Should you get a UAE multiple entry visa? Compare 30- and 60-day options, official fees, who benefits most, and how it differs from a single entry visa.
Planning to visit Dubai and pop over to Oman, Qatar, or back home for a quick errand during your stay? A UAE multiple entry visa lets you leave and re-enter during its validity — without applying for a new visa each time.
Here's how it works and whether it's worth the extra cost.
Disclaimer: Visa durations, fees and conditions are set by UAE authorities and may change. Figures here are based on public information as of October 2026. Please verify with the ICP, GDRFA Dubai, or a licensed travel agency before applying.
| Single entry | Multiple entry | |
|---|---|---|
| Entries allowed | One | Unlimited within validity |
| Leaving the UAE | Visa ends when you exit | Visa stays valid; you can come back |
| Best for | One continuous stay | Side trips, business travel, frequent visits |
| Cost | Lower | Higher |
In short: If you'll stay in the UAE the whole time, single entry is enough. If you'll leave and return, multiple entry saves money and hassle.
UAE authorities offer multiple entry visit visas in 30-, 60- and 90-day validity options, depending on category and availability. Kabayan UAE offers:
Total stays in the UAE are generally capped (reported at up to 120 days per year for visit visas), so check how your visa's rules apply to your trip.
Official government fees reported for 2026 (before VAT, insurance and service charges):
For family-sponsored visas, a refundable financial guarantee (reported at AED 2,000 for multiple entry) may apply.
Through an agency, packages include processing and support. Kabayan UAE multiple entry visa services start from AED 690.
Most applications need:
If you're only passing through Dubai, a transit visa may be all you need:
Transit visas are for short layovers and usually can't be extended.
A multiple entry visa is worth it if you'll leave and return at least once during your stay. If not, a 30-day or 60-day single entry visa is the more economical choice.
Still deciding? Our UAE tourist visa guide for Filipinos compares all visa types.
No. A multiple entry visa lets you leave and come back during its validity, but the days you spend inside the UAE still count toward your allowed stay. Leaving for a weekend does not "restart" the clock.
Some visit visas can be extended inside the UAE, subject to approval and the total stay limit. Ask before you buy if an extension might be part of your plan, so you choose the right visa from the start.
No. It only covers entry into the UAE. You still need to meet the entry rules of each country you visit. Check them for Philippine passport holders before you book.
It can be useful if you'll attend interviews in other GCC countries. Remember that you can't work on any visit visa — your employer must process a proper work permit.
Some visa categories ask for proof of medical cover, and it's strongly recommended either way. A hospital visit in the UAE can be expensive without insurance.
Tell us your travel plan, and we'll recommend the visa that fits — single, multiple entry, or transit — with transparent pricing.
