Dubai Visa Information

If you are a national of the GCC, you do not require a Visa to enter Dubai.

Countries within the GCC comprise Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman and Saudi Arabia. These nations have very close ties with Dubai and share many political and religious views. If you are just an inhabitant of the GCC nations, you could get a 30 day Dubai Visa upon getting into the Emirate.

Transit Visas

If you are simply flying by Dubai on your way elsewhere, you could get a Transit Visa if you can display a continuing air travel ticket. This Visa is only a 4 day (96 hour) Visa but is just right for you if you're a tourist so that you could take some days and tour Dubai.

This Visa would be issued by any airline operating in the UAE and is free. Emirates will usually permit you a multiple day layover since the airline is based in Dubai. Very few airlines permit you this choice thus take advantage of it anytime you can. Consider this option whenever you've got a layover in Dubai.

Do Not Overstay

You'll be deported if you overstay in Dubai for an excessive period of time. You may be banned from entering back. That is why it is best not to overstay.

If you overstay, you will be charged a penalty of around $25 per day. This range varies but usually tops off at this price. If you overstay for a long period of time, you'll be taken to the court and a penalty decision can be ruled.

Where to Get Your Visa

The official authority that handles visitor matters is the DNRD. The department is part of the Ministry of Interior. They control all Dubai Visa requirements including the the procedures to obtain a Visa. Their decisions vary throughout the year, especially when Dubai is hosting an event and is anticipating many visitors. Most Visas are given at the Dubai International Airport upon arrival. I highly suggest visiting a UAE embassy close to you for the most updated Dubai Visa information.
