Dubai visa
Applied for online. You upload documents, pay the fee, and the approval arrives by email — you print it and carry it. No embassy visit, no passport submission.
Read this first
A 60-day visa is also issued at roughly double the fee. Indians holding a valid US visa or green card, or a UK or EU residence permit, can instead take a 14-day visa on arrival — cheaper, but only if the document is valid on the day you land. Fees move with the dirham and with airline-issued visa rules; the figure shown is indicative and is confirmed when we file.

Under assessment
Working days only, and the destination’s public holidays do not count. Peak season adds to this — plan for longer, not shorter.

Documents you need
Work through this list before you send anything. Most refusals are a missing page or a mismatched name, not a rejected traveller.

Common questions
Is the Dubai fee shown here guaranteed?
No. It is a researched, current estimate. Consular fees move with exchange rates and with policy notices published at short notice, and Dreamvaca confirms the exact payable amount in writing before filing.
How long does the Dubai visa take?
4 working days is the current published guide. Add a week of buffer, and two in peak season.
How long can I stay?
Up to 30 days, on a single entry. The permitted stay is what the immigration stamp says, not what your ticket says.
