Who Needs a Tourist Visa?

Tourist visas are for those who are not eligible for a visa on arrival or visa-free entry to the UAE. These visas can be obtained by eligible individual tourists from around the world. Females under 18 years old cannot apply for this visa unless they are traveling with their parents. A Cabinet resolution passed in July 2018 allows children under 18 accompanying adults to get a free visa from 15 July to 15 September each year.

How to Apply for Your Tourist Visa

Through Agencies and Hotels: Licensed travel agents and hotels in the UAE can arrange a tourist visa if you purchase a ticket through them and maintain a hotel reservation with the specific hotel. You can also contact travel agencies in your country for tourist packages to the UAE in collaboration with local tour operators. Always verify the authenticity of the travel agents before paying or sending copies of your documents. You can seek assistance from the UAE embassy in your country for verification.

Note: UAE embassies do not issue tourist visas. To get a tourist visa, you need to contact UAE-based airlines, a tour agency, or a hotel (where you plan to stay) that will apply on your behalf to the official visa-issuing authorities in the UAE.
