2026 Update:

| Detail | What it means |
|---|---|
| Visa type | 90-day multiple-entry tourist visa on arrival |
| Stay permitted | Up to 90 days total within a 6-month window |
| Entries | Multiple entries within the 6-month window |
| Cost | Free: issued by UAE immigration at arrival |
| Application needed | None. Present your Bosnia and Herzegovina passport. |

No grace period:
As of October 2024, ICP removed the grace period on UAE tourist visas. Overstay fines begin on the first day after expiry. Exit or apply for an extension before your stamp expires.
What to Do After 90 Days
If you want to stay beyond your on-arrival allowance, you have three options:
1. Apply for a UAE tourist visa extension
If you are still inside the UAE and your stamp is valid, apply for a UAE tourist visa extension before it expires. Processed through ICP or GDRFA from inside the country.
2. Exit and re-enter for a fresh stamp
If you have remaining on-arrival days in your 6-month window, exit the UAE and return. Most Dubai visitors use a short trip to Oman. See our guide on the Oman border crossing for UAE visitors.
3. Apply for a sponsored prepaid visa
Once your on-arrival days are fully used, apply for a sponsored UAE tourist visit visa through Arabiers. Available in 30 or 60 days. Need it quickly? An express visa in 4 to 8 hours is also available.
