How you can extend validity of UAE visit visa for 60 more days

Living in uae.

ICP’s new service can be completed online by the visa sponsor

Dubai: The UAE’s Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Ports Security (ICP) has launched a service that allows visit visa holders to extend the validity of their visas online.

Visit visas, which are a type of entry permit , are issued to foreign nationals, allowing them to enter the UAE for various reasons – whether for tourism, medical treatment or to study.

As per the ICP website, this new service allows for the extension of this visit visa. “The extension period depends on the type of entry permit issued in terms of duration and the number of times the extension request can be submitted,” the website stated.

What is visa validity?

According to Adnan Khan, operation manager at Siddique Haider Corporate Services Provider, the visa validity refers to the amount of time within which you can travel on a particular visa.

“After the visa is issued, you have 60 days to travel. After 60 days, the visa expires. Before the 60-day deadline, if you think you will not be able to travel on the visa, you can extend the validity of the visa through this service,” he told Gulf News.

“Sometimes people have their visas issued and they might not be able to leave the country, for whichever reason. They will just have to pay the fee to extend the visa validity, which would be better than having to apply for a new visa, which would cost them more,” he said.

If you think you will not be able to travel on the visa, you can extend the validity of the visa through this service. - Adnan Khan, operation manager at Siddique Haider Corporate Services Provider

For how many days can the validity be extended?

The service allows visit visa holders to extend the validity of their visit visa for up to 60 days and those on a visa issued to receive a medical treatment or to study can extend it for up to 90 days.

Who can apply for this service?

Sirajudeen Ummer, Business Development Manager at Supreme Business Services, reiterated that this new service from ICP can only be applied for when the visa holder is still outside the UAE.

“All tourist visas issued by ICP can be extended by 60 days through this one ICP service,” he said.

The UAE recently introduced a change in its visit visa renewal policy because of which visitors must now exit the country in order to apply for a renewal or extension. As the holiday season kicks in, agencies have started offering packages for tourists to travel and renew their visa at the same time.

Travel agencies are offering packages with countries that offer visas-on-arrival and e-visas to several nationalities. “We have selected these countries for their affordability and easy access without consuming much of the time in travelling,” said Libin Varghese, director of sales, Rooh Travel and Tourism.

The countries are:

“The package price for Georgia and Azerbaijan start at Dh2,023, excluding visa renewal. If one wants to renew their visas, an extra charge of Dh600 is applicable,” said Varghese.

Countries like Armenia, Kazakhstan, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Bhutan, Nepal, and Thailand are priced at Dh1,800 to Dh2,000 without renewal of the UAE visa. “With UAE visa renewal, the price can increase to Dh3,000,” said Varghese.

The packages aren’t offered to every nationality, he said, interested people must check with with the travel agent.

The package includes air tickets, accommodation, tours and sightseeing, activities, an inbound country visa, and more, with the departures scheduled on December 30.

Experts say that island nations like Seychelles, Maldives, and Mauritius are in great demand for New Year, but the renewal of visas may cost extra. “The airfare is quite high to Seychelles and other island nations. Also, the accommodation price range is on the higher side,” said Varghese.

Shubeesh U, sales manager, Tours on Board Pvt Ltd said: "Many residents have brought parents, siblings, and other family members on two-month visit visas in order to experience and enjoy the winter in Dubai. For those wishing to extend their stay, we have introduced packages starting from Dh3,000 that allow them to travel as well as extend their visas.

"We are also seeing a trend of people travelling to Dubai from UK and Canada to avoid the harsh winters in their countries. Since the option for extending visas within the country has been withdrawn, these tourists prefer flying to destinations like Maldives and Seychelles, which allow them to extend their visas before taking return flights to the UAE," added Shubeesh.

The new rules came into effect on Tuesday, December 13, when the option for visit visa holders in the UAE to extend their visas from within the country was discontinued. As of now, visitors must exit the country once their visa validity expires.

Mir Wasim Raja, manager of MICE & Holidays at Galadari International Travel Services, said bookings for New Year holidays are full, and people looking for travel and visa changes can be attended to by them.

"We can make a customised package if people would like to travel during the upcoming holidays, starting at Dh2,899," said Raja.

"For visa renewal, there are many destination options. However, it will cost an extra Dh600 for the package," he added.
