90-Day Multiple-Entry Visa Without Sponsorship Now Available in UAE

A new 90-day multiple-entry visa was introduced in the UAE, eliminating the need for a local sponsor. This initiative aims to enhance accessibility for tourists, business professionals and family visitors.

The visa is extendable up to 180 days annually and allows for multiple entries. Applicants must be at least 18 years old, possess a passport with a minimum of six months' validity, provide proof of financial stability, have valid travel insurance, and present a return ticket or onward travel documentation.

Applications can be submitted online through official government portals, with processing times ranging from five to seven business days.

The visa fee is AED 700, accompanied by a refundable security deposit of AED 2,000. Overstaying incurs a penalty of AED 50 per day. This development is part of the UAE's efforts to boost tourism and business opportunities by simplifying entry requirements.
