The UAE has expanded its visa services to make it easier for tourists, investors and talents to visit the country. One such visa type is the multiple entry tourist visa.
If you have at least $4,000 (Dh14,680) in your bank account, you qualify for the UAE’s multiple entry tourist visa. Here’s all you need to know:
It is a tourist visa that is valid for five years and allows you to stay in the UAE for up to 90 days per year.
Yes. The multi-entry tourist visa can be extended for a further 90 days, allowing you to stay in the country for up to 180 days per visit.
No. The multi-entry tourist visa is issued without a sponsor or guarantor.
This type of tourist visa can be issued for all nationalities, provided they meet the criteria.
To obtain this visa, the applicant must have a bank balance of $4,000 or its equivalent in foreign currencies during the last six months, a health insurance policy applicable in UAE, a return ticket and proof of accommodation in the UAE.
Applicants must submit a colored photo, passport copy, medical insurance, bank statement, tour programme and their airline ticket.

Children under the age of 18 can get a free tourist visa if they are accompanied by adults on their visit between July 15 to September 15 each year. Females below the age of 18 are not eligible to apply for this type of visa unless they are travelling with their parents.
You can contact your airline to arrange for a tourist visa. Licensed travel agencies and hotels in the UAE can also arrange for a tourist visa.
