We've compiled every official fee category \u2014 from the humble <span class=\"kw\">96-hour UAE transit visa<\/span> to the prestigious <span class=\"kw\">10-year Golden Visa UAE<\/span> \u2014 along with the hidden costs that catch most applicants off guard. All figures are in UAE Dirhams (AED), with USD equivalents where helpful.<\/p>\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"highlight-box tip\">\r\n      <span class=\"box-label\">\u2713 Good News for 2026<\/span>\r\n      <p>The UAE government has confirmed <strong>no major visa fee increases<\/strong> for 2026.

By 2026, there are now <strong>17+ distinct visa categories<\/strong> \u2014 each with its own fee structure, eligibility criteria, and processing timeline.<\/p>\r\n\r\n    <p>Two government bodies handle most visa processing: the <span class=\"kw\">GDRFA Dubai<\/span> (General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs) for Dubai-specific visas, and the <span class=\"kw\">ICP (Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship)<\/span> for the rest of the UAE. Fees can differ slightly between the two, which is why you'll often see a fee range rather than a single number.<\/p>\r\n\r\n    <p>Your final <span class=\"kw\">Dubai visa cost 2026<\/span> is almost always higher than the base government fee, because it includes mandatory add-ons: medical insurance, Emirates ID, medical fitness tests, typing\/service charges, and VAT at 5%.

Tourist visas can be extended, provided the total stay doesn't exceed 120 days. Extension fees range from AED 250\u2013500 and must be applied for before the current visa expires to avoid overstay fines of AED 50 per day.<\/p>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"faq-item\">\r\n      <span class=\"faq-num\">Q3<\/span>\r\n      <div>\r\n        <p class=\"faq-q\">What is the cheapest UAE visa option in 2026?<\/p>\r\n        <p class=\"faq-a\">The cheapest options are the 48-hour or 96-hour transit visa at AED 50 each. For those entering the UAE, a 14-day single-entry tourist visa starting around AED 350 is the most affordable short-stay option.<\/p>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"faq-item\">\r\n      <span class=\"faq-num\">Q4<\/span>\r\n      <div>\r\n        <p class=\"faq-q\">What's the difference between the UAE Golden Visa and the Green Visa?<\/p>\r\n        <p class=\"faq-a\">The Golden Visa is a 10-year residency requiring AED 2 million in investment or exceptional professional qualifications. The Green Visa is 5-year self-sponsored residency for skilled employees (earning AED 15,000+\/month), freelancers (AED 360,000+\/year income), and investors. The Green Visa is more accessible and significantly cheaper in processing costs.<\/p>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"faq-item\">\r\n      <span class=\"faq-num\">Q5<\/span>\r\n      <div>\r\n        <p class=\"faq-q\">Are UAE visa fees the same in Dubai and Abu Dhabi?<\/p>\r\n        <p class=\"faq-a\">Not always. GDRFA handles Dubai-specific visas, while ICP covers Abu Dhabi and federal applications. Fees can differ by AED 200\u2013500 depending on the category. Medical test and typing charges may also vary slightly by location.<\/p>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"faq-item\">\r\n      <span class=\"faq-num\">Q6<\/span>\r\n      <div>\r\n        <p class=\"faq-q\">Is health insurance mandatory for UAE visas?<\/p>\r\n        <p class=\"faq-a\">Health insurance is mandatory for all UAE residence visa holders, including Golden Visa and Green Visa holders. Dubai mandates it by law; other emirates require it for most visa categories. Budget AED 600\u20132,500+ per year per person for adequate coverage.<\/p>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"faq-item\">\r\n      <span class=\"faq-num\">Q7<\/span>\r\n      <div>\r\n        <p class=\"faq-q\">How long does UAE visa processing take in 2026?<\/p>\r\n        <p class=\"faq-a\">Tourist visas processed through the ICP portal or airlines typically take 3\u20135 business days; airlines like Emirates and flydubai can do it in 24\u201348 hours.
