How it works with us
Write to us with a photo of the passport page, the dates you want and, for a family visit, who your host is. An adviser decides between the tourist and the family route and sends one total price. Nothing is filed until you accept it. Our team then submits the request, replies to questions from the authority and forwards the e-visa to you. DubaiVisaDesk.com is a private visa service. GDRFA or ICP makes the decision.
After a refusal the authorities keep their fees. Ask your adviser for the written refund terms before you pay.
