What a Visit Visa Covers

Getting into the UAE — and staying legally while you're here.

Visit visas let people enter the UAE for tourism, business meetings, or to see family and friends, for a limited stay. Depending on nationality, some visitors qualify for visa-on-arrival; others need to apply in advance, either independently or sponsored by a UAE resident.

Beyond the initial entry, most of the paperwork people actually need help with comes later — extending a stay before the visa runs out, converting to a longer-term status, or resolving a visa that's expired while still in the country. BAEZ handles all of these stages.

Please note: Visa validity periods, extension rules and overstay fines are set by immigration authorities and vary by nationality and visa type — we confirm current requirements and fees against your specific case rather than quoting a fixed figure.

Visit Visa FAQs

Common questions about visit visas.

How long can I stay on a visit visa?

Stay duration depends on the visa type and, for some nationalities, visa-on-arrival entitlements — these can range from short stays to longer multi-entry options. Tell us the traveller's nationality and purpose of visit and we'll confirm what applies.

Can I extend my visit visa while in the UAE?

In many cases, yes, though not every visit visa type qualifies for extension, and rules can vary. We'll check your specific visa and confirm whether an extension is possible before it expires.

What happens if my visit visa expires and I haven't left?

Overstaying typically results in a daily fine that accrues until it's settled. We can help arrange the administrative settlement of accrued fines, though we can't waive fines or guarantee a specific outcome — the earlier you address it, the fewer complications there tend to be.

Can I convert my visit visa to a residence visa without leaving?

In many cases, yes — an in-country status change can convert an eligible visit visa to a residence visa without an exit-and-return trip. This connects to our Amer Services, and we'll confirm your eligibility as part of the process.

Do I need a UAE sponsor for a visit visa?

Not always — some nationalities qualify for visa-on-arrival or can apply independently, while others need a UAE-based sponsor, whether a resident, hotel, or company. We'll confirm what route applies based on the traveller's nationality and purpose of visit.
