Estonians do not need a visa for the UAE. The foreign ministry lists the Republic of Estonia as visa free, with a free multiple entry visit visa on arrival, valid 6 months, for up to 90 days in total. You show the passport and your return ticket, and immigration stamps you in.

- A doubt about the passport check before the airline lets you board.

How it works with us
Send a photo of the passport page and your dates. An adviser reads the ministry list against your passport and replies. Should a companion need a visa, you get one total price before anything is paid, and the team then files and follows the request. DubaiVisaDesk.com is a private visa service. ICP or GDRFA makes every decision.
A refused application means the authorities keep their fees. Your adviser writes down, before you pay, what share of our total would come back.
