## Documents required
- Passport valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry
- Passport-style colour photograph against a white background
- Confirmed return or onward flight booking
- Proof of accommodation, such as a hotel booking or a host address
- Sponsor details, where the visa is sponsored by an airline, hotel or resident
- Proof of sufficient funds, such as a recent bank statement

## Notes
A 96-hour transit visa can be obtained on arrival at Dubai(DXB), provided:transit time is at least 8 hours; and holding onward ticket to a third country; and holding a passport valid for at least 6 months from date of arrival. Pay Visa fee of 170 AED. Visas are only issued as a part of a transit package together with hotel accommodation and airport transfer

## 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.
