Dubai Visa FAQ for Botswana Citizens
Real questions from Botswana applicants, answered
Yes. Botswana passport holders need a pre-arranged UAE tourist eVisa. Some visa-agency sites wrongly claim visa on arrival, but Botswana is not on the UAE visa-on-arrival list, so you must apply in advance.
Botswana applicants need a passport valid at least six months, a recent photo, a confirmed return or onward ticket, and UAE accommodation details. We tell you if your case calls for extra proof of funds.
