About rupee prices
No verified source gives an official Dubai visa fee in Indian rupees, because the UAE charges in AED. Rupee prices you see from Indian travel sites are their own retail prices. Compare them with the AED fee above at your bank's rate, and you see the service charge.
Children under 18 in summer
A UAE Cabinet decision, reported by Gulf News on , exempts children of tourists under 18 from the visa fee from 15 July to 15 September each year. The child travels with a parent. Ask what else is still charged, such as insurance or the agency fee.
Documents and timing
The fee is only charged once the file is complete: passport valid 6 months, a white background photo, ticket and insurance, plus your qualifying visa copy for the ICP route. GDRFA states 48 hours and ICP 2 days. The full checklist is on Dubai visa requirements for Indians.
Ways people overpay
- Buying a 60-day visa for a 3-week trip.
- Paying for a tourist visa when your valid US visa already qualifies for the AED 100 route.
- Paying express charges for a 48-hour process filed a week early.
- Overstaying a day or two at AED 50 a day.
- Paying a multiple entry fee for a single trip with no plan to leave and return.
How it works with us
Message us on WhatsApp or use the form on this page with the passport copy, your dates and any other visa you hold. A visa adviser works out the cheapest route that fits your trip and sends one total price, government fees inside, before you pay anything. Our team then files the visa and tracks it to the end. You receive the e-visa by email. DubaiVisaDesk.com is a private service. The visa itself is decided by GDRFA or ICP.
Refused visas lose their government fee: the authorities do not return it. Before payment, your adviser writes down what share of our total, if any, comes back to you after a refusal.
