For those planning to visit UAE more than once within 60 days. Travellers are allowed to make multiple visits for 60 days from the first date of entry into the UAE. However, your stay cannot be exceeded more than 30 days from the date of entry to the UAE, and the visa must be extended twice for 30 days of stay each time.

Travellers who are planning to stay in the UAE for more than 3 months can obtain a visa for 6 months under two categories:
Individuals applying for this visa should fall under a special category such as professionals, students, investors and entrepreneurs. This 6-month multiple entry visa allows visitors to stay longer, understand its environment and begin their paperwork for an extended stay.
If you do not fall under the above categories but are willing to stay in the UAE for 6 months, contact our local tourist agency to obtain a no-exit visa extension. This allows you to stay in the UAE for a total of 6 months.
The grace period is the number of days a visitor could stay in the UAE after visa expiry. Within this stipulated period, the visa holder could either renew the visa to amend the current visa status and extend their stay or leave the country. Visitors holding 30 days on arrival visas and prepaid visas are entitled to obtain a 10-day grace period. However, no grace period will be provided for visitors with 90 days on arrival visa as it comes with a multiple entry visa that is valid for 6 months and allows you a total stay of 90 days in the UAE.
The 10 days grace period is free for 30 days on arrival visa and prepaid visa holders. If you are staying in the UAE beyond that period, then you will have to pay an overstay fine as below:
All types of visit and tourist visas can be extended for 30 days twice, upon applying and approved by the relevant authorities.
This can be performed without exiting the country and before the expiration of your current visa. You will be charged a fee of AED 600 for each time of renewal.
If you are overstaying and planning to renew your visa, you will have to pay an extra AED 100 for each day you have overstayed. The overstay is calculated from the last day of your grace period.
However, the new rule of visa extension does not apply to the following travellers:
