VISA INFORMATION

It is our pleasure to assist you in your trip to the United Arab Emirates - Dubai. Applying for a visa normally takes around 5 to 7 days and can’t be applied to on Fridays, Saturdays or national holidays. The application fee for a 30-day visa is Dhs. 450. Application fees are non-refundable once they are submitted to the Immigration department, whether or not the visa is approved.

In addition to the application fee, a refundable deposit of Dhs. 5,000 is required, to insure that applicants do not over stay after their visa is expired. The deposit will be refunded, once we get confirmation that the applicant has left the country. One of our conditions for applying for a visa is that an applicant must book accommodations through our hotel for their stay in Dubai. The full payment of all fees is required before we will process an applicant’s visa.

Step1. Application form

 We require that you print and fill out the visa application form for each visa you are applying for. Once completed, the applicant should mail the application forms to marcohot@emirates.net.ae  along with the following:

• Clear scanned color passport copies in JPG format

Step2.  Payment Method

The visa application fee, the refundable deposit and accommodation charges can either be paid for by bank transfer, credit card or in cash.
