Bring your guests to the UAE
UAE Visit Visa Services
Want your parents to spend the winter with you, or need a business guest to attend meetings? DocTrust checks the right visit visa option and prepares the application, insurance and documents, so your guest arrives without stress.
Quick answer
A UAE visit visa lets a foreign national enter the UAE for tourism, family visits or short business trips. Common options are short-stay and longer-stay visas (often around 30 or 60 days) with single or multiple entry. They can be sponsored by UAE-resident relatives, companies or licensed travel channels. Some nationalities can enter visa-free or get a visa on arrival. Extensions and changing status to a residence visa inside the UAE are possible for some visa types.
Who can you bring on a visit visa?
- Parents, siblings and relatives visiting UAE residents
- Friends coming for a holiday
- Business guests attending meetings, exhibitions or training
- Family members who will later move to a residence visa or family visa

Visit Visa: common questions
How long does a UAE visit visa take?
Many visit visas are issued within a few working days once the documents are complete. Busy seasons can take longer.
Can I extend a visit visa without leaving the UAE?
Some visit visas can be extended from inside the UAE, depending on the visa type and current rules. We check eligibility before the visa expires.
Can a visit visa be changed to a residence visa?
In many cases a visitor can change status to a residence or family visa without leaving the country, if a sponsor applies for the new visa.
Do I need travel insurance?
Health insurance is required for many visit visa types. We arrange suitable cover as part of the application.
