UAE Visa Extension Services

Stay longer in the UAE without leaving the country. Extend your Dubai tourist visa quickly with our secure online service.

What Is a UAE Visa Extension?

A UAE tourist visa extension is essentially a legal grace period. It allows visitors to prolong their stay without the visa run that used to be the standard requirement.

Generally, tourist visas can be extended for a maximum of 120 days in total. Within this duration, you can extend your visa once or multiple times.

Important Notice

The UAE recently removed the 10-day grace period for many visa types. Overstay fines now apply immediately when your visa expires. Apply for extension before expiry!

Maximum Stay Period

Tourist visas can be extended for up to 120 days total. You can apply for extensions once or multiple times within this limit.

180-Day Annual Rule

Regardless of extensions, visitors generally cannot stay more than 180 days within a single calendar year on tourist status.

Legal Compliance

Extension keeps you legally compliant without leaving the UAE. No more "visa runs" to neighbouring countries.
