UAE Visa Extension
If your trip is running longer than planned, most UAE tourist visas can be extended for an additional period without needing to leave the country. TravelChoice handles the extension application on your behalf, so you avoid the risk of overstaying while your paperwork is processed.
Extensions must be applied for before your current visa expires — once it lapses, you may face overstay fines, so we recommend starting the extension process at least a few days ahead of your expiry date.
Extension pricing and the exact additional period granted depend on your current visa type and nationality — contact our team with your visa details and we'll confirm your options and current pricing.
