How can we help?

It depends on your passport. GCC citizens need no visa; many other passports, including the UK, US and EU, get a free visa on arrival. Everyone else needs a visa before they fly. Use the nationality check to see which applies to you.

No. We are a private, licensed visa assistance company in Dubai, Brillsmac Consultants and Tourism L.L.C-FZ (licence 2648704.01). We check your documents, prepare and submit your application and support you until the visa arrives. You can also apply directly on the official UAE portal, u.ae, for less.

Pick the length that covers your whole stay. For a stay of up to a month, the 30-day tourist visa covers it. If you will leave and re-enter the UAE, for example for a trip to Oman, choose a multiple-entry visa. For a layover of up to four days, the 96-hour transit visa is enough.

For most visas: a recent face photo on a white background, a scan of your passport bio page and a photo of your passport cover. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your arrival date. Transit visas also need a confirmed onward ticket.

A recent colour photo, taken in the last 6 months, on a plain white background, in passport-photo size (35 × 45 mm). Show your head and the top of your shoulders, with your face filling most of the photo. Look straight at the camera with a neutral expression, eyes open and mouth closed. No glasses, caps or filters. A religious head covering is fine if your whole face is visible.

Standard processing takes 2–3 working days once we have your payment and correct documents. With express processing, we aim for a decision within 24 working hours. Public holidays and extra checks by immigration can add time, so apply at least a week before you fly if you can.

An optional extra, +$50 per traveller on top of the visa price. Your application is prioritised and we aim for a decision within 24 working hours of correct documents.

We email your eVisa as a PDF. Print a copy or keep it on your phone. Airlines may ask to see it at check-in, and immigration can check it on arrival.

Cancel before we submit and we refund what you paid, minus a $50 handling fee per application. After we submit, or if the visa is refused, there’s no refund.

Enter the UAE within 60 days of the issue date shown on your eVisa. Your stay, for example 30 days, is counted from the day you enter, not the day the visa is issued. There is no grace period: leave by the last day of your stay or extend before it ends.
