Verified Next-Day Approval in 24 Hours
Updated 14 July, 2026Flying to the UAE tomorrow or within the next day, and you still need a visa? A Dubai urgent visa is the next-day priority tier of the standard UAE tourist entry permit, typically issued within about 24 hours on working days. It suits short-notice business trips, a family visit confirmed late, or a holiday you booked at the last minute.
Leaving today instead? The faster tier is our Dubai Express Visa, typically 4 to 8 hours.

A Dubai urgent visa is the next-day priority tier of the UAE tourist entry permit, typically issued within about 24 hours on UAE working days. It is not a separate visa category: it is the same official UAE tourist visa issued by the Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship (ICP) or the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA), delivered by email as a PDF e-visa. The only difference from a standard tourist visa is that the file is handled on priority for a faster turnaround.
On UAE working days, Arabiers typically returns a Dubai urgent visa within about 24 hours, a pace reflected in customer reviews. Priority handling affects how quickly the file is submitted and followed; final approval always rests with UAE immigration.
Source for the visa type, fees, validity and verification: ICP (icp.gov.ae) and GDRFA Dubai (gdrfad.gov.ae). The 24-hour turnaround is Arabiers' processing service.
The urgent visa and the express visa are the same UAE tourist entry permit on a priority tier. The difference is your travel timeline, so choose by when you fly:
| Tier | Best for | Typical turnaround | From (AED) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Express | Flying today | 4 to 8 hours | 789 |
| Urgent (this page) | Flying tomorrow / next day | About 24 hours | 649 |
| Standard | Planning ahead | 2 to 3 working days | 489 |
All three deliver the same official UAE tourist visa; only the handling speed and price differ.
Arabiers' all-inclusive urgent (next-day) pricing for 2026, with no hidden charges, is:

|---|---|
| 30 days, single entry | 649 AED |
| 60 days, single entry | 849 AED |
| 30 days, multiple entry | 1049 AED |

Incredible service, almost a miracle! I applied for an urgent visa on Saturday midday UAE time and got it Sunday morning the next day (the day I was flying), application and completion both on the weekend. Thank you Team Arabiers!
I needed an urgent visa to the UAE, lo and behold Arabiers came to the rescue. No less than 4 hours after paying for an express visa they came in clutch. I was assisted by Dilsath who went above and beyond to assist me with any questions I had and was extremely friendly. Definitely would recommend this company for your visa needs.
My business trip is very urgent, I submitted the documents on Saturday morning and the visa arrived in the evening of that day.
The team is professional and happy to answer any question I have. 👍👍
Will definitely refer and come back for other times.

I recently had an urgent need to travel to Dubai and required a visa in under 12 hours. After searching online, I came across Arabiers, a company known for providing express visa services so I decided to reach out. Their WhatsApp chat service made communication seamless, and I was impressed by their prompt responsiveness. I provided all the required documents, and true to their word, they processed and obtained my visa and I traveled as planned.
What stood out most was their promptness and excellent customer service. They answered all my questions clearly, kept me updated throughout the process, and ensured everything went smoothly.
Arabiers is undoubtedly the go-to company for anyone needing a Dubai visa quickly and efficiently. I strongly recommend their services!
Not going to talk about the tours since I didn't tried it but I have to take about theses amazing peoples.
I used their services for an urgent visa because I was stuck at Sharjah airport without visa (visa on arrival expired) a freaky Sunday...asked all the other travel agency but they all told me that they couldn't do it because it's Sunday and it's closed.
Price where way higher too...
So Ahmed from Arabiers took care of me and he managed to get me my visa after 30 MINUTES A SUNDAY!!
Incredible, theses guys are legit and really professionals, they know what they are doing so you can go eyes closed with them 1000% legit !!
Thanks again guys 🙏

A Dubai urgent visa is typically processed within about 24 hours on UAE working days (Sunday to Thursday), once all documents are correctly submitted. It is designed for travellers whose flight is the next day rather than the same day. Applications submitted earlier in the day are picked up in the earliest available batch. Final approval is subject to UAE immigration authorities. If your departure is today, the faster tier is the Dubai express visa (4 to 8 hours).
Time of submission: a file submitted earlier in a working day is processed in an earlier batch. Late-evening submissions are picked up the following morning.
Document completeness: a missing passport copy, an unclear photo, or a name mismatch pauses the file for correction and can push a next-day file to the following working day.
UAE weekends and public holidays (Friday and Saturday): no processing occurs. A file submitted on Thursday evening is processed the following Sunday.
Peak travel seasons: November to February, and during major events, immigration queues are longer. Apply as early as you can within your next-day window.
Nationality-based checks: some passport holders require additional immigration screening that is outside any agency's control. You will be advised at the time of application.
Scan and share the following by email or WhatsApp:
A colour copy of your passport, valid for at least 6 months.
A passport-size photograph against a white background.
A birth certificate, if the applicant is a minor.
A copy of the UAE Residence Visa page of a friend or relative, if they are sponsoring your visit.
Valid travel medical insurance covering the UAE (recommended).
Citizens of many countries receive a free visa on arrival and do not need to apply in advance, so a paid urgent visa is only needed once that on-arrival period does not apply. In brief:
Eligibility changes over time. Always verify your current status on the official ICP portal (icp.gov.ae) or GDRFA portal (gdrfad.gov.ae) before booking.
A next-day file may be delayed or declined if:
These conditions follow UAE immigration rules administered by ICP and GDRFA.

Dubai's tourist-visa process is generally straightforward and rejections are uncommon. When they happen, the grounds are usually specific: application errors, a criminal record, or past immigration violations. Priority handling speeds up how quickly the file is reviewed; it does not change the eligibility rules, so a next-day file is assessed on the same criteria as any other.
The UAE does not ask for financial proof, flight tickets or hotel bookings during processing, so "insufficient funds" is not a valid ground for rejection. If a provider cites it, ask for the official rejection notice.
1. Verify your visa. Your e-visa PDF shows an entry permit number (EP number), passport number, issuing authority (ICP or GDRFA), visa type and validity dates. Verify it on the ICP portal at icp.gov.ae using your entry permit number and passport number.
2. Carry the right documents at the airport. Present your approved visa (printout or on your phone), your original passport valid for at least 6 months, a confirmed return or onward ticket, and proof of accommodation if asked.
3. Validity starts on entry. A 30-day visa runs from the date you enter the UAE, not the date of issue, and you have 60 days from issue to make your first entry.
4. Valid across all Emirates. The visa is valid in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain.
5. Do not book non-refundable flights before approval. Processing is typically about 24 hours, but delays can occur for reasons outside anyone's control.
Dubai visa scams are common, particularly targeting Indian, Pakistani, Sri Lankan and Bangladeshi travellers. Before you pay any agency for a next-day visa, run two quick checks:
1. Check the DET trade licence. Every licensed travel and tourism company in Dubai holds a Dubai Economy and Tourism (DET) trade licence. Arabiers' licence number is 1176592, verifiable on the DET business search portal at dubai.ae/business. If a provider cannot show a licence number, do not pay.
2. Verify your visa on the government portal. Use the official ICP visa check at icp.gov.ae and enter your entry permit number and passport number. If the visa does not appear on the government system, it is not real.
Two red flags: a compulsory "insurance" or "security" fee demanded only after you have paid, and a total price below the government fee alone (the baseline UAE government fee is around AED 335, so any total below roughly AED 350 cannot be genuine). Legitimate pricing is all-inclusive and shown before you pay.
Arabiers has physical walk-in offices in Dubai (Hamarain Centre, Deira), Delhi and Colombo, and all payments go through a verified online gateway. The DET licence (1176592) is publicly verifiable.
If you are already in the UAE and your current tourist visa is close to expiry, you have options:
Apply for a new visa before the current one expires. Submit while your visa is still valid and a new one is issued without leaving the country.
Airport-to-airport visa change. If your visa has already expired, a short trip to a nearby destination such as Muscat lets you re-enter on a fresh visa. See the Airport-to-Airport Visa Change page.
Do not overstay. UAE overstay fines are AED 50 per day plus an AED 100 administrative fee, with a 10-day grace period. Resolve any overstay before applying for a new visa.
A Dubai urgent visa is a next-day priority tier of the UAE tourist entry permit, typically approved within about 24 hours on working days. It is not a separate visa category: it is the same official UAE tourist visa issued by ICP or GDRFA, handled on priority and delivered by email as a PDF e-visa.
A Dubai urgent visa is typically processed within about 24 hours on UAE working days (Sunday to Thursday). It suits travellers flying the next day. Final approval always rests with UAE immigration.
A Dubai urgent visa costs from AED 649 for a 30-day single entry, all-inclusive. A 60-day single entry costs AED 849, a 30-day multiple entry costs AED 1,049, and a 60-day multiple entry costs AED 1,249. All prices include the government fee, priority surcharge, typing and PRO fees.
Both are the same UAE tourist entry permit on a priority tier. The urgent visa targets next-day travel, typically about 24 hours. The express visa is the faster tier for travellers flying the same day, typically 4 to 8 hours. Choose urgent when your flight is tomorrow, and express when it is today.
Travellers who need a UAE tourist visa and are flying within about a day, for example a next-day business trip, a planned family visit that was confirmed late, or a short-notice holiday. Citizens eligible for visa on arrival do not need it.
A colour scan of your passport bio-data page valid for at least 6 months, and a recent passport-size photo on a white background. A minor applicant needs a birth certificate; a UAE-resident sponsor needs a copy of their residence visa page. Travel insurance is recommended.
Yes. It is the same official UAE tourist entry permit issued by ICP or GDRFA. The only difference is that the file is handled on a priority tier for a faster turnaround. The e-visa PDF is identical to a standard tourist visa.
Yes. A UAE tourist visa issued via ICP or GDRFA is valid across all seven Emirates: Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain.
Your visa validity begins from the date of first entry into the UAE, not the date of issue. You must enter the UAE within 60 days of the issue date, or the visa expires unused.
The UAE visa fee is non-refundable once processing begins, this is a UAE immigration regulation. If an application is rejected, the official reason is provided, and in most cases a fresh application can be submitted once the underlying issue is resolved.
Check the agency's UAE DET trade licence number on the Dubai Economy and Tourism portal (dubai.ae/business). Arabiers' DET licence is 1176592. After you receive your visa, verify it on the official ICP portal (icp.gov.ae) using your entry permit number and passport number.
Yes, if your current visa has not expired: submit before it expires and a new visa is issued without leaving the UAE. If it has expired, an airport-to-airport visa change or an extension may apply.
Yes. Indian nationals are among the most frequent applicants. Applications are handled from the licensed Dubai office (DET Licence 1176592) and the Delhi office (305, Laxmi Deep Building), with online application and in-person assistance for applicants in India.
