Frequently asked questions
How long does a UAE visa take for Filipino applicants?
Most Filipino tourist visa applications are processed within 24–72 hours after submission. Peak seasons and additional security checks can extend this, so apply at least one week before travel.
How much does a UAE tourist visa cost for Filipinos?
A standard 30-day single-entry tourist visa typically starts from around AED 350 depending on the processing channel. 60-day and multiple-entry options cost more. The final fee is always shown before payment.
What documents do Filipino citizens need for a UAE visa?
A clear colour scan of your passport (valid at least 6 months), a passport-style photo on a white background, and basic travel details. Some applicants may be asked for a confirmed return ticket or hotel booking.
Is the UAE visa for Filipinos stamped in the passport?
No. The UAE tourist visa is an eVisa delivered as a PDF by email. You print it or show it digitally on arrival — your physical passport is never sent anywhere.
Can a UAE visa application for Filipinos be rejected?
Yes, immigration can reject applications — common reasons include unclear passport scans, previous overstays, or name mismatches. Rejections can usually be corrected and re-submitted.
