Whether your intent is exploration, relaxation or conducting business, this visa ensures you can soak up all Dubai offers. The Dubai tourist visa accommodates single and multiple entries, depending on your application specifics. It is pertinent to note that applicants for the Dubai tourist visa must be aged 18 or older.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And female adventurers below the age of 18 are only accorded eligibility for this visa if they are under the watchful eyes of their parents or legally appointed guardians. The price range for these tourist visas is between AED 250 and AED 1,740. Regarding documents, a bank statement showcasing a balance of at least $4,000 becomes necessary for securing this visa.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dubai_Transit_Visa\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dubai Transit Visa<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Dubai Transit Visa is the perfect solution for voyagers amid lengthy layovers at Dubai International Airport. If you&#8217;re not entitled to visa-free entry or a visa upon arrival, this UAE transit visa can bridge the gap. Depending on your needs, you can choose between a 48-hour or a 96-hour version in two formats. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, extending the 48-hour transit visa to the 96-hour version is impossible once granted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whilst the shorter, 48-hour Dubai transit visa comes at no cost, you&#8217;ll need to shell out AED 50 for the 96-hour variant.
