Transit Visa (96 Hours)

The 96-hour transit visa is a short-term entry permit for travelers passing through UAE airports during a layover of 8 to 96 hours. It requires proof of onward travel and allows visitors to exit the airport and explore the country during their connection, but does not grant work authorization.

The visa is processed within 48 hours and allows up to 96 hours in the UAE. The standard fee is AED 50, though additional mediator or airline processing fees may apply depending on your application channel. The visa is non-renewable, meaning it cannot be extended once issued.

This visa is ideal for international travelers with mid-length layovers who want to make the most of their connection time without the complexity of a standard tourist visa.
