Overview

Multiple-entry tourism visa for the UAE valid for 5 years, allowing up to 90-day visits per entry and 180 days annually.

This 5-year multiple-entry visa allows frequent tourists to visit the UAE repeatedly without applying for each trip. It requires proof of financial stability (minimum AED 14,700 in savings) and valid health insurance coverage.

The visa permits stays of up to 90 days per entry with a maximum of 180 days annually. Processing takes 2–10 working days. Total fees start at AED 3,700, comprising a government fee of AED 700 and a refundable security deposit of AED 3,000. The visa is non-renewable; extensions require a new application. Spouses and dependents must apply separately.

This visa is ideal for frequent business travelers and leisure visitors from countries worldwide who need regular access to the UAE without the administrative burden of repeated visa applications.
