Transit visa (48 or 96 hours)
Last verified:
How long it lasts
A transit visa is issued for either 48 or 96 hours. It is a single-entry visa and cannot be extended. Because the limit is counted in hours from arrival rather than in calendar days, DAYOZA does not compute a departure date for it.
Who it is for
Transit visas are arranged by UAE-based airlines. Work from the exact arrival time on your boarding documents, not from the calendar date.

If you overstay
50 AED per day
This is the published daily rate applied from the first day past your permitted departure. No grace period is applied, because none could be verified — the real amount may be lower. Settle it with the authority.
What this page does not tell you
Whether you qualify for this permit, and whether your nationality is granted a visa on arrival, are decisions for the UAE authorities. DAYOZA publishes what the official pages state about the permit itself; it does not assess applicants.
