With effect from July 29, 2008, the procedures and charges for getting the visit visa has been revamped in line with a cabinet decision.
The residents can apply for a 30-day or 90-day non-renewable visit visa only for their spouse or blood relatives of 1st or 2nd degree. The visit visa holders can enter the UAE once within 2 months from the date of issue. Applicants will also have to pay the Dh1000 refundable deposit and show proof of health insurance.
A foreign wife of a citizen of a GCC country can only obtain a visit visa if she holds a residence visa in the home country of her husband.
