How much is a visa to Dubai from the USA?

The cost of a visa to Dubai from the USA depends on your passport nationality, the length of your stay, and whether you need a visa arranged before travelling. If you are a US citizen travelling on a regular US passport for a short visit, you generally do not need to pay for a tourist visa in advance. Eligible US citizens can receive a visa on arrival in the UAE.

However, if you live in the United States but hold a passport from another country, you may need a pre-arranged Dubai eVisa. In that case, the total cost depends on the visa category and service provider.

Dubai Visa Fees for Travelers Applying from the USA

According to the publishedUAE Immigration Services visa fee schedule, the following government and administrative fees apply to common eVisa categories:

Dubai visa type	Government and administrative fee
7-day single-entry tourist visa	US$105
14-day single-entry tourist visa	US$130
30-day single-entry tourist visa	US$160
60-day single-entry tourist visa	US$210
90-day single-entry tourist visa	US$460
30-day multiple-entry tourist visa	US$260
60-day multiple-entry tourist visa	US$290

These are the provider's published fees, not universal government prices for every applicant. Certain nationalities may have different fees or additional documentation requirements.

Additional Dubai eVisa Service Charges

If you apply through UAE Immigration Services, a separate service fee may also apply. The provider lists the following charges for an application covering one person:

Normal processing: US$79, with estimated processing within three business days for single-entry visas.
Urgent processing: An additional US$79, with estimated processing within two business days.
Super-urgent processing: An additional US$99, with estimated processing within one business day.

For example, a 30-day single-entry eVisa would have an illustrative total of US$239 using the listed US$160 in government and administrative fees plus the US$79 normal service fee. Additional charges may apply, and processing estimates are not guarantees of approval.

What Determines the Cost of Your Dubai Visa?

Several factors can affect your final visa cost:

Passport nationality: US residents who are not US citizens may have different eligibility and fee requirements.
Length of stay: A longer visit may require a more expensive visa category.
Entry type: Multiple-entry visas generally cost more than comparable single-entry options.
Processing speed: Priority services increase the overall cost.
Additional charges: Payment processing, currency conversion, or other applicable fees may affect the final amount.

Before applying, confirm which visa category suits your travel plans and check the complete price at checkout.

How to Apply for a Dubai Visa from the USA
