If you want to visit the United Arab Emirates (UAE), you can get a UAE visa through Emirates Airline. Don’t worry if you don’t have a passport from one of the approved countries. There are several options for obtaining a visa to Dubai. If you’re confused about how to proceed, Emirates is here to help through its partnership with VFS Global Services GCC. Pre-arranged visas range in length from 48 hours to 60 days, with single or multiple entries.

Once you’ve finished it and acquired all of the essential papers, proceed to the nearest visa application centre. In Dubai, you can turn in your documentation at three different locations: VFS Global Services GCC, Wafi Mall, and Emirates Ticketing Office in Jumeirah or Deira.
It is crucial to remember that visas given through this programme are sponsored by Emirates, thus if the visa bearer travels on a competing airline, immigration authorities would deny admission into Dubai. Furthermore, the UAE does not issue visas through its embassies or consulates abroad, thus you must have a sponsor in the UAE or apply through an authorised agency.
