Planning to fly into Dubai, sail to Oman on a cruise, drive across to Saudi Arabia, or visit a wedding in both Dubai and Sharjah on different days? The 30-day multiple entry UAE visa is built for that — unlimited entries and exits over a 30-day window, starting from AED 750.
This is the savvy traveller’s choice. A standard 30-day single-entry UAE visa costs about AED 350 but locks you into a single trip. For roughly AED 400 more, multi-entry gives you complete flexibility — no stress if you decide to add a Gulf side trip mid-holiday.
When you should pick multi-entry over single-entry
- Dubai cruise itineraries — most cruises from Dubai stop in Oman (Muscat) and Iran. Without multi-entry you can’t re-board the UAE leg.
- Oman / Saudi / Qatar side trips — Indian business travellers often combine Dubai meetings with a quick Riyadh, Muscat or Doha stop.
- Multi-emirate weddings or events — one event in Dubai, another in Sharjah or Abu Dhabi on a different day — sometimes counted as separate entries if you exit briefly.
- NRIs with family across the Gulf — visiting relatives in Dubai + Bahrain + Kuwait in one trip needs multi-entry.
- You’re unsure of plans — if there’s any chance you’ll leave and re-enter, multi-entry pays for itself.
30-day multi entry UAE visa cost
From AED 750 all-in. Includes:
- UAE government 30-day multiple entry visa fee
- Free document pre-check
- Submission through ICA or GDRFA
- WhatsApp updates
- Visa PDF emailed on issue
Compare to the 30-day single entry at AED 350. The AED 400 premium is small relative to the value of an unplanned side trip or a guaranteed cruise re-entry.

Extending a 30-day multi entry visa
You can extend by 30 more days from inside the UAE (standard tourist visa extension). Or use the A2A 60-day extension for a longer add-on. Note: any exit-and-reentry during the extension counts towards the multi-entry allowance, not against it.
