UAE Visit Visa from Pakistan Documents, Fees & Process

Pakistani citizens need a UAE visit visa before they fly. For Dubai, GDRFA Dubai issues a single-entry tourist visa for 30 or 60 days, sponsored by a UAE tourism establishment, usually in about 48 hours once the application is complete. You need a passport valid for 6 months, a passport copy, one photo, your CNIC copy, travel insurance valid in the UAE and a return ticket. We prepare and submit the whole file for you — the first document check is free.

Process

How to apply for a UAE visa from Pakistan

Two ways to read this: what we do for you, and what the UAE process involves. Most refusals we see come from files people assembled alone.

With Travel Visa Pk

15+ years of experience, one adviser from first message to departure. This is what applying for a UAE visa through us looks like.

  1. Step 1

    Tell us your case

    One message on WhatsApp or a visit to Blue Area: your job, your travel dates and who is going.

  2. Step 2

    Free document check

    We check what you already have against the current official list and tell you what is missing. No charge, no obligation.

  3. Step 3

    We build the file

    Cover letter, sponsor and employment papers, bank statement explanation, translations and the forms, prepared the way the embassy expects to see them.

  4. Step 4

    Appointment and fees

    We book the slot, tell you the exact fee to pay on the day and brief you on what happens at the centre.

  5. Step 5

    Review, submit, track

    A second adviser reviews the file before submission, then we track it until the decision.

  6. Step 6

    After approval

    Tickets, hotel, insurance and transfers arranged in one place, so your trip is not five separate bookings.

What the official UAE process involves

  1. 1

    Send your passport copy, photo and CNIC copy on WhatsApp, or bring them to our Blue Area office.

  2. 2

    We check every document and submit the application through a UAE tourism establishment.

  3. 3

    GDRFA Dubai processes the visa, usually in about 48 hours once the application is complete.

  4. 4

    You receive your visa copy; travel with your return ticket, insurance and a printed visa.

Where the application is submitted

  • GDRFA Dubai: single-entry tourist visa serviceTourist visas are sponsored by a UAE tourism establishment. Send us your documents and we handle the application.

We book the appointment, prepare the file and tell you exactly what to carry on the day.

Common mistakes we fix before you submit

  • Buying a "Dubai visa" from an unknown seller on social media with no office or sponsor.
  • Sending a blurry photo or a passport copy with the corners cut off.
  • Booking non-refundable flights before the visa is issued.
  • Staying longer than the 30 or 60 days your visa allows.

We can also arrange

Before you submit

Common UAE visa refusal reasons and how we avoid them

What we see most often in files from Pakistani applicants, and the check we do before your file goes in.

  1. Reason 1: Name spelled differently on documents

    A name spelled one way on the passport and another on the CNIC or the application causes delay or refusal.

    How we avoid it: We check that the name matches exactly across the passport, CNIC and application before submitting.

  2. Reason 2: Previous overstay or unpaid fines

    Travellers who overstayed an earlier visit visa, or left without cancelling a UAE work visa, can be refused until the record is cleared.

    How we avoid it: Tell us about any earlier UAE visa. We explain what must be settled before a new application and when to apply.

  3. Reason 3: Unclear passport scan

    Phone photos with glare, cropped edges or unreadable machine-readable lines are sent back.

    How we avoid it: We rescan the passport page at high resolution when a copy is unclear.

  4. Reason 4: Hotel booking that cannot be checked

    A reservation that the hotel cannot confirm undermines the application.

    How we avoid it: We use confirmed bookings that stay valid for your travel dates.

FAQs

UAE visa FAQs

What documents are required for a UAE visit visa from Pakistan?

For a Dubai tourist visa, GDRFA Dubai lists a passport valid for at least 6 months, a passport copy, one personal photo, a copy of your CNIC, travel insurance valid in the UAE and a return or onward air ticket.

How much is the UAE visa price in Pakistan?

It depends on the visa type you need (30-day tourist visa or 60-day tourist visa) and on your documents, so we quote each file for free on WhatsApp before you pay anything. Any government or embassy fee is separate; your adviser confirms the current amount before you pay.

What is the UAE visit visa fee for Pakistanis?

GDRFA Dubai sets a different fee for the 30-day and the 60-day single-entry tourist visa, plus 5% VAT, and the rupee amount moves with the exchange rate. An adviser gives you the current total, with our service charge shown separately, before you pay anything.

How long does a Dubai visit visa take?

About 48 hours once the application is complete, according to GDRFA Dubai. Apply at least a week before you fly so there is time to fix any document issue.

Can I apply for a UAE tourist visa myself?

Tourist visas are sponsored by a UAE tourism establishment, so travellers from Pakistan normally apply through a travel agency. We arrange it from our office in Blue Area, Islamabad.

Is travel insurance required for the UAE visa?

Yes. GDRFA Dubai's document list includes travel insurance that is valid in the UAE.

Do you arrange Dubai tours as well?

Yes. Our 5-day Dubai package covers hotel, city tour, desert safari and airport transfers, and we can add the visa and flights to the same quote.

Can I apply for a UAE visa without an agent?

Not on your own. A UAE visit visa has to be sponsored by a UAE tourism establishment such as a travel agency or hotel, an airline, or a relative living in the UAE. We arrange the sponsored application for you.

Do Pakistani travellers need 'OK to Board' for Dubai?

Some airlines flying from Pakistan to the UAE ask for an 'OK to Board' status on the booking before check-in. We check what your airline needs and arrange it with the ticket.
