Which Visa Should You Choose?
Choose the 30-Day Visa if:
- Your trip is definitely 3-4 weeks or less
- You want to minimize budget
- It's your first time visiting Dubai
- Your return date is fixed
Choose the 60-Day Visa if:
- Your trip is 4-8 weeks

- You're combining business and tourism
- You're uncertain about the length of your stay
Multiple Entry Option
Both visas offer a multiple entry option, allowing you to enter and exit Dubai multiple times within the visa validity period.
Example Scenario:
If you want to spend 2 weeks in Dubai, cross to Oman, then return to Dubai, a multiple entry visa is mandatory.
Multiple entry visas are typically 50-80% more expensive than single entry.

To extend your visa, apply while still in Dubai — at least 7-10 days before expiry.
Extension Steps:
- Visit an Amer Service Center or approved agency
- Bring passport, photo, and current visa
- Extension fee: approximately $50-80 USD
