Why apply through OYA?

One mistake in a letter or a number… could cost you the entire visa fee

An application can be rejected, or its fees lost, because of a small mistake: a letter in the name that does not match the passport, a missing digit, a swapped date, or a photo of the wrong size. Government fees are usually not refundable. That is why we submit your UAE (Dubai) visa application for you and prepare your file correctly from the start.

  • We fill in the application for youand match every letter and number to your passport before submitting.
  • We review photos and documentsagainst the official specifications, so the file is not rejected over a formality.
  • We organize your file correctlyand complete the bookings and paperwork required for your type of visa.
  • We follow your application until the decisionand send you the e-visa on WhatsApp as soon as it is issued.

OYA Tourism is a private travel agency, not a government body. Our service fee is modest, and we explain it to you separately from the official fees before we start; the final decision rests with the competent authority alone.

Overview

UAE tourist visas are issued through licensed tourism establishments inside the country or through UAE airlines, for periods of 30, 60 or 90 days, for single or multiple entry, as announced by the Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship. Our role is to prepare your application in full and follow up its submission through the approved channels. The approval decision rests with the competent UAE authorities alone.

Eligibility is determined by the nationality of the passport, not the country of residence. A Turkish residence permit (ikamet) does not by itself change the type of visa available to you, although it supports your file. So we always start by asking about your nationality and situation, whether you are looking for the UAE visa for residents of Turkey who are Syrian, Iraqi or Egyptian, or you are a Turkish citizen.

The file usually requires a hotel booking or host details, a round-trip ticket and health insurance valid inside the UAE, and we arrange all of that for you. We can also book your flights and hotels in Dubai and Abu Dhabi as one organized trip.

For frequent travelers, the UAE offers a 5-year multiple-entry tourist visa without a sponsor, with a stay of up to 90 days per visit and a maximum of 180 days per year. The official authorities require proof of financial means, UAE health insurance and a refundable financial guarantee.

Who can apply?

  • Residents of Turkey of various Arab nationalities (Syrian, Iraqi, Egyptian, Jordanian and others); eligibility is assessed according to the nationality of the passport.
  • Turkish citizens: most sources indicate that they need a visa in advance before travel, and we check this before every application.
  • Citizens of the Gulf Cooperation Council countries do not need a visa; a passport or ID card is enough.
  • Relatives and friends of UAE residents, through a visit visa sponsored by the resident.
  • Travelers passing through UAE airports on a long transit.

Questions & answers

UAE (Dubai) visa FAQ

How long does a Dubai visa take?

Usually a few working days after the file is complete, and it may take longer for some nationalities or in peak seasons. We advise applying at least two weeks before your travel date, noting that speed of processing does not mean approval is guaranteed.

Can a Syrian or Iraqi living in Turkey get a Dubai visa?

They can apply, but eligibility and the decision depend on the nationality of the passport and on the judgment of the UAE authorities, and a Turkish residence permit alone does not change that. Send us a photo of your passport and residence permit via WhatsApp and we will explain the options available for your nationality before you pay any fees.

What is the difference between the 30-day and 60-day Dubai visa?

The main difference is the permitted length of stay in the UAE and the fees. Choose 30 days for a short vacation and 60 days if your stay is longer; both are available for single or multiple entry.

Can the UAE visa be extended from inside the country?

The available information indicates that some visa types can be extended electronically from inside the country, under conditions and fees set by the competent authorities. Tell us your visa type before you travel and we will check whether an extension is possible.

Does a Turkish citizen need a UAE visa?

Most sources indicate that holders of an ordinary Turkish passport need a visa before travel, not on arrival. Because these rules may change, we check the current situation through official channels before you book your trip.

Is health insurance mandatory for the UAE visa?

Yes. Health insurance valid inside the UAE is one of the tourist visa requirements, and we arrange it for you as part of your file.
