The Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship (ICA) in the UAE has opened the application process for the 5-year multiple-entry visit visas to enter UAE. This visa can be issued for all nationalities. This new type of visa will enable tourists to enter the country multiple times on self-sponsorship and they can remain in the country for 90 days. The visit can be extended for another 90 days as well. People applying for this visa will have to pay AED 650.
“If you wish to extend the annual period of stay in the country for more than 90 days in one year and for a period not exceeding 180 days, you can submit a request to extend the period of stay within the country,” said ICA.
How to apply:
A travel agent said, “Interested applicants can apply directly on the ICA website. A quota system has not been awarded to travel agencies. Documents, including bank statements of the applicant, can be uploaded directly on the websites — and it is the discretion of the immigration authority to award the visa to the applicant or not.”
