Dubai Visa for Western Sahara Travellers: Check Options & Apply
Need a Dubai visa from Western Sahara? Send us the details of the passport or travel document you will use, where you live and when you plan to travel. Our team can check whether we can assist with your UAE tourist visa application and which stay options are available before you pay.
The document you actually present for travel matters more than your departure location. Do not select another passport nationality in an application simply because you live in Western Sahara.
Do Travellers From Western Sahara Need a Dubai Visa?
UAE entry requirements depend on the passport or travel document used for the trip, along with any qualifying residence status. If your document requires an advance tourist visa, arrange an approved entry permission before departure. If you hold a different passport, its own entry rules apply.
For example, a traveller leaving from Western Sahara with a Moroccan passport should give us the Moroccan passport details. Someone using another national passport or a non-standard travel document needs that specific document checked first.

How to Apply From Western Sahara
- Send your document details. Tell our team the document type, issuing country, residence country and intended travel date.
- Confirm the route. We will check whether DubaiVisa.com can assist with an application for that document and which tourist visa options are available.
- Choose your visa. If your document is supported, select the appropriate stay length, entry type and available processing option.
- Complete the application. Enter your details exactly as printed on the document, upload the requested files and review the final amount before paying.

Do not enter Morocco or another nationality in the Get Visa form unless that is the nationality shown on the passport you will use. If your document is not listed, contact us before submitting payment.
Processing and Travel Planning
Processing begins once a supported application and complete, readable documents are accepted. Additional document checks or immigration review can change the timeline. Ask for the processing option available to your document before making non-refundable plans.
A tourist visa is for a temporary visit; it does not permit employment. Follow the entry window, permitted stay and number of entries printed on the visa that is actually issued.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I apply for a Dubai visa from Western Sahara?
You can request an eligibility check. Share the type and issuing country of the passport or travel document you will use. We will confirm whether DubaiVisa.com can assist before you submit payment.
Is “Western Sahara” an option in the DubaiVisa.com application?
We could not confirm a Western Sahara nationality option in the public form. Do not select another country unless it matches your actual passport nationality. Contact our team to check your document first.
What if I have a Moroccan passport and live in Western Sahara?
Give your Moroccan passport details when checking the visa route. Your place of residence and your passport nationality are different pieces of information.
Can I apply with a Sahrawi or other non-standard travel document?
Do not assume that a national-passport visa option accepts a different travel document. Send the issuing authority and document type for a review before booking or paying.
How much does a Dubai tourist visa cost?
DubaiVisa.com’s published starting prices include US$140 for 14-day single entry, US$165 for 30-day single entry and US$180 for 60-day single entry. These prices do not establish eligibility for your particular document. Confirm the available option and final amount first.
Can I use one UAE tourist visa to visit Dubai and Abu Dhabi?
Generally, an issued UAE tourist visa permits travel between the emirates during its allowed stay, subject to the visa’s conditions and admission decisions.
Is approval guaranteed after I pay?
No. DubaiVisa.com can assist with an eligible application, but the relevant UAE authorities decide visa issuance and entry.
