UAE Visa FAQ for Filipino passport holders

Do Filipino citizens need a visa for the UAE?

Yes. Filipino citizens need a visa for the UAE. The usual route is the tourist visa, arranged before travel through a UAE-licensed travel agent, hotel or airline and issued electronically by ICP or GDRFA Dubai; UAE embassies do not issue tourist visas. Visarun prepares your application and arranges it through such a sponsor. Since 25 June 2026, Filipino citizens with an ordinary passport and a valid residence permit of the US, an EU state, the UK, Singapore, Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand or Canada can instead get a 14-day or 60-day visa on arrival.

How much does the UAE tourist visa cost?

GDRFA Dubai lists the single-entry tourist visa at AED 200 for 30 days or AED 300 for 60 days, and the multiple-entry visa at AED 300 for 30 days or AED 500 for 60 days, plus 5% VAT and with no security deposit. Visit Dubai shows totals of AED 305, AED 436.5, AED 405 and AED 636.5 for the same four options. ICP, which handles the other emirates, prices the visa per month and adds a refundable guarantee of AED 1,000 for single or AED 2,000 for multiple entry. Hotels, agents and airlines that sponsor visas may add their own charges, which are not official fees.

How long does the tourist visa take, and how long can I stay?

GDRFA Dubai gives an expected completion time of 48 hours and ICP lists 2 days. The tourist visa allows a stay of 30 or 60 days, with single or multiple entry, and must be used to enter the UAE within 60 days of the date of issue. ICP can extend a tourism entry permit up to 120 days in total. Each day of overstay is fined AED 50. Visarun cannot speed up or guarantee the authority's decision.

Who can get the UAE visa on arrival?

It is open to Filipino citizens with an ordinary passport who hold a residence permit issued by the US, an EU member state, the UK, Singapore, Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand or Canada, and to their accompanying family members. The permit and the passport must each be valid for at least 6 months. ICP's online service for the 60-day visa also accepts a valid visa issued by the US, the EU or the UK, while GDRFA Dubai and the June 2026 announcements ask for a residence permit. Get it at a UAE entry point, or apply online before travel through ICP (2 days) or GDRFA Dubai (48 hours).

How much is the visa on arrival, and how long can I stay?

The UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs and ICP give a total issuance fee of AED 100 for the 14-day visa and AED 250 for the 60-day visa, but ICP's online card for the 60-day visa adds an AED 100 smart services fee. The 14-day visa can be extended once for 14 days: ICP lists AED 250 plus an AED 100 application fee, while GDRFA Dubai's extension card, set up for the earlier scheme, lists AED 600 plus 5% VAT. The 60-day visa is single entry, cannot be extended and must be used within 30 days of issue. Overstays are fined AED 50 per day.
