UAE Stops Issuing Three-Month Visit Visa

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has suspended issuance of three-month- visit visa. The matter was confirmed by a Federal Authority For Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security (ICP) call centre executive.

“The three-month entry permit was available a few months ago, but not anymore.” he stated. “Visitors to the UAE can come on a 30- or 60-day visa.” the executive added. Furthermore, travel agents also confirmed the development to Khaleej Times.

They said that option to request a three-month visit visa to UAE was unavailable on the portal they use to issue permits. The three-month visa was initially discontinued during the COVID-19 pandemic, with the 60-day option introduced instead.

However, the three-month scheme was instated in May.

Despite the suspension of the three-month visit visa, the first degree relatives of Dubai residents can still avail a three-month (90 days) visa.
