Do Pakistani passport holders need a Dubai visa?
Most Pakistani passport holders travelling to Dubai for tourism should arrange an advance UAE visa before departure. The correct route can still depend on the passport, legal residence, travel purpose and current immigration rules.
Use the passport country as your starting point, not only the city or airport you are travelling from. When you select Pakistan in the live application, DubaiVisa.com shows the available visa route and options for the information you enter.
Which Dubai visa option should you compare?
Your stay length and travel plan should guide the choice. Review the current option shown for your application before paying. The cards below cover the most relevant short-stay routes for Pakistan travellers.
