The official Dubai visa price in Pakistan is AED 210 (about Rs 16,000) for a 30-day tourist visa and AED 315 (about Rs 24,000) for a 60-day visa, including 5% VAT, according to GDRFA Dubai. Travel agents in Pakistan charge more because they add health insurance, their Dubai partner’s fee and their own margin. Emirates sells its own prearranged visas from US$90 (about Rs 25,200) for 30 days to its passengers.

Dubai visa price in Pakistan: official fee table
These are government fees published by the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA) Dubai. The rupee column is a conversion, not an official PKR price. The UAE charges in dirhams, and your agent’s rate may be a little higher.
| Visa (Dubai) | Official fee | With 5% VAT | Approx. in rupees |
|---|---|---|---|
| 30-day single-entry tourist visa | AED 200 | AED 210 | Rs 16,023 |
| 60-day single-entry tourist visa | AED 300 | AED 315 | Rs 24,034 |
| 30-day family/friend visit visa (non-refundable part) | AED 200 + AED 40 insurance + AED 60 deposit fees | about AED 310 | Rs 23,653 |
| 60-day family/friend visit visa (non-refundable part) | AED 300 + AED 60 insurance + AED 60 deposit fees | about AED 435 | Rs 33,190 |
| 90-day family/friend visit visa (non-refundable part) | AED 400 + AED 90 insurance + AED 60 deposit fees | about AED 570 | Rs 43,491 |
| Refundable deposit (family/friend visa) | AED 1,000 | No VAT | Rs 76,300 |
| 5-year multiple-entry tourist visa | AED 713 + AED 3,000 refundable guarantee | AED 3,713 total | Rs 283,302 (Rs 54,402 non-refundable) |
Sources: GDRFA single-entry tourist visa, GDRFA relative or friend visit visa (deposit service fee AED 20 plus collection and refund fee AED 40) and GDRFA 5-year multi-entry tourist visa. GDRFA notes that the final total “may vary” with the applicant’s circumstances.
The 30 and 60-day tourist visa has no security deposit. That matters, because some agents still ask Pakistani clients for a “guarantee” on this visa. If they do, ask for it in writing with refund terms.
Pakistan to Dubai visa price through Emirates
Emirates arranges UAE visas for passengers flying Emirates both ways on one booking. Prices on the Emirates Pakistan visa page are in US dollars and include VAT.
| Emirates visa | Stay | Price | Approx. in rupees |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tourist, single entry | 30 days | US$90 | Rs 25,232 |
| Tourist, multiple entry | 30 days | US$136 | Rs 38,128 |
| Tourist, single entry | 60 days | US$177 | Rs 49,622 |
| Tourist, multiple entry | 60 days | US$231 | Rs 64,761 |
| Transit | 96 hours | US$49 | Rs 13,737 |
| Transit | 48 hours | US$10 | Rs 2,804 |
Emirates needs a ticket number starting “176”, a hotel booking that matches the flight dates, and at least four working days before arrival. Its page does not say which of these visa types are open to Pakistani nationals in particular, so check eligibility in the booking before you pay. Visa fees are non-refundable once processed. We could not open flydubai’s visa services page on 19 October 2026, so flydubai prices are not listed here.
Dubai visa cost from Pakistan: the extra charges
The government fee is only part of what you pay. These are the other costs that appear on an agent’s invoice.
- Health insurance. GDRFA requires insurance valid in the UAE for tourist visas. For family visas GDRFA lists AED 40 to AED 90 depending on length. Agents usually bundle it.
- Dubai partner fee. GDRFA says only accredited Dubai tourism offices can issue tourist visas, so every Pakistani agent pays a UAE company that adds its own charge.
- Agent service charge. The Pakistani agency’s own fee for documents, follow-up and printing.
- Exchange rate margin. Agents convert at their own dirham rate.
- Express processing. Some agents offer faster processing at extra cost. The official processing time is already 48 hours.
- In-country fees. If the visa is issued while the person is already in the UAE, GDRFA adds AED 500 plus AED 20 in Knowledge and Innovation Dirham fees.
Pay attention to how you pay. Rupee prices from agents follow the dirham, so a quote from last month may not hold. If you are paying a UAE-based relative back for a family visa, our guide to opening a Wise account from Pakistan covers the cheaper transfer options.
UAE visa price in Pakistan for Abu Dhabi and Sharjah
Visas sponsored outside Dubai go through the federal ICP visa issuance service. ICP lists an AED 100 application fee, an AED 100 smart service fee, and an issuance fee of AED 100 per month for single entry or AED 200 per month for multiple entry. It also lists a financial guarantee of AED 1,000 (single entry) or AED 2,000 (multiple entry) plus an AED 20 deposit fee. The guarantee is refundable after you leave on time. ICP’s page does not clearly say which of these apply to each visa category, so ask your sponsor for an itemised ICP receipt.
Why agent prices for a Dubai visa differ so much
Search Facebook or OLX and you will see a wide range of rupee prices for the same 30-day visa. The main reasons are:
- Some quotes include insurance and some do not.
- Some agents bundle a refundable ticket or a hotel booking.
- Dubai partner companies charge different rates, and a company with a good approval record for Pakistani files charges more.
- Some agents charge a separate “rejection protection” or deposit.
- Prices rise when approvals slow down, as they did in 2025, and fall when they ease, as Arab News reported in August 2026.
Ask every agent the same question: “What is the total in rupees, what does it include, and what do I get back if the visa is rejected?” Compare answers on that basis, not on the headline price.
How to avoid Dubai visa scams
Visa fraud is one reason the UAE tightened checks on Pakistani applicants, according to Pakistan’s Foreign Office statement to the National Assembly in March 2025. Protect yourself with these checks.
- Use a licensed travel agency with a verifiable licence number and a physical office, not a WhatsApp number alone.
- Never accept a “job visa” sold as a visit visa. A visit visa does not allow work.
- Do not pay for a fake hotel booking or bank statement. Forged documents can lead to a ban.
- Once you receive the e-visa, check that the name and passport number match exactly, and confirm the visa through the official GDRFA or ICP website or app.
- Pay by bank transfer or card to a business account so there is a record.
- Be careful of anyone promising a “guaranteed” visa for a higher fee. Only GDRFA or ICP decides.

Overstay fines and other costs to plan for
ICP charges AED 50 a day for an overstay, about Rs 3,815 per day at today’s rate. On the 5-year visa, GDRFA collects fines at the airport and the AED 3,000 guarantee can be forfeited. Plan your return date before you buy the visa. If you are comparing destinations on a budget, our Turkey visa price from Pakistan and Maldives visa guides show the alternatives.
