Before you start
What You Need to Apply
Just your passport plus a few essentials. Have these ready and you are done in minutes.
👤 Passport
- Valid 6+ months from arrival
- Clear scan of the photo page
- Apply and travel on the same passport
📷 Photo
- Recent, taken within 6 months
- Plain white background
- Full face, neutral expression
✈️ Travel details
- Confirmed onward or return ticket
- Accommodation: hotel or host address
- Your planned arrival date
💳 Payment
- Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover
- Apple Pay, Google Pay, UnionPay
- Billed in USD, all-inclusive
Usually not required: for standard tourism you do not need bank statements or proof of funds, travel medical insurance, a letter of invitation, or an embassy visit, and the whole process is online with no paperwork by post. In special cases, UAE immigration may still request additional documents such as proof of funds, and we will let you know in advance if that applies to you.
Behind the scenes
What Happens After You Pay
Four checkpoints between your payment and your approved eVisa.
Within minutes
Confirmation email sent
Your reference number lands in your inbox the moment payment clears.
Within hours
An expert reviews your file
We check your photo, passport bio, name spelling and travel dates. Any issue is flagged on WhatsApp so it can be fixed before submission.
Same day
Submitted to UAE immigration
Your application is filed with the UAE authorities, and you can track its status by email or on WhatsApp.
From 6 working days
eVisa delivered by email
Your approved eVisa arrives in your inbox with your Unified Number. Save it to your phone and keep a printed backup.
On arrival
Using Your UAE eVisa at the Border
No separate counter, no airport fee. Everything was handled online.
Have your eVisa ready
A digital copy on your phone is accepted. Keep a printed copy as a backup.
Show it at airline check-in
Most carriers verify your visa before issuing your boarding pass.
Present it at UAE immigration
Show your eVisa alongside your passport. Your Unified Number is on file, and the officer stamps you in.
No airport visa fee
Everything was paid online, so there is nothing extra to pay on arrival.
Stay within your window
Enter within 60 days of issue, and stay up to 30 or 60 days depending on your visa. Exit before it expires to avoid the AED 50 per day overstay fine.
Main entry airports
Dubai - DXB
Abu Dhabi - AUH
Sharjah - SHJ
Ras Al Khaimah - RKT
Your eVisa is valid at every UAE entry point, by air, land or sea. Your accommodation and onward ticket may be checked on arrival.
What to avoid
Common Reasons Applications Get Delayed
Approval runs around 98% for eligible travellers. Here is what trips up the rest, and how our review prevents it.
Photo does not meet spec
Off-white background, glasses, a smile, low resolution, or a face that is not centred. A very common cause of rejection.
Name does not match passport
A typo, a missing middle name, or a different order. Immigration cross-checks every character against your passport.
Passport under 6 months validity
Your passport must be valid at least 6 months past your arrival date. Renew it first if it is close to expiring.
Wrong passport number or nationality
Even one digit off can trigger a rejection. Double-check both before you submit.
Blurry or incomplete passport scan
A cut-off or low-quality photo page slows verification. Upload a clear, full image.
Photo and passport do not match
An outdated photo, a heavy filter, or a very different look. Use a recent photo that resembles your passport bio page.
Prior overstay or immigration ban
A past UAE overstay, absconding case or active ban flagged in records. Contact us before applying so we can advise.
Duplicate application
Multiple applications under different names or passports are flagged automatically. Apply once per traveller.
Our review catches most of these before submission. If your file has a flag, we message you on WhatsApp to fix it. No silent refusals.
