Visa Validity & Duration

Modified on Wed, 30 Aug 2023 at 11:44 AM


Understanding Key Terms of the UAE Tourist Visa:


1. Date of Issue: This is the date on which the visa was issued. You can enter the country starting from this date.

"For example, you can enter on 20/08/2023 as shown in the example below."


2. Valid Until: This is the last day you are allowed to use the visa and enter the country before 11:59 PM. After this date, the visa is considered expired and cannot be used, and a new visa must be obtained.

"For instance, you can enter on 18/10/2023 before the end of the day as illustrated in the example below."


This means that you can enter on any day between the ‘Date of Issue’ and the ‘Valid Until’ date. Upon your entry into the country, the visa duration starts.


3. Visa Duration: This is the maximum number of days you are allowed to stay inside the country, and these days start counting from your entry date to the country.
