How do the 30 & 60 day Tourist visas work?

You want to visit the UAE. Visa extensions are no longer possible to make inside the UAE. 

We can still make our customers visas from outside the UAE of 30 or 60 days. If you are already inside the UAE we can arrange a same day return flight package to a local GCC country including a new 60 day visa on re-entry

We just need your passport copy, previous visa or visa stamp and a digital passport photo sent to us by whatsapp or email. 

One of our British visa experts will oversee your visa application and ensure it gets done properly, giving you peace of mind and assurance.

You will be able to confirm the validity through our link to the government site in our site menu.
Then when its coming up to expiry, we can renew your visa again.

How long does a visa take to process?

The visa processing depends on Go Tours and also Immigration. From our side, we are extremely efficient and organised and fast. In many cases we make the Visa in under 24 hours as you will see in our Google reviews. Immigration processing time depends on the number of visa applications they receive. Currently its around 1-2 working days, closed on weekends.

Is there a grace period?

Grace period can be confusing for many customers. Use the Check your visa expiry page directly from our website home page and you can see the last day of your visa including any grace period.

Is there a limit to how many times I can renew?

If you make a paid tourist visa with us of 30 or 60 days we can extend both 2 times for 30 additional days each time.

Whereas if you do a visa extension with UAE Immigration (GDRFA) directly, then you can only do it one time.

For example if you are British and planning to visit UAE for some time, rather than visiting with free 30 day visa and paying the government 900AED to extend it for 21 additional days we can make you a 60 day visa before coming for only 695AED.  We can extend this visa inside the country so you can stay upto a total of 120 days as per the current rules

Change status between Resident/Employment visa and Tourist visa

We make it easy to change from a cancelled resident visa to a tourist visa. Simply attach the cancellation document from immigration when making a booking and we will sort it out.

Also, change easily from one of our Tourist visas to your new employment visa should you get a job and need to do a status change inside the country.

Do you need my passport?

No we dont, only a digital copy of it. We issue the visa through our online portal and send it to you as a PDF document.

How will I get my visa?
Your visa will be sent to you as a PDF. It will be updated in the government immigration system also. It will show the visa expiry date and other personal info
Are the visas multiple entry or single entry?

The standard visas we make for over 90% of our customers are single entry visas.

Multiple entry visas are possible on request but typically cost almost double the price of a single entry visa, but do allow the person to enter and exit the country as many times as they like during the visa period.

If need a visa but plan on leaving only one time and then coming back, it is probably cheaper and more cost effective for you to make a single entry visa before leaving and then make an even cheaper visa from outside the country before you re-enter the UAE.

What about visas less than 30 days or more than 60 days?

The shortest visa available is the 30 day one. The longest one is 60 days.

There is a new 5 year multi entry tourist visa that we make which allows you to enter for upto 90 days every year for 5 years.

If you need a visa for much longer we also make 2 year residence visas.

The visas we issue you will be 30+9 or 60+9 days in total including 9 days obtained for free, known as a ‘grace period’. Click on our Check your visa expiry page in the menu to see when your visa expires.

(*Note Schengen countries and other nationalities with multiple entry visas should check their expiry date by calling 800 5111.)

What if my visa gets rejected

Anothr reason people choose us is because over 99.9% of our visa applications get approved.

However, if UAE immigration do reject your visa for a reason outside of our control, the application fee is non refundable from the government. This is usually the case in all countries.
