Bringing your parents or family on a visit visa
There are two ways to do it. We tell you which suits your family before anything is submitted.
A visit visa through us
We apply through our agency, so it does not rest on your own residence visa or salary. Choose 30, 60 or 90 days by how long they will stay. Each visitor needs a passport valid for 6 months or more, a photo, a return ticket and where they will stay: a hotel booking, or your details as their host.
A relative visit visa you sponsor
A UAE resident can sponsor a parent or other relative through ICP, or GDRFA in Dubai. It rests on your own residence visa, Emirates ID and income, and the rules depend on how you are related, so not every resident qualifies.
How to sponsor a parent's visit visa
Already here and need longer? A visa change by bus or flight extends the stay without flying home.
Visa change and transit
For visitors already in the UAE who need to stay longer, and for a stopover between flights.
5-7 working days · 30 or 60 days stay
UAE Visa Change Status (Inside UAE)

Frequently asked questions
Is a UAE visit visa the same as a tourist visa?
For a holiday or a family visit, yes: "visit visa" is the name most people in the UAE use for the tourist visa, and our 14, 30, 60 and 90-day visit visas are tourist visas. The UAE also has a visit visa that a resident sponsors for a relative, which rests on the resident's own visa and income.
What UAE visit visa options are there?
Single entry visit visas for 14 days, 30 days, 60 days and 90 days, plus multiple entry visas allowing 30 days per entry and 60 days per entry. Which one suits you depends on how long you are staying and whether you need to leave and re-enter the UAE during the trip.
How long does a UAE visit visa take to process?
3-5 working days and 4-6 working days, depending on the visa. Processing starts once your documents are complete, and we track the application through to approval.
What is the difference between UAE visa validity and stay duration?
Validity is the window in which you must enter the UAE. Stay duration is how long you may remain once you have entered. They are different numbers: the UAE Visit Visa (90 Days Single Entry) is valid 60 days from issue and permits a stay of 90 days. So you must arrive within the validity window, and your permitted stay is counted from the day you land, not from the day the visa was issued.
Can I get a UAE visit visa for my parents?
Yes, in one of two ways. A visit visa through us: we apply through our agency, so it does not rest on your own residence visa or salary. Choose 30, 60 or 90 days by how long they will stay. Each visitor needs a passport valid for 6 months or more, a photo, a return ticket and where they will stay: a hotel booking, or your details as their host. A relative visit visa you sponsor: a UAE resident can sponsor a parent or other relative through ICP, or GDRFA in Dubai. It rests on your own residence visa, Emirates ID and income, and the rules depend on how you are related, so not every resident qualifies. We tell you which suits your family before anything is submitted.
Is there a UAE transit visa for a short stopover?
Yes: the UAE Transit Visa (48/96 Hours), valid 48 or 96 hours, processed in 1-2 working days. It suits a stopover in Dubai rather than a full visit, and is the fastest of the UAE visas to obtain.
Can I change my visa status without leaving the UAE?
Yes: the UAE Visa Change Status (Inside UAE) takes 5-7 working days and allows a stay of 30 or 60 days. It avoids the exit-and-return trip that would otherwise be needed.
How much does a UAE visa cost?
UAE visas are quoted on enquiry rather than sold at a headline price, because the fee depends on the visa type, your nationality and the processing speed you need. Tell us your nationality, your dates and which visa fits, and you get an exact figure before anything is submitted.
Can I pay for a UAE visa in instalments?
Yes, like any booking with Holidayys. Tabby and Tamara split any amount, with no minimum. Bookings of AED 1,000 or more can also go on a 0% interest credit card plan from Emirates NBD, Liv, Mashreq, ADCB, HSBC and RAKBANK. The interest is 0%, though some banks charge a one-time processing fee; the amounts are on the instalments page.
Tell us your dates and nationality
Our UAE visa desk will tell you which visa fits and what it costs, before anything is submitted.
