2026<\/a><\/li>\r\n <\/ol>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <article>\r\n\r\n <p class=\"lead\">Planning your trip or relocation to the UAE and wondering exactly how much you'll pay? Whether you're a first-time tourist eyeing a Dubai getaway, a freelancer considering the <span class=\"kw\">UAE Green Visa<\/span>, or an investor pursuing the coveted <span class=\"kw\">UAE Golden Visa<\/span>, understanding the <span class=\"kw\">UAE visa fees 2026<\/span> is the smartest first step you can take \u2014 before you book a single flight.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <p>This guide cuts through the confusion. 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. Digital processing has also been enhanced, meaning faster approvals through the UAE Smart Services portal and GDRFA online platforms.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"section-eyebrow\">Section \u00a701<\/div>\r\n <h2 class=\"section-title\" id=\"intro\">Why UAE Visa Fees Are Different in 2026<\/h2>\r\n\r\n <p>The UAE's visa landscape has evolved dramatically since 2022, when sweeping residency reforms introduced new long-term options like the Green Visa and expanded Golden Visa eligibility. 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%. We'll break all of these down clearly.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"section-eyebrow\">Section \u00a702<\/div>\r\n <h2 class=\"section-title\" id=\"tourist\">UAE Tourist Visa Fees 2026<\/h2>\r\n\r\n <p>The <span class=\"kw\">UAE tourist visa<\/span> is available in single-entry and multiple-entry formats, across 14-, 30-, 60-, and 90-day durations. It's the most popular visa category, and also one of the most misunderstood \u2014 many travellers see only the base fee and miss the mandatory refundable deposit.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"fee-table-wrap\">\r\n <table class=\"fee-table\">\r\n <thead><tr><th>Visa Type<\/th><th>Duration<\/th><th>Approx.

Extension fees typically range from <strong>AED 250\u2013500<\/strong>, depending on the emirate and remaining validity. Overstaying without extension incurs a fine of <strong>AED 50 per day<\/strong> \u2014 avoid this at all costs, as it can result in travel bans and future visa rejections.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"section-eyebrow\">Section \u00a703<\/div>\r\n <h2 class=\"section-title\" id=\"transit\">UAE Transit Visa Cost 2026<\/h2>\r\n\r\n <p>Passing through Dubai or Abu Dhabi on a long layover?

A 90-day multiple-entry tourist visa ranges from AED 900\u20131,200.

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.

2026<\/a><\/li>\r\n <\/ol>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <article>\r\n\r\n <p class=\"lead\">Planning your trip or relocation to the UAE and wondering exactly how much you'll pay? Whether you're a first-time tourist eyeing a Dubai getaway, a freelancer considering the <span class=\"kw\">UAE Green Visa<\/span>, or an investor pursuing the coveted <span class=\"kw\">UAE Golden Visa<\/span>, understanding the <span class=\"kw\">UAE visa fees 2026<\/span> is the smartest first step you can take \u2014 before you book a single flight.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <p>This guide cuts through the confusion. 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. Digital processing has also been enhanced, meaning faster approvals through the UAE Smart Services portal and GDRFA online platforms.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"section-eyebrow\">Section \u00a701<\/div>\r\n <h2 class=\"section-title\" id=\"intro\">Why UAE Visa Fees Are Different in 2026<\/h2>\r\n\r\n <p>The UAE's visa landscape has evolved dramatically since 2022, when sweeping residency reforms introduced new long-term options like the Green Visa and expanded Golden Visa eligibility. 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%. We'll break all of these down clearly.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"section-eyebrow\">Section \u00a702<\/div>\r\n <h2 class=\"section-title\" id=\"tourist\">UAE Tourist Visa Fees 2026<\/h2>\r\n\r\n <p>The <span class=\"kw\">UAE tourist visa<\/span> is available in single-entry and multiple-entry formats, across 14-, 30-, 60-, and 90-day durations. It's the most popular visa category, and also one of the most misunderstood \u2014 many travellers see only the base fee and miss the mandatory refundable deposit.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"fee-table-wrap\">\r\n <table class=\"fee-table\">\r\n <thead><tr><th>Visa Type<\/th><th>Duration<\/th><th>Approx.

Overstaying without extension incurs a fine of <strong>AED 50 per day<\/strong> \u2014 avoid this at all costs, as it can result in travel bans and future visa rejections.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"section-eyebrow\">Section \u00a703<\/div>\r\n <h2 class=\"section-title\" id=\"transit\">UAE Transit Visa Cost 2026<\/h2>\r\n\r\n <p>Passing through Dubai or Abu Dhabi on a long layover?

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.
