Why Iranian Travellers Choose Dubai
Iranians have some of the deepest ties to Dubai of any nationality. Here is the context, alongside the notice above.
A Nowruz Getaway
Persian New Year is the standout travel season for Iranian visitors, blending family time, shopping and dining, when entry is possible.
A Deep Merchant Network
With thousands of Iranian-owned businesses and one of Dubai oldest diasporas in Bur Dubai and Deira, the city has long been a trade and family hub for Iranians.
Shopping and Wellness, Two Hours Away
Dubai souks, retail and private healthcare are a short Gulf crossing from Tehran, a classic short trip for Iranian travellers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Dubai Visa FAQ for Iranian Citizens
Real questions from Iranian applicants, answered
As of early 2026, UAE carrier advisories state that Iranian nationals are currently not permitted to enter or transit the UAE, with only narrow exemptions such as UAE Golden Visa holders and immediate family of Emiratis. Rules can change quickly, so contact us to check your eligibility before applying or booking travel.
Yes. Iranian applicants, like Pakistani, Afghan and Iraqi applicants, must submit a copy of the national ID card in addition to the passport and photo. We check this for you.
Your passport must be valid at least 6 months with blank pages, and the photo should be a recent colour image, roughly 35 by 45 mm, with a plain white background, taken within the last few months.
No. Even outside the current restriction, Iranian passport holders are not eligible for visa on arrival and need a pre-approved visa.
These have long been common reasons for Iranian visits. Whether it is possible right now depends on the current entry rules, which we confirm with you first.
We offer three speeds for Iranian applicants: Standard within 12 working days, Priority within 9, and Express within 6. Times exclude weekends and UAE public holidays and start once your complete application and payment are received. From Iran, we advise applying at least 15 days before you travel.
Yes. Every Iranian traveller, including infants and minors, needs a separate eVisa application, even a child included on a parent's passport. In some cases, for Iran applicants, a birth or marriage certificate may be requested to confirm the family relationship.
Your approved eVisa arrives as a PDF by email and is also available from your visa portal. For Iranian travellers we recommend carrying a printout for airline check-in and on arrival, with a copy on your phone as a backup. This applies to every eVisa issued for Iran.
You must leave the UAE before your permitted stay ends. Since February 2026 the grace period has been removed, and a fine of AED 50 per day accrues from the day after your stay expires, so Iranian travellers from Iran should plan the departure date carefully.
No. UAEVisaOnline.ae is a private visa-assistance service operated by Travel Rox, Inc., not affiliated with the UAE government. Iranian travellers may also apply directly on the official portal at a lower cost. For applicants from Iran, our fee covers a simplified application, expert document review, error prevention, photo validation, tracking and dedicated support.
