A 30-day single-entry UAE tourist visa allows eligible travellers to enter the UAE once for a tourist stay of up to 30 days. It is commonly called a “30-day Dubai visa.” Check the conditions and dates on your issued visa before travelling. If your plans involve leaving the UAE and returning, tell Saifco before applying so the appropriate entry type can be considered.
No. Some travellers qualify for visa-free entry or a visa on arrival. Eligibility depends on nationality and, for certain schemes, qualifying residence permits or visas held in other countries. Share your passport nationality and country of residence when enquiring. This helps establish whether you need a pre-arranged visa before paying for an application. Do not rely solely on the entry rules that applied to a friend or relative.
Common documents include a clear passport copy and a recent photograph. A return or onward ticket and identity documents for certain nationalities may also be requested. Other requirements depend on the applicant and application route. If UAE-valid medical insurance or another supporting document applies to your case, Saifco will confirm this before processing.
GDRFA specifically lists a country-of-origin identity card for Pakistani applicants. However, its published single-entry tourist visa checklist does not list a six-month bank statement or marriage certificate as a universal requirement for every applicant. Additional documents may be requested for a particular application. Ask Saifco to confirm whether these are needed for your case, including any documents required for accompanying children.
The permitted stay and the entry deadline are separate. For this visa, the stay is up to 30 days, as shown on the issued visa. The visa also shows the last date by which you must enter the UAE. Check both dates on your own visa before travelling, because conditions can vary by application route.
GDRFA lists an expected completion time of 48 hours for its single-entry tourist visa service. This is an authority service estimate, not a guaranteed Saifco delivery time. Confirm the current estimate before applying and allow time for document preparation or additional requests. Avoid committing to non-refundable travel arrangements on the assumption that approval will arrive on a particular day.
Contact Saifco for the current quotation for your application. Before paying, request a clear breakdown showing the total amount and what it includes, such as application assistance, applicable taxes and insurance.
A government processing fee is not necessarily the full amount charged for an agency service. Confirm any additional charges and the applicable cancellation or refund terms in writing before proceeding.
Your application and travel arrangements should include a ticket to leave the UAE or continue your journey. Saifco’s published checklist also requests hotel bookings or accommodation details where applicable.
If you will stay with relatives or friends, explain this when enquiring and ask which accommodation documents are needed. Confirm the required booking format before purchasing non-refundable flights or accommodation solely for the application.
No. Once you leave the UAE, you cannot reuse the same single-entry visa to enter again, even if you stayed for fewer than 30 days.
This matters if your holiday includes an Oman visit, a regional flight or another international side trip. Explain the complete itinerary before applying. Your return to the UAE will require an appropriate new visa or another valid entry entitlement.
An extension may be possible for an eligible visa. Contact the company that processed your visa before it expires, as the request must be made through the sponsor. Approval depends on the issuing authority. Extension charges vary by provider and may include government and service charges.
No. A tourist visa does not authorise employment in the UAE. The UAE Government states that working on a visit or tourist visa is prohibited, whether paid or unpaid.
If you receive a job offer during your visit, the appropriate work authorisation must be arranged before you begin working. A tourist visa should not be presented as permission to start a job or undertake an unpaid work trial.
Start by submitting an enquiry through this page or contacting Saifco. Explain your nationality, intended travel date and travel plans, then confirm the required documents, fees and application steps.
Saifco provides application assistance, but the relevant UAE authority makes the approval decision. Approval is not guaranteed. Before paying, ask which charges, if any, are refundable if the application is refused or you decide not to proceed.
