Palauans need a Dubai visa before they travel. The UAE foreign ministry lists the Republic of Palau as visa required, and the UAE has no resident embassy in Palau. So we file the visa from Dubai through a licensed company. The GDRFA fee is AED 210 for 30 days, single entry, with 48 hours listed.
No embassy to visit
A UAE foreign ministry news item from says the UAE ambassador to the Philippines also serves as non-resident ambassador to Palau. That ambassador met Palau's foreign minister, Gustav Aitaro. In plain terms, there is no UAE office in Koror where you can drop a passport. A Dubai company, hotel or airline files an e-visa online, and we do that part.

| Visa | GDRFA fee |

What to send us
- Your Palau passport, valid 6 months past arrival
- The photo page as a flat colour scan
- One white-background portrait
- A booked exit flight from the UAE
- UAE-valid medical cover
- A host in the UAE? Add their Emirates ID, visa page and salary letter
A long way to travel
Koror to Dubai means at least one change of plane, so a transit airline will check your UAE entry papers before it lets you board its first leg. Keep a paper copy of the e-visa in the same bag as your passport. Our Dubai visa price guide shows the full fee set.
Going the other way
If you live in the UAE and plan a trip to Palau, read Palau visa for UAE residents instead.
Where Palau files go wrong
- Passport that expires too soon
- Photo page cut at the edge
- A host earning less than the ICP tier
- No flight out of the UAE
- Earlier overstay in the UAE
How it works with us
You write to us on WhatsApp or through the form here. We read your passport and dates, pick the visa that fits and give you a single price. You decide, then we file it with GDRFA or ICP, deal with any question and forward the e-visa by email. We are a private visa service. The UAE authority makes the decision.
A refusal means the authority keeps its fee. We put in writing, before you pay, what part of our price would return.
