What is the 30 days Dubai visit visa?
The 30 days Dubai visit visa the one month visa is the standard UAE tourist visa and the one most visitors take. It gives you 30 days of stay on a single entry, and 60 days from the date of issue to use it. It arrives as a PDF by email, so there is nothing to collect and no appointment to attend.
A month is enough for a proper holiday, a long family visit, a stretch of remote work from Dubai, or a run of business meetings without watching the calendar. At $205 it costs $20 more than the 14 days visa for twice the time, which is why it is the one we issue most.

60 days to enter, 30 days to stay
This is the part of the visa people misread most often, and it is worth two minutes now rather than a problem at the airport.
Your visa carries two separate clocks:
- The entry window 60 days. This starts the day the visa is issued. It is the deadline for arriving in the UAE, and nothing more.
- The stay 30 days. This does not start until you land. It is the number of days you may remain in the country.
Worked through: a visa issued on 1 March must be used to enter the UAE by 30 April. Arrive on 20 April and your 30 days run from 20 April you must leave by 19 May, even though the visa was issued in March. The March date never limits your stay.
What this means in practice is that you can apply well in advance without losing any of your time. The only date that costs you anything is the 60-day entry deadline: miss that and the visa expires unused, and a new application is required.
Documents required
- Passport bio page — colour scan, at least six months of validity remaining from your arrival date
- Passport photograph — recent, white background, face clearly visible
- Return or onward ticket — dated inside your 30 days
- Accommodation — hotel booking, or your host's address and contact number
If you are staying with family, we need their address and a contact number, not a formal invitation letter. A booking you have made but not yet paid for is fine.

Frequently asked questions
How much is a 1 month Dubai visa?
$205 per person on regular processing, or $255 on Express. The one month visa and the 30 days visa are the same thing.
Is the 30 days visa valid for 30 days or 60?
Both numbers are correct and they measure different things. You have 60 days from issue to enter the UAE, and 30 days of stay once you arrive.
What happens if I don't travel within the 60 days?
The visa expires unused and a fresh application is needed. It cannot be reinstated or transferred to new dates.
Can I apply two months before I travel?
You can, but the 60-day entry window starts the day it is issued so applying more than 60 days ahead risks it expiring before you fly. Three to four weeks out is the comfortable point.
Can I leave and come back on this visa?
No — it is single entry. For more than one entry, take the 30 Days Multiple Entry Visa.
Is it only for Dubai?
No. It is a UAE visa and covers all seven emirates, including Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ras Al Khaimah.
What documents do I need?
A colour scan of your passport bio page, a recent photograph on a white background, a return or onward ticket dated inside your 30 days, and your accommodation details.
Do I need an invitation letter if I am staying with family?
No. We need their address and a contact number, not a formal invitation letter.
Does my hotel booking have to be paid for already?
No. A booking you have made but not yet paid for is fine.
How much validity does my passport need?
At least six months remaining, counted from your arrival date in the UAE.
