Palau does not ask most visitors for a visa. Its tourism site says every visitor receives a 30-day tourist visa on arrival, and a US$100 Pristine Paradise Environmental Fee is added to the ticket. Myanmar and Bangladesh passports need a pre-approved visa. Living in the UAE does not change any of this.
What your passport decides
The rule follows the passport, not the UAE residence. A British or Indian traveller living in Dubai lands in Palau on the same terms as one flying from home. The exceptions named on the tourism site are the longer one-year stay for citizens of the USA, FSM, the Marshall Islands, Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands, and the pre-approved visa for Myanmar and Bangladesh.
If you hold a Bangladeshi passport, start with us before you buy a ticket. The approval has to come first.
Costs

What to carry
- Passport valid at least 6 months from the date it would expire
- Proof of return arrangements
- The completed Palau entry form or its QR code
- Proof the environmental fee is in your fare
Palau is a long trip from Dubai with connections, so check each airline's own document rules too.
Getting a longer stay
The first 30 days can be extended twice for US$50 each, which gives a 90-day ceiling. Apply within 7 days before the stay ends. Do not wait until the last day.
How it works with us
You send a passport copy and your dates by WhatsApp or the form on this page. An adviser reads the Palau rule for your passport, flags a pre-approval if one applies, and states one total for the work. We prepare the entry paperwork and stay on the file. DubaiVisaDesk.com is a private visa service, and Palau immigration makes the entry decision.
A government fee is gone once paid, even if entry is refused. Your adviser writes down, before you pay, which part of our total would be returned, if any.
