ICP publishes fee lines rather than a single price. A single entry visit visa costs AED 100 per month to issue, on top of an AED 100 application fee and an AED 100 smart service fee. A multiple entry visit visa costs AED 200 per month to issue, with the same two fees alongside.

ICP fee lines for issuing a visit visa
Fee line Amount
Application fee AED 100
Issuance, single entry per month AED 100
Issuance, multiple entry per month AED 200
Smart service fee AED 100
Financial guarantee, single entry AED 1,000
Financial guarantee, multiple entry AED 2,000
Deposit fee on the financial guarantee AED 20

The financial guarantee is the line that surprises people. It is a deposit rather than a charge, so it is not part of the cost of the visa in the way the issuance fee is, but it does have to be found up front when it is required.

ICP puts the completion time for the service at two days. Extending later has its own price: AED 100 to apply, and AED 500 to extend an entry.

What this does not mean

These are the government’s fees, not the price you will be quoted. Airlines, hotels and travel agents arrange visit visas and add their own charges, and a sponsor in the country may face other costs. A visit visa is also not a tourist visa: the two are separate services with separate prices, and are covered separately.
