Each traveller, including children, needs a separate eVisa application. Dual nationals must enter and leave the UAE on the same passport used to apply. Some cases may require additional documents.
⚠️ Plan your exit date. Since February 2026 the overstay grace period has been removed. A fine of AED 50 per day accrues from the day after your permitted stay ends, so make sure you leave the UAE in time.

Why Eritrean Travellers Choose Dubai
For Eritreans the UAE is a family and Red Sea trade link. Here is the honest picture.
A Small, Established Community
A few thousand Eritreans live in Dubai, Sharjah and Ajman, so travel is largely family visits and trade rather than tourism.
Red Sea Trade Links
Active Dubai and Asmara trade in foodstuffs, seafood, coffee and minerals gives a business reason to travel.
Honest, Documented Applications
We prepare a complete file and are upfront about vetting and exit-permit realities, rather than promising the impossible.
