Entertainment Visit Visa

The Entertainment Visit Visa is a specialized entry permit for performers, musicians, artists, and technical production crews engaging in short-term UAE entertainment activities. Applicants must be sponsored by a UAE-licensed entertainment entity. Passports must be valid for at least six months from entry. No specific education or work experience requirements apply.

Stays range from 30 to 90 days; work authorization is limited to the sponsored engagement. Processing takes 3 to 5 business days. Fees are approximately AED 600 plus VAT and service charges. Applicants must provide proof of accommodation, health insurance, and return travel. The sponsor submits applications through the ICP or GDRFA portal after registering the visitor.

This visa is ideal for international entertainment professionals—performers, musicians, artists, and production crew members—seeking temporary entry for cultural engagements in the UAE.
