Citizens of Guinea-Bissau need a Dubai visa before they fly. The UAE foreign ministry lists the Republic of Guinea-Bissau as visa required, with no visa on arrival. A licensed Dubai company files the GDRFA tourist visa, AED 210 for 30 days or AED 315 for 60 days, and we send you the e-visa.

Papers to send
- Passport with 6 months or more after arrival

- Insurance accepted in the UAE
If you travel to see a relative who lives in the UAE, add the host's Emirates ID and residence visa.
No embassy to rely on
We could not confirm a Guinea-Bissau embassy in the UAE. The UAE foreign ministry directory page we opened did not show a Guinea-Bissau mission, but it did not load the full directory, so this is not proof there is none. Do not plan to get UAE papers, passports or letters through a local embassy until the Guinea-Bissau foreign ministry confirms one. Your passport must be valid before we can file.
Where Bissau-Guinean travellers get stuck
Bissau-Guinean travellers often connect through Dakar or Lisbon. The UAE visa has to be in hand before the first flight, because the airline checks it at the origin check-in. If you hold a Portuguese or Senegalese residence permit, send a copy too. It does not replace the visa but we note it on the file.
How it works with us
Share the passport page and dates. We pick the visa, give you one total and wait for your yes. Then the partner files, tracks the file and forwards the e-visa. We are a private visa service, and GDRFA has the final say.
If GDRFA says no, its fee is gone. Before paying, ask your adviser to write down what share of our total, if any, you would get back.
