What Is a 30 Day Single Entry Dubai Visa?
A 30-day single entry Dubai visa is a short-term UAE entry permit that allows one entry into the UAE and a stay of up to 30 days. It is generally issued as a digital e-visa — no passport sticker, no embassy visit required for most nationalities. Many travellers also search for this permit as the 30 days visit visa dubai or the 30 days tourist visa dubai — these refer to the same UAE 30 day tourist visa product described on this page.
Issue validity is typically around 60 days from approval, giving you a planning window to schedule travel. Your permitted 30-day stay begins from the date you actually arrive in the UAE, not from the date the visa was issued. Always confirm exact validity terms and current Dubai visa processing time for your nationality before booking flights.
Who Typically Uses This Dubai Short-Stay Visa?
Single Entry Rule: Once you exit the UAE, this visa becomes void. If your trip includes a side trip to Oman or Bahrain, ask us about the 30 Days Multiple Entry Dubai Visa instead.

Dubai Visa Documents Typically Required for a Short-Stay Visa
Document requirements can vary by nationality and current immigration rules. Have these ready before starting your application, and check with our team if you're unsure what applies to your passport.
1. Passport Bio Page — Scanned Copy
Valid for at least 6 months from your UAE entry date. Clear colour scan, all four corners visible, including the outer passport cover.
2. Passport-Sized Photograph
Recent colour photo (within 3 months), white or plain light background, face clearly visible, no glasses. Standard size: 35mm × 45mm.
3. Accommodation Confirmation
Hotel booking confirmation or host letter if staying with friends or family in Dubai or any UAE emirate.
4. Return Flight Reservation

Additional Documents — Based on Nationality
Some applicants may be asked for extra documents depending on passport and immigration profile.
Tip: Upload clear, high-resolution colour scans. Blurry, cropped, or black-and-white uploads are a common cause of processing delays. Our team will notify you if any nationality-specific documents are needed before submission.

Dubai Visa Extension Options Inside the UAE
Tourist visas may be extendable from inside the UAE, subject to approval, visa type, sponsor, and current immigration rules. Below is a general overview — always confirm your specific eligibility with ICP or GDRFA before relying on an extension plan.
What We Know — Subject to Verification
Many 30-day tourist visas can reportedly be extended from inside the UAE without a visa run, generally up to twice, for a combined maximum stay in the region of 90 days. Rules, caps, and eligibility can differ by visa category and issuing authority (ICP vs. GDRFA Dubai), and may change without notice.
- Apply via the ICP Smart Services portal or GDRFA Dubai services before your visa expires
- GDRFA's published fee structure for a Dubai-issued extension includes a visa extension fee plus VAT, with an additional inside-country fee where the applicant is already in the UAE — see fee note below
- Submit your application before expiry; a pending application does not automatically pause the visa clock
Inside Country Visa Extension
Extend without leaving the UAE, where eligible. Ask our team about the Inside Country Visa Extension service well before your current visa expires.
A2A (Airport to Airport) Extension
Travel to a nearby destination airport and return to the UAE on a renewed visa. Sometimes used when inside-country extension isn't available. See our A2A Visa Extension page.
Extension fee note: Extension fees vary by visa type, sponsor, and immigration channel. GDRFA's service catalog lists a visa extension fee plus VAT as a separate line item from any inside-country processing charge — these are distinct fee components, not a single combined range. Always check the exact current total on the GDRFA or ICP portal before paying.
Overstay Fines — Updated 11 February 2026
Avoid overstaying your Dubai visa. UAE authorities updated unified overstay fine rules effective 11 February 2026. Confirm current figures with ICP, GDRFA, or your visa sponsor, since enforcement details can vary by case.
| Situation | Reported Fine / Fee | How to Pay |
|---|---|---|
| Daily overstay fine | AED 50 per day — applies after expiry or cancellation, following any applicable grace period | ICP Smart Services, GDRFA Dubai, or UAE Pass app |
| Overstay exceeds 30 days | AED 50/day + Exit Permit fee (reportedly ~AED 250–300) | Pay at airport or GDRFA office before departure |
We recommend settling any fines well ahead of your flight — ideally at least 48 hours before departure — to avoid delays at Dubai Airport immigration. Confirm the exact amount due with ICP or GDRFA before paying.
