Can I enter the UAE multiple times with my eVisa?
Yes, the ability to enter the UAE multiple times will depend on the kind of visa you chose in the application procedure.
Single-entry vs Multiple-entry eVisa
- Single-entry eVisa: Entitles only one entry in the UAE. A single-entry visa becomes void only after you have entered and then exited the UAE. If you have not yet used it, it remains valid until its expiry date.
- Multiple-entry eVisas: may have a total validity of 30, 60, 90 days, or up to 5 years. However, each entry typically allows a stay of up to 30 days, depending on visa type and approval terms.
How to choose the right visa
In the process of applying to Uaevisa.ae, you will notice that you will be asked to select either single-entry or multiple-entry:
- Travel itinerary (e.g., side trips to Oman, Qatar)
- Business meetings in different emirates
- Entry via different airports is allowed on either single or multiple-entry visas as long as your visa remains valid
Cost difference
As multi-entry visas have a longer period of use and extra security audits, the price of the multi-entry visa is usually more costly than single-entry visas.
Overstay warning
Be it the single or multiple entry, make sure you do not overstay your permissible time during any visit. Overstays are punished with fines and can impact future visa decisions.
Note: Some multiple-entry visas allow a maximum stay of 30 days per visit, even if the visa is valid for 60 or 90 days overall. Always check your visa terms.
Conclusion
A multiple-entry eVisa allows entering the UAE several times, and you should choose this option during the application. Ensure that your travelling arrangement fits the type of visa selected to prevent an inconvenient situation at the immigration office.
