How it works
From passport to e-visa in five steps
Everything happens on this website. You never visit an office, and you can stop and pick up again from your confirmation email.
Step 1
Tell us your passport
Pick the nationality on your passport and the country you are travelling from. The visa options, documents and fees shown next are matched to the passport you hold — visa-free passports, for example, only see extensions.
Step 2
Pick the visa that fits your trip
Compare the visas available to you — 48-hour and 96-hour transit, 14-day, 30-day and 60-day tourist visas in single- or multiple-entry versions, and inside-country or A2A extensions — and pick the one that matches your travel dates.
Step 3
Complete one form for the group
Complete one application form and add everyone travelling with you to the same submission. Upload your passport scan, photograph and any supporting bookings — everything is sent over an encrypted SSL connection.
Step 4
Pay the itemised fee
Review your fee summary — the sponsored visa fee and the service fee, shown as two separate amounts — then pay securely online by card. A confirmation email with your application ID arrives straight away.
Step 5
Track it and receive your e-visa
Track your application at any time with your application ID on the visa status page. Once approved, your e-visa is emailed to you — check every detail against your passport before you fly.
Compare every Dubai visa we arrange

What to have ready before you apply
Have these four items ready before you start — most applicants complete the upload in one sitting.

Passport rules
- Valid for at least 6 months from the date of travel
- At least 2 blank pages left in the passport
