DUBAI – The authorities in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have ceased the issuance of three-month visit visas, it emerged on Thursday.
A Federal Authority For Identity, Citizenship, Customs & Port Security (ICP) official also confirmed the development and said the three-month entry permit was available a few months ago, but it can not be granted anymore.
It bears mentioning that visitors to the UAE can come on a 30- or 60-day visa and travel agencies can issue them.
The development was also confirmed by travel agents who said the option to request a three-month visit visa is unavailable on the portal they use to issue permits, Khaleej Times reported.
The three-month visit visa was discontinued during the COVID-19 pandemic but was made available again as a leisure visa in May which facilitated thousands of people.
The immigration authorities in Dubai issue the 90-day visa to visitors who are first-degree relatives of residents and residents can bring their parents or relatives on the three-month scheme.
