The three-month visit visa is in high demand; according to visa agents, up to 20 applications are made daily.
However, due to the price difference—the 60-day visit visa is available for Dh650—the majority still favour the 30- or 60-day visa.
During the pandemic, the three-month visa was eliminated, and a 60-day visa was added to cover the void. By the end of May 2023, the three-month leisure visa was reinstated, allowing guests to stay in the UAE for up to 90 days. Firoz Maliyakkal, the founder and CEO of Tahira Tours and Travel LLC, stated that there are currently three different single entry visas available: 30, 60, and 90 days.
The following groups of travelers that apply for the longer-term visa are stated by Pavan Poojari, a visa counselor at Luxury Travels: These include visitors who want to spend a lengthy holiday in the UAE, parents and kids of UAE citizens, their extended families, and tourists who want to travel across the nation before relocating there permanently.
Many families and travel professionals think a month or two is simply not long enough to really experience and live in the UAE. Contrarily, many people who want to stay in the nation for a longer period of time have found solace in the 90-day leisure visa.
In Matthew’s case, who recently took his parents and other family members to Dubai for a three-month visit, this is what happened. “My parents spent a lot of time here and the memories of Dubai keep them coming back. They were discouraged because their prior visit was on a two-month visa. They are content to live here for the next two months, though,” Matthew remarked.
Jessy, who is in town for three months, is excited to get to know her nephew better. Her recent loss of a family member had been quite distressing for her. Her nephew responded, “We got her here for a change.
Eligibility
The two forms of three-month visas, according to experts, are: “A resident sponsoring immediate family members and friends by keeping a deposit of Dh1,000,” said Feroz, adding that the prerequisite is a salary range between Dh6,000 and Dh8,000.
For the second category, anyone can apply through a sponsoring travel agency. Just the passport copy and images are needed, according to Firoz.
Cost
The first type of visas can be applied for on the official immigration websites and cost roughly Dh800 with a Dh1,000 refundable deposit. People can apply for the second category through their travel agency for a fee between Dh1,200 and Dh1,400, according to Firoz.
According to experts, those who find it extremely difficult to leave the country for a visa extension have benefited greatly from the 90-day visa.
