Visiting Family in the UAE
Pakistan has one of the largest expatriate populations in the UAE. If you are visiting a family member who lives and works in the UAE, you can still apply for a standard tourist/visit e-visa — you do not need a separate "family visit" visa type. The tourist e-visa covers family visits.
Required Documents
- Valid Pakistani passport — at least 6 months validity, at least 2 blank pages
- Passport-style photo — white background, full face, no glasses, taken within last 6 months
No bank statements or employment letters are required for a standard tourist e-visa.
Common Rejection Reasons for Pakistani Applicants
Pakistani applications are sometimes rejected for avoidable reasons:
- Poor quality passport scan — ensure full colour, no glare, all 4 corners visible
- Non-compliant photo — white background only, no sunglasses, face clearly visible
- Passport nearing expiry — must be valid for at least 6 months from your entry date
- Uncancelled previous UAE visa — check your visa cancellation status before applying
Extending Your Stay
A 30-day visit visa can be extended for an additional 30 days online through the DNRD portal. You can also apply for a 60-day visa upfront if you plan a longer stay. Do not overstay — fines are 100 AED per day.
