Overview

Multiple-entry tourism permit valid for 5 years with 90-day visits, no local sponsor required, and 2-day processing.

The multiple-entry tourist visa allows frequent visitors, business travelers, and tourists to enter and exit the UAE multiple times within a 5-year validity period without reapplying. This visa simplifies repeated travel, eliminating the need for a new permit after each departure—a significant convenience for those visiting regularly for leisure or professional purposes.

Applicants must hold a passport valid for at least six months and provide proof of a $4,000 USD bank balance. Visitors may stay up to 90 days per entry, extendable for an additional 90 days (180 days maximum per calendar year). A valid health insurance policy applicable in the UAE is required. Processing takes 5-10 working days, with costs typically ranging from $150–$200 USD.

This visa is ideal for frequent business travelers and tourism enthusiasts who regularly visit the UAE and want to avoid the administrative burden of single-entry visas.
