VISA SERVICES DUBAI • UAE & INTERNATIONAL APPLICATION SUPPORT
Tell us which country you want to enter, the passport you hold, your UAE residence status and when you plan to travel. We’ll identify the visa route worth checking, tell you which documents matter for that route and help you move from application preparation to submission without treating every traveller like the same case.
Visa eligibility, government fees, appointment availability and supporting-document rules can change. We check the current official route for the visa you request before submission; final decisions remain with the relevant immigration authority, embassy or consulate.
START WITH THE VISA YOU ACTUALLY NEED
Use this like a visa search rather than a generic contact form. Choose the destination or UAE visa service, then give us nationality, UAE residence status, passport expiry, travel date and purpose. Those details let us check the correct application route before we ask you for documents that may not apply to your case.
Required: visa service or destination, passport nationality, current UAE location, UAE residence status, purpose, intended travel date, passport expiry, applicant count, name, phone and email. If you had a previous refusal, add the country and reason shown on the refusal letter if available.
VISA SERVICES BUILT AROUND THE ACTUAL DESTINATION
Visa requirements are not interchangeable. A UAE tourist visa, Schengen short-stay application, US interview case and Japan visitor application each follow different rules. Open the service that matches your destination so the documents, fees and application steps stay focused on that visa.
Choose the correct UAE entry route around the traveller’s nationality, sponsor position and intended stay instead of assuming every visitor needs the same visa.

WE DO NOT TREAT EVERY VISA AS THE SAME PRODUCT
The first useful question is not “how much is a visa?” but “which visa route applies to this traveller?” Government fees, sponsor rules, appointments, biometrics and processing all change by visa category. We identify that route before we quote the application support.
GDRFA currently lists AED 200 for a 30-day single-entry tourist visa and AED 300 for 60 days, plus 5% VAT. Multiple-entry tourist visas are listed at AED 300 for 30 days and AED 500 for 60 days. Additional inside-UAE charges can apply when relevant.
GDRFA currently lists AED 600 plus VAT for eligible tourist-visa extensions, with additional inside-country charges where applicable. The authority states that tourist extensions can be granted one or more times up to 120 days in total, subject to the issuing authority.
ICP’s current five-year multiple-entry tourist visa requires at least six months of passport validity, UAE-issued health insurance for 180 days and evidence of a USD 4,000 balance maintained during the previous six months. ICP lists separate application, issuance, smart-service and financial-guarantee charges.
The European Commission currently lists the standard Schengen visa fee at €90 for adults and €45 for children aged 6-12. Normal processing is 15 days and can extend to 45 days when more examination or documents are required; service-centre charges may be additional.
Official charges can change and third-party visa-centre or Orbit Sky service charges are separate from government or consular fees. We confirm the current cost for the specific visa before you proceed.
FOUR DETAILS CHANGE THE CHECKLIST BEFORE WE EVEN OPEN THE FORM
Your nationality, UAE status, passport validity and reason for travel decide far more than the page title. We use those details to decide which official channel to check and which supporting documents are genuinely relevant.
We check the destination rule against the actual expiry date. Six months is common for many routes but it is not a universal rule for every country or visa.
A valid Emirates ID or UAE residence can affect where you apply, which visa centre you use and what local proof of residence is required.
Bank statements, salary evidence or sponsor funding are assessed differently by destination. We match the proof to the trip and applicant profile instead of using one generic balance figure.
Tourism, family visits, business, transit and study can require different forms, invitations, accommodation evidence and supporting letters even for the same country.
A strong application is internally consistent: the purpose on the form matches the itinerary, finances make sense for the trip, UAE residence evidence supports where you are applying, and passport details match every booking and supporting document.
Example: GDRFA’s current Dubai tourist-visa service requires a passport valid for at least six months, a photo, an onward/exit ticket and UAE-valid medical insurance. Schengen applications instead focus on the purpose of stay, funds, accommodation, intention to return and biometrics. The checklist must follow the selected visa, not a generic template.
THE SUBMISSION CHANNEL DEPENDS ON THE VISA
Some visas are handled through UAE government channels, some through an embassy or external visa application centre, and others through an eVisa portal. We prepare the application around the route that actually applies to your nationality and destination.
Dubai entry permits and tourist visas can be handled through GDRFA routes, while ICP provides federal visa services and smart-service channels for applicable cases. Certain tourist routes require an accredited tourism establishment or another eligible sponsor.
When the destination uses an external visa application centre or consulate, the application may involve appointment booking, document submission and biometrics. We prepare the file around the destination’s current checklist and the correct main-destination jurisdiction.
Saudi Arabia, Oman, Turkey, Thailand, Australia and other destinations may use online systems for eligible applicants, while the UK, US, Canada, China, Japan and others can involve very different digital, appointment or interview steps. We check the route before collecting documents.
THE FILE SHOULD PROVE THE SAME STORY FROM START TO FINISH
We do not ask for documents only because they appear on a generic checklist. Each item should support identity, legal residence, travel purpose, funding or the reason you will return after the visit.
Names, passport number, date of birth and nationality should be consistent across the application, appointment and travel evidence. Mismatches create avoidable review problems.
For many outbound visa applications, UAE residence evidence supports jurisdiction and local ties. We check the residence expiry against the expected application and travel period.
A large balance alone does not explain an application. Salary, business activity, account history, trip cost and who is paying should tell a consistent story for the planned journey.
Hotel bookings, invitations, meeting details, family-host documents and travel insurance should support the declared reason for travel rather than contradict it.
Do not purchase non-refundable travel arrangements only to make an application look complete unless the responsible authority specifically requires a confirmed purchase. We distinguish between a reservation, supporting itinerary and a fully paid booking according to the visa route.
WE HELP WITH THE STEPS A CHECKLIST ALONE DOES NOT SOLVE
A correct document file can still fail to move if the form is inconsistent, the wrong visa centre is selected or an appointment requirement is missed. We keep those operational steps connected to the application.
We organise the applicant details so names, dates, purpose, employment and travel information stay consistent with the documents being submitted.
Photo size, background, age and format can differ by destination. We check the current specification for the selected visa rather than using one photo rule everywhere.
For Schengen applications, fingerprints are normally collected at submission, with specific exemptions and rules for fingerprints already in the Visa Information System. Other destinations use their own biometric rules.
Where an appointment is part of the process, we help you understand the correct centre, applicant category and documents to carry. Appointment availability itself is controlled by the official provider.
If the visa requires travel medical insurance, the policy dates, territory and coverage need to match the current rule for that destination and trip.
After submission, we use the official tracking route available for that application and explain the next step once a decision or passport-collection update is issued.
Biometrics, interviews and personal appearance cannot be completed by a travel agency on your behalf when the authority requires the applicant to attend. We prepare you for that step and keep the file consistent with the appointment.
A VISA REFUSAL IS USUALLY ABOUT THE FILE, THE ROUTE OR THE EVIDENCE
No agency can guarantee approval, but many avoidable problems can be found before submission. We look for gaps that make the purpose, finances or applicant circumstances difficult for the decision-maker to understand.
A tourism application with business activity, a transit request that does not fit the itinerary or the wrong Schengen main destination can put the file on the wrong route before the evidence is even assessed.
Dates, employers, addresses, sponsors and trip purpose should agree across the form, letters, bank records, hotel evidence and invitation documents.
Decision-makers can look at whether the planned trip is credible for the applicant’s finances and circumstances. We focus on evidence that explains the trip rather than adding random documents.
Appointment availability, biometrics, additional-document requests and extended processing can all consume time. A last-minute file can be complete and still miss the intended travel date.
A previous refusal does not automatically mean the next application will fail. The useful starting point is the actual refusal reason, what has changed since that decision and whether a fresh application or appeal route is appropriate for that visa system.
FROM VISA SEARCH TO SUBMISSION
Our job is to move your case through the right sequence: identify the visa, build the correct evidence, complete the application accurately and prepare you for any appointment or biometric step before the authority makes its decision.
Send the visa needed, nationality, UAE status, passport expiry, intended travel date, purpose and applicant count. These details determine which route we check first.
We separate government or consular fees, visa-centre charges where applicable and Orbit Sky service cost so you know what is being paid for before the application proceeds.
We check the form data against passport details, UAE residence, financial evidence, employment or sponsor documents, itinerary, invitation and insurance where the selected route requires them.
Where agency submission is permitted, we proceed through the relevant channel. Where personal attendance, fingerprints or an interview are required, we prepare the applicant for that official step.
We follow the available official tracking route, help with additional-document requests when they arise and explain the next step after approval, passport return or refusal.
Send nationality, UAE residence status and your intended travel date. We’ll start by checking the route instead of asking you to collect an entire document pack blindly.
QUESTIONS THAT CHANGE WHAT YOU NEED TO SUBMIT
These answers focus on application decisions we handle every day: which route applies, what the current fee actually belongs to, whether biometrics are needed, how UAE residence affects the file and what happens after submission.
We handle UAE visa enquiries including visit, transit, extension and status-change cases, plus outbound travel-visa applications for Schengen countries, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, the UK, US, Canada, Australia, Turkey, Japan, China, Thailand, Singapore and New Zealand. The exact service depends on your nationality, UAE status and travel purpose.
For GDRFA Dubai’s current tourist-visa service, the authority lists AED 200 for a 30-day single-entry visa and AED 300 for a 60-day single-entry visa, plus 5% VAT. Multiple-entry equivalents are currently listed at AED 300 and AED 500. Additional charges can apply if the sponsored person is already inside the UAE, and Orbit Sky service charges are separate. We reconfirm the current amount before applying.
GDRFA currently publishes an expected completion time of 48 hours for its single-entry and multiple-entry tourist visa services when the conditions and documents are met. Actual timing can vary with the applicant, authority review and missing or additional information, so do not treat 48 hours as a guaranteed approval deadline.
We can check whether your current entry permit is eligible for extension and which authority issued it. GDRFA currently lists an AED 600 extension fee plus VAT for its tourist-visa extension service, with additional inside-country charges where applicable, and states extensions can be granted up to 120 days in total subject to the issuing authority.
The European Commission currently lists the standard short-stay Schengen visa fee at €90 for adults and €45 for children aged 6 to 12, with reduced or waived fees for certain categories. A visa application centre may charge an additional service fee. Our own application-support fee is quoted separately.
The European Commission states that normal Schengen processing is 15 days and may extend to 45 days when a more detailed examination or additional documents are required. Appointment availability is separate from processing time, so the practical timeline starts before the day you submit.
Fingerprints are generally collected when a Schengen application is submitted, with exemptions for specific applicant categories. Under the Schengen Visa Code, fingerprints already stored in the Visa Information System from a previous application can generally be copied when they were first collected less than 59 months before the new application, although a consulate can still request new fingerprints in certain situations.
The starting set is usually the passport, UAE residence evidence, photo and applicant details. Depending on the country and purpose, we may then need bank statements, salary or business evidence, travel insurance, hotel or host details, itinerary, invitation letters, previous travel history or destination-specific forms. We only confirm the final checklist after checking the selected visa route.
No. Approval is made by the immigration authority, embassy or consulate responsible for that visa. We help select the correct route, prepare the application accurately, organise supporting evidence and reduce avoidable errors, but we do not present approval as guaranteed.
Often yes, but the previous refusal should be reviewed before a new application. Send the destination, approximate refusal date and the reason given on the decision letter if you have it. We can then look at whether the issue can be addressed in a fresh application or whether another process applies.
