How much is the Dubai visit visa price from Pakistan in 2026?
The Dubai visit visa price from Pakistan starts with an official fee of AED 210 for a 30-day single-entry tourist visa and AED 315 for 60 days, as listed by GDRFA Dubai on 13 October 2026. The price you are quoted in PKR will be higher, because three further items are added:
- UAE health insurance. GDRFA lists valid UAE health insurance as a condition of the visa. The sponsor buys it. For the relative-sponsored visa, GDRFA lists insurance at AED 40 (30 days), AED 60 (60 days) and AED 90 (90 days). Tourism companies do not publish their insurance price.
- The UAE sponsor's charge. Only a UAE-licensed tourism company can sponsor a standard tourist visa, and it adds its own fee.
- The Pakistani agent's service fee. This is our fee, shown separately in the table above.
GDRFA itself notes that the total "may vary" with the applicant's circumstances. That is why the honest way to price a Dubai visa is: official fee, plus listed extras, plus a service fee, each shown on its own line.
Chapter 03
How much does a Dubai visa cost through ICP (Abu Dhabi and other emirates)?
The federal ICP charges a set of components rather than one figure. Its service page lists an application fee of AED 100, a visit visa issuance fee of AED 100 and a smart service fee of AED 100 for a visa sponsored by a tourism establishment (ICP). Your sponsor decides whether to file in Dubai (GDRFA) or federally (ICP). Your visa is valid for entry at any UAE airport either way.
Chapter 04
What does the Dubai 5-year visa cost from Pakistan?
The Dubai 5-year multiple-entry tourist visa costs AED 3,713.50 in total according to GDRFA, of which AED 3,000 is a refundable security deposit. The breakdown on 13 October 2026:
| Component | AED |
|---|---|
| Application fee | 100 |
| Issuance fee | 500 |
| Security deposit (refundable) | 3,000 |
| Deposit service fee | 21 |
| Deposit collection and return fee | 20 |
| Knowledge Dirham | 10 |
| Innovation Dirham | 10 |
| Service fee | 52.50 |
| Total | 3,713.50 |
You also need a 6-month bank statement showing USD 4,000 or equivalent, health insurance and a return ticket (GDRFA). Each stay can last up to 90 days, with a maximum of 180 days a year. Violations are fined at departure and the deposit is forfeited.
Chapter 05
How much does a relative-sponsored Dubai visit visa cost?
If a resident relative or friend in Dubai sponsors you, GDRFA lists fees of AED 300 (30 days), AED 500 (60 days) or AED 700 (90 days), plus 5% VAT, for a multiple-entry visit visa (GDRFA). On top of that come:
- a refundable security deposit of AED 2,000
- a deposit service fee of AED 20 and a collection fee of AED 40
- health insurance of AED 40, 60 or 90
The resident sponsor pays these and gets the deposit back after you leave. Under ICP, the deposit is AED 1,000 for single entry and AED 2,000 for multiple entry. Sponsors need a minimum monthly salary: AED 4,000 for first-degree relatives, AED 8,000 for second- and third-degree relatives and AED 15,000 for friends (ICP).
Chapter 06
Do Pakistani agents take a security deposit for a Dubai visa?
The UAE government charges no security deposit on a standard tourism-company tourist visa. GDRFA states this on both the single- and multiple-entry pages. Some agents in Pakistan ask travellers for their own refundable deposit, because the UAE sponsor is penalised if a visitor overstays. If an agent asks you for one:
- get the amount, the refund conditions and the refund date in writing, on letterhead
- do not confuse it with the government fee
We will tell you before you pay whether our sponsor requires a refundable deposit for your profile.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Dubai visit visa price from Pakistan in October 2026?
The official GDRFA Dubai fee is AED 210 for a 30-day single-entry tourist visa and AED 315 for a 60-day one, including 5% VAT, as of 13 October 2026. Mandatory UAE health insurance, the UAE sponsor's charge and the Pakistani agent's service fee are added on top, so the final PKR price is higher than the government fee.
Is the Dubai visa fee different for Pakistanis?
No. The official GDRFA and ICP fees are the same for every nationality. Pakistani applicants must also submit a CNIC copy, and sponsors may ask them for more documents, but the government fee does not change.
How much is a Dubai multiple entry visa for Pakistanis?
GDRFA Dubai lists AED 300 for a 30-day multiple-entry tourist visa and AED 500 for 60 days, plus 5% VAT (AED 315 and AED 525), as of 13 October 2026. There is no security deposit on this visa type.
How much is the Dubai 5-year visa from Pakistan?
GDRFA lists a total of AED 3,713.50 for the 5-year multiple-entry tourist visa, which includes a refundable AED 3,000 security deposit. You also need a bank balance of USD 4,000 or equivalent over the last six months.
Is there a security deposit for a Dubai visit visa?
Not on the standard tourist visa sponsored by a tourism company, according to GDRFA. A deposit applies when a resident relative or friend sponsors you (AED 1,000 single entry or AED 2,000 multiple entry under ICP) and on the 5-year visa (AED 3,000).
How much is a 3-month Dubai visit visa?
There is no 90-day tourist visa sold by tourism companies; their visas are 30 or 60 days. A resident relative or friend can sponsor a 90-day multiple-entry visit visa for AED 700 plus 5% VAT, plus a security deposit and insurance (GDRFA).
Why do Pakistani agents quote such different Dubai visa prices?
Because they bundle the government fee, insurance, the UAE sponsor's charge and their own margin into one figure, and some still quote 2023–2024 prices. Ask any agent to show the official fee separately from their service fee.
What is the fine for overstaying a Dubai visit visa?
ICP lists a fine of AED 50 for each day you stay after your visit visa expires. An overstay also damages future UAE applications and can lead to a ban.
