Previously, visit visa holders (visit or tourist visa) especially job-seekers, had to leave the UAE after the expiration of their 3 months visit visa or 1-month tourist visa and then applied for new visas and air ticket, to return to the UAE for job hunting.

New Visa Rules Starting Date:
All arrangements for the new visa reforms have been put in place, people who are looking to benefit can go to Tasheel centres or the Immigration offices (Federal Authority of Identity and Citizenship) across the country and apply for the visas from 21 October 2018.

From Where and How to Extend Visit Visa’s:
Those who wish to extend their visit or tourist visas will extend it through their travel agents that applied for the original visas.

Fees to extend Visit Visa:
People wanting to extend their visit or tourist visa’s will need to pay 600 AED for each of the 30 additional days (1 Month).



Fees of Extending Visit Visa for Second Time:
As per latest rules, starting 21st October, the visit and tourist visa holders can extend their visas for second time for more 30 days at a same fee of 600 AED.

Fees to renew residency visa for Widows, divorced women and students is 100 AED for 1 Year.

  22. Highly Appreciate your blog, all the information about dubai visa, helpful resource for expats.

  23. The purpose of the UAE government in laying the reforms, specifically being able to extend your 90-day visit visa twice, is to make it easier for job seekers to stay longer in UAE; since before, the only easier option was to do a visa run, which would cost you around 1200+ for a new 30-day visa. However, if you'd look at the current prices offered by travel agencies, a 30-day renewal is usually priced at 1100aed; which is more or less the same as it was with the visa run. The only difference is that you'd don't have to board an airplane.

    It says here that the renewal fee is only 600aed, which means that travel agencies are charging around 500+aed just to process it. I think the UAE government needs to do something about it. The intention of the reform was good, but it is being taken advantaged by some.
