Indian passport - applied for a week in Dubai. The team caught that my photo was the wrong format and fixed it, and the visa came through on the Express speed well before my flight.

What Iranian travellers said
Rated 3.5 / 5 by 2,147 verified travellers worldwide. Here are a few recent reviews from customers we have helped with their visa applications.
Pakistani passport - chose the 60-day multiple entry so I could pop over to Oman and come back. Clear all-inclusive price and they reminded me to have my hotel booking ready.
Nigerian passport - smooth from start to finish for an Abu Dhabi and Dubai trip. They checked my onward ticket and accommodation before submitting. Approved comfortably ahead of time.
Tips for Iranians visiting the UAE
A short layover may be visa-free
Connecting through Dubai without leaving the airport can be done without a visa - but you need this visa to leave the airport or stay overnight.
Pick 30 or 60 days
Choose the stay length and single or multiple entry that fit your trip - 60-day multiple suits longer or repeat visits.
Keep hotel and ticket handy
The UAE expects proof of accommodation and an onward or return flight at the gate.
Apply about two weeks ahead
Each application goes through a UAE security check, so do not book a tight timeline.
