Dubai remains one of the most popular short-trip destinations for Pakistani travellers — for tourism, family visits, and business. Here's what Pakistani passport holders need to know before applying.
Common Visa Types
- 30-day visit visa — single entry, ideal for short tourism or family trips
- 60-day visit visa — single entry, suited to longer stays or medical/business visits
- 96-hour transit visa — for short layovers in the UAE
Documents Required
- Passport valid for at least 6 months with at least one blank page
- Recent passport-size photograph (white background)
- Confirmed return flight ticket
- Hotel booking or UAE host's Emirates ID and sponsorship letter (if staying with family/friends)
- Bank statement showing sufficient funds for the trip
- Employment letter or business documents, where applicable
Validity & Processing Time
Most Dubai visit visas are processed within 3–5 working days once a complete application is submitted. The visa is typically valid for entry within 60 days of issue, with the stay duration (30 or 60 days) starting from the date you actually enter the UAE.
Tips for a Smooth Application
- Double-check your passport has enough validity remaining before applying — this is the most common reason for delays.
- Keep your bank statement recent and consistent with your declared income source.
- If travelling for business, carry a formal invitation letter from the UAE-based company alongside your visa.
- Apply at least 2–3 weeks before your intended travel date to allow buffer time for processing.
