Dubai Tourist Visa

Filipino citizens planning to travel to the United Arab Emirates must obtain a pre-approved visa before entering the country. Dubai (UAE) tourist visas are available for visiting family or friends and for tourism and business trips. Please select the appropriate visa type based on your travel purpose and intended duration of stay. Below are the available Dubai tourist visa options.

Documents Required

• Passport Copy – Philippine passport valid for at least 6 months.
• Passport Cover Page – Front and back cover copy of the passport.
• Photograph – Recent passport-size digital photo for each traveler.
• Flight Ticket – Confirmed airline ticket to enter and exit the UAE.
• Hotel Booking – Hotel booking voucher matching your travel dates.
• Birth Certificates – For minors under 18 years traveling with parents.
• Security Deposit – Security amount depending on the visitor’s profile.
• Guarantor’s Documents – Emirates ID (if invited by UAE residents).

Dubai and UAE e-Visa Guide

The tourist visa is a digital travel authorization issued by the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (UAE immigration) through a simple and fully online application process. This e-visa is usually obtained via the official government portal with the assistance of UAE-based airlines, hotels, and licensed travel agencies. UAE-issued visas allow travelers to visit all seven emirates, including Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah, and Fujairah—regardless of the issuing emirate.

All visitors must have a confirmed flight ticket to enter and exit the country, a hotel booking, and proof of sufficient funds (approx. AED 3000 or more per person) for UAE trips. Visa fees are non-refundable, and approval or rejection is solely determined by the immigration authorities. Airlines, hotels, and travel agencies cannot guarantee visa approval. Visa fees generally include application fees, agency charges, and COVID-19 insurance.

Eligibility and Travel Guidelines

Families with kids, tourist groups, transit passengers, business travelers, and people attending events and seminars in the UAE are not required to submit the guarantor’s documents or any kind of security deposit as we will be the sponsors of their visas. The ‘Kids Go Free’ policy is applicable for Dubai-issued tourist visas; however, the passenger needs to pay the application fee and agency charges.

All travelers must exit the country or apply for a ‘change-of-status’ before their visit visa expires if they plan to convert it to an employment or residence visa. This helps avoid overstaying fines, absconding cases, or possible future travel bans. Tourist visas can also be extended by paying the required fees without leaving the country.

Philippine Immigration Requirements

Filipino travelers flying from the Philippines must present a confirmed round-trip ticket, valid UAE visa, hotel booking, and proof of financial capacity at immigration. Show money for Dubai tourist visa from Philippines is required according to visitor’s eligibility.

Job seekers invited by a UAE resident may also be required to present a notarized Affidavit of Support and Guarantee letter (AOSG) before departure. The AOSG is processed through the Consulate General of the Philippines in Dubai or the Embassy of the Philippines in Abu Dhabi and usually applies only to travelers departing directly from the Philippines. It is not required for those traveling to the UAE from another country.

Dubai Tourist Visa Extension

Dubai visas show the validity to enter the country, not the length of stay, so it is suggested to check the visa validity after arriving in the country through the official government portal. Visitors already in the UAE can extend their tourist visa without exiting the country by paying the applicable fees. Visa change services, including airport-to-airport and border-to-border options, are available for those planning to stay longer for family visits or job opportunities.
