How do I extend my tourist visa in Dubai?
Apply via the GDRFA Dubai app or website at least 30 days before expiry. Cost is AED 600–1,000 for a 30-day extension, renewable once. If you wait until the final days, fines may be added. A second extension may require an exit and re-entry. Some nationalities have 90-day multiple-entry on arrival — check your passport country rules.
What happens if I overstay my visa in Dubai?
An AED 50 per day fine accumulates from day one of overstay with a AED 100 entry fee on top. You cannot depart until fines are settled at the airport. Overstaying beyond 6 months may result in a travel ban lasting 1–5 years. There is no amnesty programme currently running. Pay at GDRFA Dubai or the airport immigration desk.
