Quick Answer

A 90-day Dubai visit visa costs AED 300 for the single-entry version and AED 650 for the multiple-entry version when applied for online. Add AED 100–300 for medical testing and Emirates ID if you extend beyond 30 days. Prices are the same in 2026; only service fees at ICP or VFS Global may rise slightly.

Why Dubai Offers 90-Day Visit Visas

The UAE rolled out 90-day visit visas in 2023 to attract longer-stay tourists and remote workers. Dubai’s tourism board reported a 19 % increase in multi-month visitors by 2025. The visa lets you stay continuously or in multiple entries, perfect for families, digital nomads, or property buyers who need extra time.

Official Costs in 2026

  • Single-entry 90 days: AED 300 (ICP online portal)
  • Multiple-entry 90 days: AED 650 (ICP online portal)
  • Medical fitness test (if extending): AED 300–750 at DHA-approved centres
  • Emirates ID issuance (for extensions): AED 100
  • ICP service fee: AED 29–50 per application
  • VFS Global premium lounge (optional): AED 150–250

All fees are listed in AED. Verify the latest figure on the ICP website before you pay, because seasonal promotions occasionally drop the single-entry price to AED 250.

Step-by-Step: How to Apply Online

  1. Create an account on the ICP smart services portal or the ICA UAE app.
  2. Upload a passport scan valid for at least six months beyond your planned stay.
  3. Upload a passport-style photo (white background, 5×5 cm).
  4. Pay the AED 300 or 650 fee with a Visa or MasterCard.
  5. Receive the visa PDF within minutes to 48 hours; print or save to your phone.
  6. On arrival, get a free 30-day stamp; convert it to a 90-day sticker at ICP within 30 days if needed.

Extending Your 90-Day Visa Inside the UAE

You can extend twice for 30 days each (total 150 days). Each extension costs AED 600 plus a medical test if the total stay exceeds 90 days. Apply through the ICP portal at least three days before expiry. Overstaying triggers a AED 50 daily fine, so set calendar reminders.

Common Mistakes Tourists Make

  • Buying the wrong visa type from unofficial websites that add hidden AED 200 mark-ups.
  • Forgetting to convert the entry stamp into a 90-day visa within 30 days of arrival.
  • Assuming visa runs to Oman are still allowed; immigration now tracks 90-day visa overstays electronically.
  • Skipping travel insurance; hospitals can charge AED 7,000+ for an emergency visit.

Insider Tips for a Smooth Trip

  • Apply during weekdays 8 a.m.–4 p.m. GST; weekend applications sometimes queue.
  • Carry printed hotel bookings or host Ejari contract; immigration may ask.
  • Keep AED 2,000 cash or card limit proof; border officers occasionally request funds evidence.
  • Download the ICP app to track expiry and receive renewal alerts 10 days early.

Where to Get Help If Something Goes Wrong

Visit the ICP Amer centre at Dubai Mall or DXB Airport Terminal 3. Staff speak English and can reprint lost visas for AED 100. For complex cases—lost passports, name mismatches—book a 15-minute slot via the ICP website; the consultation itself is free.

Key takeaway: The 90-day Dubai visit visa remains one of the easiest and most affordable long-stay options in the region. Apply directly on the ICP portal, budget AED 300–800 total, and track your expiry date to avoid fines. With the right paperwork and a little planning, you can enjoy three uninterrupted months discovering Dubai worry-free.

Frequently asked questions

Is the 3-month visa fee the same for all nationalities?

Yes. The AED 300 single-entry and AED 650 multiple-entry fees apply to 90 % of passport holders; only a few nationalities still require an embassy reference.

Can I convert my 30-day visa into a 90-day one?

No. You must exit and apply for a fresh 90-day visa, or extend the 30-day visa twice for AED 600 each time.

Do children pay the same 90-day visa fee?

Kids under 18 pay the same AED 300, but children under 2 can usually travel visa-free on a parent’s visa.

What happens if I overstay by a few days?

AED 50 fine per day, payable at the airport or ICP centres. After 30 days the fine doubles and an exit ban may apply.

Can I apply for a 90-day visa on arrival?

No. The 90-day visa must be secured online or via airlines before you fly; only 30-day visas are issued at Dubai immigration counters.
