Get a Dubai Express Visa Within 24 Hours
If your departure date is close, choose priority processing for an eligible UAE tourist visa application. Select your passport nationality and stay duration, check the Express option, upload clear documents and submit your application online.
Can You Get a Dubai Visa in 24 Hours?
Yes, eligible applicants can select Dubai Express Visa processing with a target of delivery within 24 hours. Express service gives the application priority handling; it does not remove UAE immigration checks or guarantee approval by a fixed time.
Submit a readable passport copy, a suitable photograph and all requested supporting documents at the start. A correction request can delay an urgent Dubai visa even after priority processing has been selected.

Which Visa Can Use Express Processing?
Express is a processing choice for an eligible visa application, not a separate UAE visa category. First choose the stay and entry type that match your trip, then select UAE Express Visa processing if the option appears.
14-Day Single Entry
Best for a short holiday, business visit or quick family trip when one UAE entry is enough.
View 14-Day Visa →30-Day Tourist Visa
Suitable for a longer holiday or family visit. Express availability appears after the applicant details are selected.
View 30-Day Visa →60-Day Tourist Visa
Use this option when the planned visit is longer than 30 days and the selected passport is eligible.

Choose multiple entry only when you plan to leave the UAE and return during the permitted visa period.

Documents for an Urgent Dubai Visa
Requirements can vary by passport nationality and applicant profile. Prepare these common items before you begin so the application can move to review without a basic document correction.
Standard, Express and Super Express Timing
Choose the processing level based on how soon you travel. Express service changes handling priority; the underlying visa assessment remains the same.
| Service | Current target | Best for | Important condition |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 24–72 working hours | Planned travel with extra time | Normal application handling |
| Express | Within 24 hours | Eligible urgent travel | Priority handling; approval is not guaranteed |
| Super Express | About 6–12 working hours | The closest eligible departure dates | Shown only when available for the application |
Submission time, UAE working schedules, public holidays, document corrections and additional immigration checks can extend the timeline. Do not book non-refundable travel based only on an estimated processing time.
