Changes in UAE visa policy: new conditions for issuing tourist visas

The United Arab Emirates attracts millions of foreign tourists every year, but the authorities have decided to introduce stricter requirements for tourist visas. These measures are aimed at preventing abuse of the visa system and ensuring that tourists are able to support themselves financially throughout their stay in the country.

Under the new rules, tourists must provide a number of documents when applying for a visa. Firstly, it is necessary to provide information about a hotel reservation or the address of accommodation with close relatives in the UAE.

It is also important to prove the availability of funds: when entering the country, the tourist must have at least 3000 dirhams, this will cover the costs of the stay.

In addition, travelers are required to have a confirmed return ticket. Authorities have clarified that open-date or one-way tickets will not be accepted and could be a reason for visa denial.

Travelers should also check that the validity of their passport remains at least 6 months from the start of their trip.

Under the new rules, all documents must now be attached to the visa application. Authorities also warn that the new requirements may increase the processing time for visa applications, so it is highly recommended to apply early.

Plan your trip to the Arab Emirates taking into account the new requirements and enjoy an unforgettable vacation!
