## Notes
90 days within any 180 day period

## Can this stay be extended from inside the country?
- Possible inside: **yes**
- Must leave the country: **no**
- Cost: AED 630

Extensions are granted in 30-day blocks. A 30-day visit visa can normally be extended twice, a 60-day visa once. All visit-visa holders are subject to a 180-day cap within any 12-month period.

**Cost detail.** The total depends on which authority issued the visa. ICP (federal) publishes AED 100 application plus AED 500 extension. GDRFA Dubai publishes AED 600 plus 5% VAT, and a Dubai in-country extension commonly totals AED 1,100–1,200 once the inside-country fee and dirham charges are added.

**How.** Apply online through the ICP portal or GDRFA before your current visa expires. Since December 2025 this can be done entirely from inside the UAE, which ended the old practice of exiting and re-entering to reset a stay.

**If you cannot extend.** Transit visas and certain mission-specific permits cannot be extended in-country at all. Because there is no grace period, an extension filed late is worth nothing — fines start immediately.
