- Issue date: when your visa was created — the clock starts here
- Entry deadline: the last day you can arrive in Dubai (usually 60 days from issue)
- Stay duration: how many days you can remain once you enter (30, 60, or 90)
- Overstaying costs 100 AED per day in fines
The Three Dates on a Dubai E-Visa
When you receive a Dubai e-visa, it shows three important dates. Understanding each one prevents costly mistakes.
1. Issue Date
The date the visa was created and approved. This is when your countdown starts.
2. Entry Deadline (Validity Date)
The last date by which you must enter the UAE. Most Dubai visit visas allow entry within 60 days of the issue date. If you do not enter by this date, the visa expires unused.
3. Stay Duration
Once you enter Dubai, this is how many days you may remain:
- 30-day visa: 30 days from entry
- 60-day visa: 60 days from entry
Common Mistake: Confusing Entry Deadline with Stay Duration
Example: Visa issued 1 January.
- Entry deadline: 1 March (60 days to enter)
- You enter on 28 February
- Stay expires: 30 March (30 days from entry)
The stay duration clock only starts when you actually enter, not from the issue date.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: If my visa is valid for 60 days, does that mean I can stay 60 days?
A: Not necessarily. "Valid for 60 days" usually means 60 days to enter, not 60 days of stay. Check the stay duration separately.
Q: What happens if I stay past my permitted duration?
A: Overstay fines of 100 AED per day apply immediately after expiry, plus a 50 AED administrative fee after 10 days.
Q: Can I re-enter Dubai after exiting on a multiple-entry visa?
A: Yes. Multiple-entry visas allow you to exit and re-enter within the visa's validity period, up to the maximum total stay allowed.
