirmation — must cover entire stay duration; guest name must match passport
  • Return or onward flight ticket — confirmed booking showing entry and exit from UAE within visa validity
  • Bank statement (last 3 months) — shows sufficient funds; AED 3,000–5,000 equivalent minimum is the practical threshold
  • Travel insurance — mandatory from 2024 onwards; must cover medical expenses inside the UAE 

Additional Documents for Specific Cases 

  • Visiting family or friends in UAE: Sponsor's Emirates ID copy + UAE residence visa copy
  • Self-employed / freelancers: Trade licence or business registration from home country
  • Children: Child's passport, white-background photo, birth certificate. Every child needs their own separate visa — same fees as adults. No free entry for children under a parent's visa.
  • Child travelling with one parent only: NOC from the absent parent is strongly recommended 
⚠ Name Spelling: Name mismatches between application and passport are the #1 rejection cause for South Asian applicants. Copy your name character-by-character from your passport bio page — same spelling, same spacing, same order. Do not correct apparent transliteration differences. If your passport says "Mohammd," submit "Mohammd."

30-Day Single Entry UAE Visa Cost 2026 — Full AED, USD & INR Breakdown 

The 30 days visit visa for UAE price is not one fixed number. It has two layers: a government fee and a service fee charged by whoever processes your application. The table below shows the honest, complete cost structure based on verified 2026 fee schedules. 

Visa / Fee Type Govt. Fee (AED) VAT (5%) Service Fee Total Payable
30-Day Single Entry (Standard) AED 300–350 AED 15–18 AED 135–282 AED 450–650 (~USD 122–177)

30-Day Multiple Entry (Standard) AED 500–600 AED 25–30 AED 165–220 AED 690–850 (~USD 188–231)
30-Day Multiple Entry (Express) AED 500–600 AED 25–30 AED 165–220 + AED 300 AED 780–950 (~USD 212–259)
Extension (inside UAE) AED 600 AED 30 ~AED 500 ~AED 1,130 per extension
Extension (apply from outside UAE) AED 600 AED 30 — AED 630 (~USD 172)
Overstay fine (Days 1–180) AED 50/day — — + AED 250–300 exit permit

INR equivalent (for Indian travelers): AED 450–650 total ≈ INR 10,200–14,800 at current exchange rates. Express processing adds approximately INR 7,000 on top. INR conversions fluctuate — verify at time of payment. 

Fee transparency: The official government fee for a 30-day single entry tourist visa is AED 300–350 + VAT. The service fee (AED 135–282) covers document review, submission, and follow-up. Both are shown separately above. Always request an itemised quote before paying any agency. 

Cheapest route: Apply directly through ICP Smart Services if your documents are clean and straightforward — saves AED 100–250 vs a third-party agent. If your application has any complexity (previous rejections, non-standard documents, name issues), a licensed agency's fee is worth it to avoid delays.

30 Days vs 60 Days vs 90 Days — Which Duration Is Right? 

Many people searching for a 30 days tourist visa UAE are still deciding on the right duration. The answer depends on how long you will actually stay and what you plan to spend. 

Category 30-Day Visa 60-Day Visa 90-Day Visa
Stay Duration 30 days 60 days 90 days
Total Cost (AED) AED 450–650 AED 650–800 AED 900–1,100
Cost Per Day ~AED 18/day ~AED 12/day ~AED 11/day
Extendable? Yes — up to 2 extensions Yes — up to 2 extensions Typically not extendable
Best For Holidays, family visits, short business Extended stays, remote workers Job seekers, long stays, medical
    ⚠ Key Decision Rule: If you plan to stay 30 days or fewer, the 30-day visa is correct. If you know you will stay 35–45 days, apply for the 60-day visa upfront — extending a 30-day visa inside the UAE costs approximately AED 1,130 per extension, which is more expensive than upgrading the duration at the start.

How to Extend Your 30-Day Single Entry UAE Tourist Visa 

A 30-day single entry UAE tourist visa can be extended up to two times since the 2024 rule update — no exit from the UAE required. This gives a maximum continuous stay of 90 days if both extensions are used. 

Extensions allowed: Up to 2 extensions, each for 30 days 

Maximum total stay: 90 days (30 original + 30 + 30) 

Extension fee inside UAE: ~AED 1,130 per extension (higher than pre-arrival rate) 

Extension fee from outside UAE: AED 630 per extension 

Apply through: ICP Smart Services or GDRFA Dubai portal — entirely online 

Deadline: Must apply and be approved before your current visa expires — not after 

Cost tip: Extending inside the UAE costs AED 1,130 per extension vs AED 630 from outside. If you know in advance you will stay 60–90 days, applying for a 60-day or 90-day visa from the start is significantly cheaper than two in-country extensions. 

Why UAE Visas Get Rejected — And How to Avoid It 

UAE immigration does not always give a specific rejection reason, which makes it harder to know what went wrong. These are the most documented causes and the exact fixes: 

Rejection Reason Why It Happens How to Avoid It
Wrong passport photo Coloured background, glasses, shadows, face not centred White background, no glasses, taken within 6 months, 35x45mm
Name mismatch Application name differs from passport — spelling, spacing, order Copy character-by-character from passport bio page. Do not 'correct' it.
Low bank balance Statement shows very low balance or irregular transactions Maintain AED 3,000–5,000 equivalent minimum
Expired / damaged passport Valid for less than 6 months from entry date, or damaged pages Renew before applying. Only submit clean, undamaged documents.
Low-quality document scan Blurry, cropped, or partially visible passport bio page Flatbed scanner or high-res phone. All 4 corners must be visible.
UAE entry ban on record Previous overstay, deportation, or flagged entry on record Check ban status before applying. Use a licensed agent if you have a prior record.

Refund policy: Government visa fees are non-refundable whether your visa is approved or rejected. Agency service fees depend on the agency — some offer partial refunds on rejection if the cause was not applicant error. Always check refund terms before paying
