Dubai tourist visa fee checker

GDRFA Dubai publishes tourist visa fees in two places and the two lists do not match — not on price, and not even on which visas are offered. Pick a visa and see both.

These are two pages published by the same authority — the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs in Dubai — and they do not agree on price or even on which visas exist. The 30-day single entry is AED 200 on one and AED 250 on the other. The 60-day visas appear only on the service cards; the 90-day visas appear only in the FAQ. We publish both because GDRFA has published both.

GDRFA FAQ

AED 1,740

90-day, multiple entry: AED 1,740GDRFA Dubai FAQ, “not extendable”

These are two pages published by the same authority — the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs in Dubai — and they do not agree on price or even on which visas exist. The 30-day single entry is AED 200 on one and AED 250 on the other. The 60-day visas appear only on the service cards; the 90-day visas appear only in the FAQ. We publish both because GDRFA has published both.

No arithmetic here — these are quoted figures, not a calculation. Apply through the official channel, not through this page. Fees change, eligibility depends on nationality, and neither GDRFA page states which of the two is current. Where the FAQ marks a visa “not extendable” we have carried that wording through, because it changes what an overstay costs you.

The disagreement is not a rounding error

On a 30-day single-entry visa the gap is AED 50. On a 30-day multiple-entry it is AED 390 — AED 300 against AED 690, more than double. And the two pages describe different products: 60-day visas exist only on the service cards, 90-day visas only in the FAQ.

We cannot tell you which is current, because neither page carries a date or acknowledges the other. What we can tell you is to budget from the higher figure and to confirm with GDRFA before you rely on either. The full comparison with both sources quoted, and what an overstay costs when two authorities disagree about that too.

This is not legal or financial advice. It is arithmetic on figures published by named authorities, shown so you can check it. Where the amount matters to you, confirm it with the authority itself before you act.

The other calculators

All of them work the same way: published inputs, named sources, the arithmetic shown, and the missing pieces stated.

Common questions

How much is a Dubai tourist visa?

It depends which GDRFA Dubai page you read. Its service cards publish AED 200 for a 30-day single entry and AED 300 for multiple entry. Its FAQ publishes AED 250 and AED 690 for what appear to be the same visas. Neither page is dated and neither mentions the other.

Is there a 90-day tourist visa for Dubai?

GDRFA's FAQ publishes one, at AED 600 single entry and AED 1,740 multiple entry, both marked 'not extendable'. It does not appear on the service cards at all. The 60-day visas are the reverse: on the cards, absent from the FAQ.

Which Dubai visa fee is the correct one?

We do not know and we will not guess. Both figures are published by the same authority, neither page is dated, and neither acknowledges the other. Budget from the higher one and confirm with GDRFA directly.

What does 'not extendable' mean on a Dubai visa?

GDRFA's FAQ attaches that wording to the visas it lists. It matters because an unextendable visa leaves overstaying as the only alternative to leaving — and the daily overstay fine is itself published differently by two UAE authorities.
