The United Arab Emirates has published the official visa fees that foreign nationals are expected to pay when applying to visit the country, covering two distinct categories based on travel frequency.
According to information on the UAE government's official website, visitors can apply for visas that permit stays of 30, 60, or 90 days, with the duration chosen by the applicant at the point of application.

Single-entry vs multiple-entry UAE visa
The two visa types on offer are differentiated by how many times a traveller intends to enter the country.
For those planning a single trip, whether for a family visit or any other purpose, the government charges a base fee of 100 AED, which is equivalent to approximately N37,570.86.
Travellers who require the flexibility of entering and exiting the UAE more than once will need to apply for a multiple-entry visa. This option carries a higher fee of 200 AED, or around N75,141.73.
Additional charges apply
Beyond the base fees for either visa type, the UAE government also requires applicants to pay additional charges as part of the full application process. The authorities did not consolidate all costs into a single figure, meaning the amounts listed above do not represent the total sum an applicant would pay.
Prospective travellers are advised to review the full breakdown of fees on the UAE government's official portal before submitting an application, to ensure they account for every applicable charge.
