Quick answer

A standard 60-day Dubai visit visa costs AED 300 if you apply online through ICP or airlines. Add AED 100–300 for medical testing and Emirates ID if you extend beyond 60 days. Always verify the latest fee on the ICP portal before you pay.

How much does a 60-day Dubai visit visa actually cost in 2026?

Most visitors choose the 60-day single-entry visa because it offers the best balance between cost and length of stay. The base government fee is AED 300 when applied for through official channels. Airlines such as Emirates, Etihad, and flydubai bundle the same visa for AED 300–350 when you book a flight. No hidden taxes apply, but service charges of AED 29.75–50 may appear at checkout.

Official fees breakdown

  • ICP entry-permit fee: AED 300
  • ICP change-status fee (if converting inside UAE): AED 750
  • Medical fitness test (if extending): AED 300–500
  • Emirates ID issuance: AED 100

Remember that fees are subject to change; verify current fee with ICP before you apply.

Step-by-step: how to apply for a 60-day Dubai visit visa

  1. Choose your entry point—Dubai International (DXB) or Al Maktoum (DWC).
  2. Book a flight or apply directly on ICP.gov.ae or GDRFA’s smart app.
  3. Fill the online form, upload passport scan and photo.
  4. Pay AED 300 by card; print or save the PDF visa.
  5. Receive visa via email within minutes to 48 hours.

Common mistakes that increase your Dubai visit visa cost

Applying through unofficial agencies can add AED 200–400 in commission. Forgetting to extend on time triggers a daily fine of AED 50 after the visa expires. Converting the visa to a residence visa inside the country costs AED 750 instead of leaving and re-entering on a fresh 60-day visa.

Visa extensions and multiple-entry options

Once inside the UAE you can extend the 60-day visa twice for 30 days each. Each extension costs AED 600 plus medical and Emirates ID fees if your stay exceeds 60 days. Frequent visitors may prefer the 60-day multiple-entry visa at AED 650, valid for six months with each stay capped at 60 days.

Where to apply without paying extra

Stick to ICP.gov.ae, GDRFA smart services, or airline websites. Dubai Now and ICP’s mobile apps give the same AED 300 price with no convenience fee. Avoid random Instagram travel pages promising “instant approval” that charge AED 500 or more.

Tips to keep costs low in 2026

  • Apply exactly 14–30 days before arrival; earlier applications sometimes require proof of onward travel.
  • Use a credit card with zero foreign-transaction fees; the AED 300 charge converts at mid-market rate.
  • Carry printed and digital copies of the visa in case of spot checks at DXB immigration.

Key takeaway

The Dubai visit visa cost for 60 days remains AED 300 when you apply through official portals. Budget an extra AED 200–300 for medical tests or extensions if you plan to stay longer. Always confirm the latest fees on ICP or GDRFA before you click “pay” to avoid surprises at the airport.
