Visiting the UAE and loving your stay? Whether you’re exploring Dubai’s modern skyline or enjoying the rich culture of Abu Dhabi, you might not be ready to leave just yet — and the good news is, you may not have to. If you’re holding a UAE tourist visa, you can extend or renew it without exiting the country.
In this guide, Rio Travels explains how to extend or renew your UAE tourist visa quickly, easily, and legally.
🧾 Can I Extend My UAE Tourist Visa Without Exiting?
Yes! The UAE allows in-country visa extensions for most tourist visa holders. That means you don’t have to leave the country or do a “visa run” to Oman or another nearby destination.
Depending on your visa type (30 or 60 days), you can usually extend it once or twice for an additional 30 days each time.
🔁 Extension vs. Renewal – What’s the Difference?
- Visa Extension: Done before your visa expires, typically for another 30 days.
- Visa Renewal: Usually requires a new visa application when your current one is close to expiring or already expired.
At Rio Travels, we assist with both options based on your travel needs.
📅 How Many Times Can I Extend?
As of the current immigration policy:
- You can extend your tourist visa up to two times.
- Each extension is valid for 30 additional days.
- No need to exit the country for these extensions.
⚠️ Overstaying without extending will result in a fine of AED 50 per day.
📝 Requirements for Visa Extension or Renewal
To process your visa extension or renewal, we usually require:
- Copy of your passport
- Copy of your current UAE visa
- Passport-size photo with white background
- Extension fee (varies depending on nationality and visa type)
Our team will handle the rest and submit your application to UAE immigration authorities.
⏱️ Processing Time
- Most visa extensions are processed within 1–2 working days.
- Urgent processing may be available upon request.
💰 Cost of UAE Visa Extension
Visa extension fees vary depending on:
- Your nationality
