The Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship has introduced a family group option while applying for a 5-year multiple entry tourist UAE visa. Before, people had to apply for each family member separately, consuming a lot of time to upload each document repeatedly. The new option simplifies the whole process, and the family members can now apply for this Dubai evisa online as a group.
The new 5 year multiple entry visa for Dubai issued to the families will allow them to stay in the UAE for a maximum of 90 days at a time. If they wish to extend their stay, they can do so for another 90 days. However, the total stay for the year cannot be more than 180 days. This e visa to Dubai is a welcome change for families who frequently travel to the UAE, as it reduces the need to apply for a visa every time they visit. For example, instead of applying for a 30 days Dubai single entry visa
or a 60 days UAE single entry visa each time they travel, families can apply for a single UAE visit visa valid for five years.
