Tourist and Visit Visas

If you are coming to UAE without a residency or work entry permit, you will need to apply for a tourist or visit visa prior to your travel. Visa on arrival is not available to Filipinos.

You can apply for a tourist visa through licensed hotels and travel agencies. If you have a relative who is a resident of UAE, he can sponsor your visit visa for up to 90 days.

Tourist and visit visas can no longer be extended. You must exit the country and apply for a new visa to re-enter the UAE.

Tourist Visas can only be applied through licensed travel agencies and hotels while Visit Visas can be applied through your spouse or parent residing in the UAE.
