Who this visa is for

  • A holiday, shopping trip or family visit of up to a month, entering the UAE once.
  • Attending a wedding or event in Dubai, Abu Dhabi or any other emirate.
  • A stopover of more than four days on the way somewhere else.
  • First-time visitors who want the simplest visa with the fewest questions.

How long can I stay?

Up to 30 days in the UAE, counted from the day you enter — not from the day the visa is issued.

When must I enter?

You must enter the UAE within 58 days of the visa being issued. Apply once your travel dates are fixed, ideally two to three weeks before you fly.

Enter within 58 days of issue.

Price

USD 165, tax included — the amount you see is the amount your card is charged. If our document check finds we cannot proceed, you get a full refund; see the refund policy.

Processing time

2–4 working days after your documents pass our human check, which happens within 24 hours of applying. UAE public holidays can add a day or two. Your visa PDF arrives by email the moment immigration issues it.

Documents you need

  • Passport photo page (valid 6+ months from travel date)
  • Recent passport-size photo, white background

Read the photo & document requirements guide before you upload — it lists the five reasons files get sent back.

Requirements can differ by passport — check your nationality.

What this visa does not cover

  • Leaving and re-entering the UAE — that needs a multiple-entry visa.
  • Working or taking up a job; this is a visit visa only.
  • Staying beyond 30 days — extensions are a separate service; ask us on WhatsApp.
  • Entry on arrival — if your passport already qualifies for a visa on arrival, you may not need this at all; check your nationality page.

Questions travellers ask

How much does a Dubai 30-day tourist visa cost?

USD 165 with eVisaPlanet, tax included and shown before you pay. That buys a human document check, submission through Kite Star Tourism's licensed channel, and the visa PDF emailed to you.

How long does the 30-day visa take?

Typically 2–4 working days after your documents pass our check. UAE public holidays can add a day or two.

Can I enter the UAE any time after the visa is issued?

You must enter within 58 days of issue. Your 30-day stay then starts on the day you arrive.

What if my application is refused?

A holiday booked around a refused visa is painful, so we check your file by hand before anything is submitted — find a problem then and you get a full refund. After submission the fee is spent whether or not the visa comes through. Immigration alone decides; our refunds page has the detail.
