The five-year visa enables tourists to enter multiple times

on self-sponsorship and remain in the country for 90 days
on each visit, which can be extended for another 90 days.
Applicants have to pay Dh650 to apply for the visa via ICA.

Heads of tourist agencies in the UAE have confirmed the

availability of the multi-entry tourist visa to Khaleej Times.

not been awarded to travel agencies. Documents,
including bank statements of the applicant, can be
uploaded directly on the websites -- and it is the discretion
of the immigration authority to award the visa to the
applicant or not.”
