The UAE government has made it simpler for family members or friends of citizens to extend their stay in the nation by introducing a new and simplified method for visit visa extensions.
Holders of visas can now extend their stay by 30 days, according to the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs, and Port Security (ICP). Simply pay an AED 750 fee through the smart app UAEICP to accomplish this.
Conditions To Meet For 30 Days UAE Visa Extension
Visitors must be physically present in the UAE and have a passport that is valid for at least six months in order to apply for a visa extension.
The original entry permit and a colored personal photo that complies with the requirements are needed documentation for the extension.
During the application procedure, it is necessary to submit accurate and comprehensive information and documents.
After 30 days, any incomplete or missing information will be rejected electronically. An application will be permanently rejected if it is turned down three times. Refunds for applications that aren’t accepted solely include the issuance fees and any financial assurances that were given.
Refunds can be obtained using credit card payments and are processed within six months of the application date. Banks operating in the UAE additionally provide the choice of refunds via check or bank transfer, which can be accessed within a five-year limit.
Through its user-friendly mobile app, ICP has made significant efforts to streamline the procedure of extending visit visas for family members or friends.
There are requirements that must be completed in order to grant relatives or friends visit visas, including presenting proof of the relationship and the cause for the visit.
For instance, a foreign wife visiting her husband who is a citizen of the GCC must possess a current resident permit in that nation.
