What is a UAE Visit Visa?
A UAE visit visa allows UAE residents and citizens to sponsor family members, friends, or business associates for short stays in the UAE. Unlike a tourist visa which is applied for independently, a visit visa requires a UAE resident or citizen as the sponsor and is processed through the GDRFA. Visit visas are available for 30, 60, and 90-day durations with single or multiple entry options. Al Buhari Digital handles new visit visa applications, renewals, extensions, and cancellations for sponsors across Dubai and the UAE. For tourists traveling without a local sponsor, our tourist visa service provides an independent application process. Explore all our services on our home page.
Who Can Sponsor a Visit Visa in UAE?
Any UAE resident holding a valid residence visa or a UAE citizen can sponsor a visit visa for family members, friends, or business guests. The sponsor must provide their Emirates ID, residence visa copy, and proof of accommodation such as an Ejari tenancy contract. Al Buhari Digital verifies all sponsor and guest documents before submission to ensure the application is complete and compliant. For sponsors also needing to renew their own residence visa, our Amer Center services manage both processes together.
New Visit Visa Dubai — 30, 60 & 90 Day Options
Al Buhari Digital processes new visit visa applications for all available durations. The 30-day visit visa is ideal for short family gatherings, celebrations, or brief business meetings and can be extended once by 30 days without the guest leaving the UAE. The 60-day visit visa suits longer stays for family visits or extended holidays. The 90-day visit visa is designed for prolonged stays such as family reunions, caregiving arrangements, or guests who wish to explore multiple emirates. Multiple-entry visit visas are also available for guests who travel frequently between the UAE and their home country.
Visit Visa Extension Dubai
If your guest's visit visa is nearing expiration and they wish to stay longer, Al Buhari Digital processes the extension inside the UAE — typically providing an additional 30 to 60 days depending on the visa type. Extensions must be applied for before the current visa expires to avoid daily overstay fines of AED 50. Our team tracks expiry dates and initiates the extension process on time. For guests whose extended stay leads to employment or business opportunities in the UAE, our Amer Center guides them through the visa status change process.
Visit Visa Cancellation Dubai
If your guest is leaving the UAE before their visit visa expires, or if their visa needs to be cancelled to apply for a new one, Al Buhari Digital processes the cancellation quickly and provides official confirmation. Proper cancellation avoids overstay complications and keeps both the sponsor's and guest's immigration records clean. For guests transitioning to a work visa or residence visa, our Amer Center services manage the full transition process after cancellation.
Required Documents for UAE Visit Visa
To apply for a visit visa, you need the sponsor's Emirates ID (both sides), residence visa copy and passport copy, tenancy contract (Ejari) as proof of accommodation, and the guest's passport copy (minimum six months validity), passport-size photograph on a white background, and proof of relationship for close family members such as a marriage certificate or birth certificate. For relationship documents that require attestation or legal translation, our legal advisor services handle MOFA attestation and certified translation.
Visit Visa Costs and Processing Time
Visit visa applications are processed within 2 to 5 working days under regular processing. Urgent processing is available at an additional fee. Costs vary by visa duration — a 30-day visit visa starts from AED 350, and a 90-day visit visa ranges from AED 800 to 1,200. Extension fees start from AED 600 depending on the visa type and duration. Al Buhari Digital provides full cost transparency before processing begins with no hidden charges.
