Common Questions
Dubai visa for Pakistanis — frequently asked questions
Is there a Dubai visa ban for Pakistani citizens?
No. There is no Dubai visa ban for Pakistani citizens. The UAE Embassy in Pakistan officially denied ban rumours in January 2026, and as of July 2026 approvals have fully resumed across all standard applicant profiles.
Can Pakistanis get a Dubai visa on arrival?
No. Pakistani passport holders cannot get a visa on arrival in the UAE. Every visit and transit visa must be approved before departure, and your airline will require an OK-to-Board confirmation before letting you fly. Apply at least one week before travel to stay safe.
How early should I apply before my travel date?
You can apply for a visit visa between 58 and 5 working days before travel. Transit visas must be applied for within 30 days of your flight. We recommend applying 2 weeks before departure to avoid express fees and last-minute stress.
Do I need a bank statement for a Dubai visit visa?
A bank statement is not always mandatory for a 30-day visa, but it significantly strengthens your application — especially for single applicants. A 6-month statement with a healthy closing balance is recommended. If you can show a maintained balance equivalent to USD 10,000, approval is very likely regardless of profile.
What happens if my Dubai visa is rejected?
Visa fees are generally non-refundable, which is why we review every document before submission. If you were rejected elsewhere, we can assess your file, identify the likely reason, and advise the right way to reapply — many previously rejected profiles are now being approved under current conditions.
Can I extend my visit visa while in Dubai?
Yes. Most visit visas can be extended by 30 days from inside the UAE by paying extension charges, without exiting the country. Apply for the extension at least 5 days before your visa expires to avoid overstay fines of AED 100 per day.
Which Emirates can I enter with this visa?
A UAE visit visa is valid for the whole country. You can land in and travel between Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman and all other Emirates regardless of which Emirate issued the visa.
