The UAE offers a family group visit visa, allowing children under 18 to obtain a free visa, while parents incur regular charges. Introduced two years ago, it has become a popular option for visitors worldwide, particularly during festive seasons.
To apply, families need to submit passport copies and photos to a travel agency, along with applicable fees. While the visa is free for children, there are service charges and insurance fees. The visa is typically processed within one to two days.
Visitors can extend the family visa for up to 120 days without exiting the country, but a full visa fee must be paid for children. This extension policy offers flexibility for families wishing to spend an extended period of time in the UAE.
