Up-to-Date Visit Visa Changes You Need to Know

The United Arab Emirates implemented several modifications to its visa policies as part of the extensive overhaul known as the advanced visa system, which went into force in October 2022. The Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security implemented a significant reform about residency and entry permits in the United Arab Emirates.

Numerous changes have been made to the nation's visitation visa programme since then. The most recent change made today raised the costs for granting visitation, residency, and Emirates ID visas in the UAE.

Following the implementation of the reforms, the visit visa system has undergone six changes, as compiled by the Khaleej Times.

No extensions of visit visas granted from within the nation: Those with visitation visas are not permitted to renew their visas from within the nation after the initial term has passed. If an individual has a visiting visa and wishes to stay in the UAE longer, they must leave the country and return with a new visitation visa. For a fee, visitors can extend their visas for an additional month, after that, they can re-enter the country by flying or driving out.

Fee increase: There was an increase in the cost to issue visas and Emirates IDs. According to a representative, the new fees apply to all services provided by the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Ports Security. The new regulations state that the cost of an Emirates ID is varied, and the cost of a one-month visit visa is also changed.

Five-year multiple entry visa: This visa allows visitors to enter the United Arab Emirates on their own and stay for ninety days each time. The initial 90 days of the visa can be extended by the holders for an additional 90 days without having to leave the nation.

Authorities claim that the visa enables families from other countries to visit their loved ones in the United Arab Emirates more frequently. The supporting documentation required for the multiple entry visa application includes a copy of the flight ticket, proof of UAE health insurance, a bank statement for the previous six months showing a balance or its equivalent in foreign currency, and proof of residency in the form of an invitation letter from friends and family in the UAE.

Overstay fine: Before leaving the country, visitors who stay longer than the allotted time on their visit visa must pay an overstay fine and pay an additional fee for an out pass or leave permit. "This pertains to tourists who are departing via Dubai.

60-day visas were once again issued: Following the reforms, the United Arab Emirates began issuing 60-day visitation visas. For those wishing to visit the nation, 30-day and 60-day visit visas are currently being issued.

Visitation authorization: By the most recent revision, a guest may request this kind of authorization if they are friends or family of a citizen or resident of the United Arab Emirates. They don't have to use a travel agency for it. According to experts the friend or relative can sponsor the visitor by paying a refundable deposit.
