Frequently Asked Questions
How long can I stay in the UAE on a tourist visa?
UAE tourist visas may allow stays of 30, 60 or 90 days, depending on the visa category, nationality and issuing authority. Extensions are subject to approval and applicable rules.
Can I apply for a UAE tourist visa directly at the embassy?
UAE tourist visas are generally not applied for through embassies. Applications are processed through licensed tourism establishments or other authorised UAE visa channels. Rudder coordinates applications through an authorised partner.
What happens if my UAE tourist visa expires before I leave?
Overstaying may result in fines and other immigration consequences. Contact us before expiry to check whether an extension or status-change option is available through the authorised partner.
