Dubai single-entry tourist service

GDRFA lists a personal photograph and passport copy, with a home-country identity card for specified nationalities. Its terms also require an onward/exit ticket and UAE-valid medical insurance.

Passport/travel document valid for at least six months.

Accredited tourism offices issue this service. Single-entry guidance is not automatically a multiple-entry or relative/friend visit checklist.

Five-year tourist service

Its financial, insurance and travel evidence differ from the ordinary tourist service. Read the current official conditions and confirm the live upload fields before preparing files.

Questions

Are these files guaranteed to be accepted?

We prepare files to the selected instructions. The authority or provider reviews the application, and unpublished upload fields still need confirmation.

Do I need every document before preparing my photo?

No. Choose only the files you need to prepare now. Missing official evidence remains a separate application step.
