5-Year Multiple-Entry Visit Visa

About the programme

The UAE has opened its new 5-Year Multiple-Entry Visit Visa to travellers of all nationalities, offering unprecedented freedom to visit Dubai and the wider Emirates for tourism, family visits, or business exploration. Holders can travel in and out of the UAE as often as they like over a five-year period without a local sponsor. Each stay may extend up to 90 consecutive days, and the total time spent in the country can reach 180 days within any 12-month period. Applications are processed through the ICP or GDRFA websites and apps, Amer Centres, and Customer Happiness Centres. West Gulf Agency handles the end-to-end submission — from eligibility review and document curation to final issuance — so applicants avoid the paperwork and queuing entirely. The visa fee of AED 3,713 covers government charges, service fees, and a refundable financial guarantee.
