Are you thinking of travelling to Canada for a vacation, or to visit your relatives?

Most UAE residents require a visitor visa to travel to Canada. You can find out if you need a visa to visit Canada by taking a small quiz on the official website: https://ircc.canada.ca/english/visit/visas.asp. You can also find a list of nationalities that require the permit to enter the country.

In the Emirates, Canada's authorised visa service provider is VFS Global, through which applications are sent.

Stay up to date with the latest news. Follow KT on WhatsApp Channels.

Every application must be accompanied by a signed consent form, which authorises VFS to take biometrics for the process. The form is available on the VFS website.

Here is a step-by-step guide on how you can apply from the UAE, and what documents you need to do so.

Step 1: Filling forms

- The visa application form can be found on the IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada) website.

- You must fill in the form electronically. Once its filled in completely, the form (including barcoded sheets) needs to be printed on white, bond quality, non-glossy paper, using a laser printer.

- Hand-written forms are not allowed

- The IRCC requires supporting documents along with the application. There is a document checklist that you must submit along with the form. It lists the required documents in the order that they should be collected and submitted. The documents include (but are not limited to) proof of residence, marriage certificate, passport copy, and proof of financial support.

- You must also fill out a consent form and attach it with the application form.

Step 2: Booking appointment

- If you have not submitted the application form online, you will need to visit a visa application centre (which in this case would be a VFS centre) to do so. You must book an appointment anyway to have your biometrics (fingerprints and photos) taken.

- You can book an appointment in five ways: online, via telephone, by email using a web form, web chat on the VFS website, and in person at a VFS centre.

- Once the appointment is booked, an appointment confirmation and email will be sent to the applicant.

Note: If a family or group is applying together, they will still need to book individual appointments for each member.

Step 3: Paying visa application fee

You can pay the fee at the time of the appointment. Both the Government of Canada Fee and biometric fee must be paid as per instructions on the IRCC website.

Step 4: Visiting application centre

- You can submit your application and biometrics at the centre, pay the fees, and receive a receipt.

- The receipt contains a unique tracking number which will allow you to track the progress of your application online.

The Abu Dhabi Tourist Visa Explained – Rule Changes in 2022

On this page, we detail everything you need to know about tourist visas for Abu Dhabi and the UAE. Note that these visa rules apply no matter which Emirate you come in and out of.

We have updated this page following changes to the visa system in October 2022.

We have attempted to provide clear and accurate information; however, at the time of writing, some aspects of the new Visa system are not entirely clear during this transition period. This page will be amended as soon as more official information becomes available.

In addition to requiring a visa to enter the country as a tourist, please keep abreast of current COVID-19 requirements . As of 7 November, 2022, the Al Hosn “Green Pass” requirement was abolished .

Who needs to apply for a Tourist Visa?

Anyone not a GCC national or eligible for a visa on arrival (see list below) must apply for a visa in advance to visit the UAE.

You can apply either through your airline or UAE-registered tour operator for the appropriate visa.

• Visa services from Etihad Airways
• Visa Services offered by Emirates Airline
• Visa services from Fly Dubai
• Visa services from Air Arabia

A single entry transit visa for less than 48 hours is free, whilst of 4-day short-stay, visa costs 50AED.

A 30-day, single-entry visa costs in the region of 350 AED, depending on the service that you use to obtain it. Alternatively, a 60-day single-entry visa costs in the region of 650 AED. Both 30 and 60-day single-entry visit visas can be extended for a further 30 days for a fee of 960 AED.

Note that people under the age of 18 cannot apply for a tourist visa unless they are travelling with their parents.

Visa-Free Entry to the UAE

Citizens from  GCC Countries   do not need to apply for a visa on arrival to the UAE.

Countries eligible for Visa on Arrival

Upon landing at Abu Dhabi International Airport, simply make your way to immigration, where your visa will be issued.

These countries are currently eligible for a FREE visit visa on arrival to the UAE:

• Czech Republic
• Liechtenstein
• Netherlands
• New Zealand
• People’s Republic of China
• Republic of El Salvador
• Republic of Mauritius
• Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
• South Korea
• Switzerland
• United Kingdom
• United States of America
• Vatican City

A visit visa for most of these countries lasts for 60 days and can be renewed for another 30 days twice. If you overstay a visit visa, the fine is 200 AED for the first day and 100 AED per day after that – see more below on overstays.

There is a 10-day grace period (this means that you won’t be fined for overstaying your visa until Day 70). 

Note that the 26 countries in the Schengen Zone had previously been allowed to stay in the UAE for 90 days, although it is unclear whether this is still the case following the immigration reforms of October 2022.

Five-Year Multi-Visit Visa (New in 2022)

A five-year multi-visit visa is also available for the above countries, which allows the holder to stay in the UAE for up to 90 days in a row and up to 180 days per year.

In order to apply for this type of visa, you need to prove that you have USD 4,000 in your bank account (for at least six months prior to the visa application) and purchase UAE Health Insurance.

Citizens of India

There are specific rules applicable to Indian citizens,  which you can find here .

If you have any concerns, you should verify this information on the UAE Government website.

What happens if my tourist Visa has expired?

If your 60-day tourist visa to the UAE has expired, you have two options:

• UAE Plug Type: What Power Adapter Do I Need in Abu Dhabi?
• Sun-Soaked Splendors: Why Abu Dhabi Still Sizzles in Summer
• Abu Dhabi Grand Mosque Dress Code & Etiquette Guide 2024
• Leave the country before your 10-day grace period expires (ie, by day 69)
• Apply to Immigration and pay a fee to have your visit visa extended. It is currently understood that you are able to extend your 60-day visa by 30 days twice, giving you a maximum of 120 days in the UAE ( previously, you could keep renewing indefinitely by leaving the country and returning).

What is a Visa Run?

A Visa run is a common expression used for when you leave the country in order to re-enter and start a fresh visit visa immediately.

Most commonly, this is done on the UAE’s border with Oman as it is quite straightforward and inexpensive to cross by land, provided you have access to a car. We have a detailed guide on how the process works on our Dubai Travel Planner site . It is identical for Abu Dhabi, although there may be closer border crossing points to consider near Al Ain.

There is no need to do a visa run as visas can easily be renewed online, but it is still an option which helps combine costs with a trip to a neighbouring country.

Accidental overstays

It’s important to note if you leave the country during the first 60 days, your UAE Visa on Arrival will not renew upon re-entry. It’s a 60-day multi-entry Visa .  If you are travelling through Abu Dhabi, let’s say onward to Europe, then have a stopover in Abu Dhabi again, be very careful if that second stop sees you cross over from 60 days to 70 days.

Eg: You arrive in Abu Dhabi on 1 September, stay for a few days, and then fly on to Europe. You return to the UAE on 30 October.  You then spend two weeks in Abu Dhabi and fly out again on 12 November.

Even though you only stayed in the UAE for just over two weeks, your original 60-day visa was still valid on re-entry. You are considered to have overstayed your visit visa by 12 days as you did not leave the country, and it was not renewed during the 10-day grace period.

Road trip to Oman?

A good way to avoid this can be to include a trip to Oman with your Abu Dhabi trip!  Musandam is our favourite location for an overnight trip, although the closest crossing point from Abu Dhabi city is Al Ain; not only an amazing experience, but you can avoid any issues with overstaying your visa and receiving a fine by exiting the country between day 60 and day 69.

There are a few small costs involved, and depending on your nationality, you may need to apply for an e-visa in advance. Other than transportation, you have to pay an exit fee to the UAE, and a  tourist Visa entry fee to Oman, currently 5OR for a 10-day visit visa. 

Re-entering the UAE, there are no charges on the Omani or UAE side, just stamping of your passports.

If you are travelling in a hire car, you will need to check that your insurance covers Oman and obtain a ’no objection certificate (NOC)’.

Head back to our Abu Dhabi Essential Planning Page

NB If you are looking to work in the UAE and become a resident, different visa categories will apply.  You may still be instructed by a future employer to enter on a tourist visa; then you will be changed across to the appropriate visa category in due course.

TRV from Abu Dhabi

• Thread starter z01
• Start date Mar 3, 2022

Is there anyone applying for a TRV from Abu Dhabi? Can you share your timeline? I have been waiting since Jan, starting to get worried as I am a returning student!  

z01 said: Is there anyone applying for a TRV from Abu Dhabi? Can you share your timeline? I have been waiting since Jan, starting to get worried as I am a returning student! Click to expand...

I left Canada to visit my family in Abu Dhabi. I have a valid study permit and coop work permit. I completely ignored my visitor visa which turned out to be expired, this was a big mistake on my part. I went to the airport thinking I can fly, but of course, I wasn't able to board since my visit visa is expired. I directly applied for a TRV and sent a webform asking if they can perhaps expedite my application since I am a returning student who needs to be back for my classes, my internship, and my apartment. I uploaded all supporting documents for my case (proof of enrollment, proof of employment, bank statements...). I received a response on Jan 20th saying that I will receive a request letter to submit my passport shortly. This has turned into a couple of weeks now with no news! I am eagerly waiting to get back to my life in Canada. After sending follow-up emails and not receiving any replies, I decided to submit another webform attaching the email IRCC Abu Dhabi has sent me about receiving a request letter to submit my passport shortly. However, I did not get any confirmation email for submitting the webform, so I am worried they maybe did not receive it. Do you guys have any advice? Is there anything more I can do? My university is back to in-person classes, and my employer needs me to return.  

z01 said: I left Canada to visit my family in Abu Dhabi. I have a valid study permit and coop work permit. I completely ignored my visitor visa which turned out to be expired, this was a big mistake on my part. I went to the airport thinking I can fly, but of course, I wasn't able to board since my visit visa is expired. I directly applied for a TRV and sent a webform asking if they can perhaps expedite my application since I am a returning student who needs to be back for my classes, my internship, and my apartment. I uploaded all supporting documents for my case (proof of enrollment, proof of employment, bank statements...). I received a response on Jan 20th saying that I will receive a request letter to submit my passport shortly. This has turned into a couple of weeks now with no news! I am eagerly waiting to get back to my life in Canada.

My mother's trv was processed at ADVO and her visa was issued in 60 days time. Your approval will be very close. Don't worry  

I really hope so! May I ask when did she apply?

Hello, I applied for TRV last May 2021 and i already had my biometrics months before that. My status turned ' We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements ' last July 6, 2021. But unfortunately up to this time my status still the same. I kept on sending them through webform but last reply was, my application is not priority at this time and still on que. As per my employer, Abu Dhabi processing will really take long time to process. If you have the same experience or got an update from IRCC abu dhabi please share it. Thank you

Yes I applied twice for GCMS notes and it’s showing that file is open and they checked criminal records in 4 other countries and no record traced. I already got US visa recently I sent a web inquiry but still didn’t get any reply. And as I know to cancel first application you have to send a webform for cancellation
