Step-by-Step Procedure for Visa Extension (Inside the UAE)

With a 60-day single-entry tourist visa, you can stay in the UAE longer without leaving. It is very important to apply before the expiration date of your present visa to avoid fees.

1:Access the Official Online Portal:

• Go to the main website for UAE immigration services. Use the GDRFA Dubai website or app if you got your visa in Dubai.
• Use the ICP Smart Services portal for visas from other emirates or the central government.
• Use your UAE Pass or an existing account to log in.

2: Fill Out the Extension Application:

• Make sure you have clear digital copies of all the papers you need to upload. In most cases, this includes:
• Your passport that is still good for at least six months
• The visa or entry stamp you have now
• A recent picture the size of a passport
• Proof of travel to get back or to go somewhere else (flight ticket)
• Proof that you have enough money, like a recent bank statement

3: Pay the Visa Extension Fees:

You can pay the fees by going to the safe online payment platform. An in-country extension costs between AED 1,150 and AED 1,200 all together. This includes:

• AED 600 (Visa Extension Fee) + 5% VAT
• AED 500 (In-Country Processing Fee)
• AED 10 (Knowledge Dirham Fee)
• AED 10 (Innovation Dirham Fee)

4: Await Approval:

Eligibility by Nationality for UAE Visit Visa Extensions (2025 Guide)

It is important to understand your eligibility for a UAE visit visa extension. This is key if you want to stay in Dubai or any other emirate longer than planned. In 2025, the UAE will let most visitors extend their visit or tourist visas. They can do this twice, for 30 days each, without leaving the country. However, the eligibility rules depend on your nationality and the type of visa you entered with.

Below is a detailed breakdown of who can extend and under what conditions

1. 30-Day Visa on Arrival Nationals

Citizens from certain countries can get a visa when they arrive in the UAE. This visa allows them to stay for 30 days. The countries include Hong Kong, Malaysia, Monaco, Ukraine, Mauritius, the USA, and Canada.
These visitors are eligible to extend once for another 30 days, resulting in a total stay of 60 days.
The extension can be applied online through GDRFA or ICP Smart Services without leaving the UAE.

2. 90-Day Visa on Arrival Nationals

Travelers from Europe, Australia, Russia, Japan, Argentina, and Brazil can get a 90-day multiple-entry visa on arrival. This visa is valid for 6 months and allows a total of 90 days.
This visa type cannot be extended once the 90 days are used.
To stay longer, travelers must leave and come back or get a pre-arranged tourist visa from a UAE sponsor or airline.

3. 14-Day Visa on Arrival for Indian Nationals

Since 2024, Indian passport holders can get a visa on arrival in Dubai. This is available for those who have valid US, UK, or EU visas or residency permits. The visa on arrival lasts for 14 days.
This visa can be extended once for an additional 14 days, allowing a maximum of 28 days stay.
Applicants must ensure their foreign visa or residence permit remains valid during their stay.

4. Pre-Arranged Tourist Visa Holders

Nationals from countries not eligible for visa-on-arrival — such as India, Pakistan, the Philippines, and Nigeria — usually enter with a pre-arranged 30 or 60-day tourist visa sponsored by an airline, hotel, or travel agency.
These visas can be extended twice (30 days each) from inside the UAE, giving a maximum of 120 days total stay without exiting.
After the second extension, travelers must either exit the UAE or switch to another visa category.

5. GCC Nationals

Citizens from Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries do not need a visa to enter the UAE. The GCC countries include Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Qatar.
Therefore, extensions do not apply. They can enter and stay freely due to regional freedom of movement agreements.

Key Policy Updates for 2025

• Two Extensions Allowed: Tourists can now extend their visa twice, with each extension granting 30 days. The maximum continuous stay on a tourist visa is generally capped at 120 days.
• No Grace Period: The previous 10-day grace period after visa expiry has been eliminated. Overstaying even one day incurs an immediate fine of AED 50 per day, plus additional service fees. You must renew or exit on or before your expiration date.
• Stricter Entry/Extension Requirements: Authorities may now require proof of funds, confirmed accommodation, and a return ticket during the application process to prevent misuse.
• Digital Services: The process is now highly digitalized through the ICP and GDRFA portals, making online applications the fastest and most convenient method.

Where to Apply

• Online (Recommended): Use the ICP Smart Services or GDRFA Dubai portals for a fast, 24/7 service from anywhere.
• In-Person (Amer Centers): Visit an official Amer center in Dubai for face-to-face assistance. The process and fees are the same.
• Using a Professional Service Provider: For a smooth experience, companies like Gulliver Travels offer complete visa services. They handle the entire extension process quickly and reliably.
