Tourist visa in UAE is issued on single or multiple entries for 30 or 60 days, depending on your tour plan. Many tourist visas can be extended from inside the UAE; the number and length of extensions depend on the current rules.
Dubai is consistently ranked among the world’s most visited cities, and tourism plays a significant role in the growth of the UAE economy.
To trip to Dubai- your dream city, you just need a Tourist visa in Dubai that is valid for a specific duration. You can obtain a tourist visa in the form of an electronic authorization (E-Visa) by submitting your essential travel documents and other relevant information. At Wordcraft, we simplify Dubai tourist visa procedures for your untiring expedition.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a tourist visa be extended?
Many visit visas can be extended from inside the UAE, but the options and durations change from time to time, so we confirm the current rule before applying.
Can I work on a tourist visa?
No. A tourist visa does not allow employment; to work in the UAE you need an employment visa and work permit.
What documents do I need?
Usually a passport valid for at least six months, a recent photo and your travel and accommodation details. Some nationalities are asked for more, and we tell you exactly what applies.
UAE Tourist Visa Types
- 30-day and 60-day tourist visas: single or multiple entry, for holidays and family visits.
- 5-year multiple-entry tourist visa: for frequent visitors; each stay is limited in length and the visitor must meet the financial condition set by the authority (confirmed at application).
- Visa on arrival or visa-free entry: available to some nationalities; we check yours first so you do not apply for a visa you do not need.
Visit visa options and durations are updated from time to time, so we confirm the current choices for your nationality in your quote.
Visit Visa for Relatives and Friends of Residents
UAE residents can invite relatives and friends on a visit visa, with the resident acting as sponsor where the rules allow. The sponsor usually provides a passport, visa and Emirates ID copy, and sometimes proof of income and relationship. If your relative plans to stay and live with you, a residence visa is the better route; see our family visa and parents visa services.
Common Reasons Visit Visa Applications Are Rejected
- Passport validity of less than six months at the date of entry.
- A photo with the wrong background or size, or a blurred passport scan.
- A previous overstay, absconding report or unpaid fine in the UAE.
- Incomplete documents from the resident sponsor, where the visitor is sponsored by a relative.
- Travel details that do not match the visa type, such as a planned stay longer than the visa allows.
We review every application before submission and tell you in advance if something needs fixing.
Extending or Changing Status Inside the UAE
Many visit visas can be extended from inside the UAE without leaving; the number and length of extensions depend on the current rules and your visa type. If you receive a job offer or a family member wants to sponsor you, you may be able to switch directly to a residence visa; see our status change service. Apply before your visit visa expires to avoid overstay fines.
