Planning a trip to Dubai? There’s an important update you need to know before submitting your visa application.
The UAE Immigration Department has introduced a new mandatory requirement for all Dubai visa applicants: you must now upload the Passport External Cover Page along with the information page of your passport.
This change affects all nationalities and all visa types, and it applies whether you are applying for a new visa or making corrections to an existing one.
What’s the New Rule?
Starting immediately, applicants must submit two passport pages for every Dubai visa application:
- Passport Information Page – Shows your photo, name, passport number, and personal details.
- Passport Cover Page – The front external cover page of your passport, displaying the national emblem and passport type.
Both documents must be in clear, color format to avoid processing issues.
Who Does This Affect?
This rule applies to all Dubai visa categories, including:
- 14 / 30 / 60-day Tourist Visas
- Business Visas
- 48 & 96-hour Transit Visas
- Multi-Entry Visas
It is also required for:
- New Entry Permit applications
- Visa corrections and amendments
What If You’ve Already Applied?
If your application is currently marked as “Documents Required”, it will not proceed until you upload the passport cover page.
No exceptions – missing this document can lead to delays or even rejection of your visa.
Submitting Your Application the Right Way
To ensure smooth and fast processing through our partner DubaiVisa.com, make sure you upload:
Passport Information Page (photo + details)
Passport Cover Page (front cover of the passport)
Applications with both documents are processed within:
- 24–72 hours (standard processing)
- 6–24 hours (urgent processing – only if both pages are uploaded)
