The UAE foreign ministry lists Algeria as visa required, so an Algerian passport needs the visa before boarding. A Dubai tourism company, hotel or UAE airline files it with GDRFA. We prepare the file and check it first. Prices are below, along with the latest reported news on relations.
Fees and papers
GDRFA charges AED 210 for a 30-day single entry visa and AED 315 for 60 days. The same fee list gives AED 315 for 30 days with multiple entries. GDRFA lists 48 hours for a complete file (checked ). Dubai agencies publish about AED 340 to AED 800 for the 30-day visa (published prices of 8 Dubai agencies, checked ).
Keep ready a passport with six months left, a photo, a return ticket and UAE health insurance. A family visit adds the host's Emirates ID, residence visa and salary proof. The requirements guide has the list.
Check your flight and visa position
Airline schedules and consular services can change at short notice. Ask your airline whether it still flies your route, and check your passport and visa position before you buy a ticket. We could not read an official Algerian statement on consular services in the UAE, so we do not state any.
If a relative sponsors you
A resident relative can sponsor a visit through ICP. The 60-day route and its costs are in the 60-day visa guide.
Where files go wrong
Files fail on a passport close to expiry, scans with glare, a return ticket dated after the visa ends, or a sponsor below the income tier. The rejection reasons page lists more.
How it works with us
Write to us on WhatsApp or through the form here, with a copy of your passport and your dates. The adviser picks the visa that fits and quotes one total. We file only after you say yes, answer any follow-up and send the e-visa when it arrives. DubaiVisaDesk.com is a private visa service. GDRFA or ICP decides each application.
Government fees are not returned by the authorities after a refusal. Your adviser tells you in writing, before payment, which part of our total comes back, if any.
