Confirm Your Passport Nationality
After selecting your country, it appears inside the nationality field. Check the selected country once more and click Continue.

Select the stay range that matches your actual travel plan. The application currently displays options such as 1–14 days, 15–30 days and 31–60 days.
Step 4: Select the stay duration that best matches your planned UAE visit.

Check the Visa Before Continuing
Review the visa duration and entry type shown on the recommendation screen. Also check the processing option and the live amount shown in your application.
If both standard and faster processing options appear, select the one that fits your travel timeline and budget.
You can also compare current visa costs on the UAE Tourist Visa Price page or learn about priority processing on the Dubai Express Visa page.
