Dubai Visa for UK BRP Holder with Pakistani Passport – 2026 Guide
A clear guide to UAE visa eligibility, recent approval trends, current prices, required documents and the online application process for Pakistani passport holders legally residing in the United Kingdom.ℹ️
BRP terminology changed in the UK
Physical UK Biometric Residence Permits have been replaced by digital eVisas. “UK BRP holder” remains a commonly searched phrase, but applicants should normally provide evidence of their current UK immigration status through their UKVI eVisa, share code or another accepted document. Keep your current passport linked to your UKVI account before travelling. See the official UK eVisa guidance.
Do UK Residents with Pakistani Passports Need a Dubai Visa?
Yes. Pakistani passport holders generally need a pre-approved UAE visa before travelling to Dubai, even when they legally reside in the United Kingdom.
A UK eVisa, share code or other accepted evidence of immigration status helps demonstrate lawful UK residence. It does not provide visa-free entry to the UAE and does not guarantee visa approval. Every application is reviewed individually by the relevant UAE immigration authority.Online application
