On Arrival Extension

UAE Visa services - amer center

Service Overview

Many nationalities entering the UAE are eligible for a Visa on Arrival. However, these permits have strict durations (usually 30 or 90 days). If you wish to stay longer for tourism, family visits, or to finalize business deals, Amersmartuae provides official extension services. In 2025, we help you extend your stay legally without the need to exit the country, ensuring you avoid overstay fines and travel bans. 

Extension Eligibility by Category

  • 30-Day On-Arrival Nationalities:
    Eligible for a one-time 30-day extension. Total stay cannot exceed 60 days in most cases.
  • 90-Day On-Arrival Nationalities:
    Typically, these are "Multiple Entry" visas valid for 6 months from issuance, allowing a stay of 90 days in total. These generally cannot be extended further; a status change to a residency or long-term visit visa is required.
  • GCC Residents:
    Specific extension rules apply for GCC residents entering on permits

Key Regulations

  • The "No-Grace Period" Rule:
    Unlike residency visas, visit visas and on-arrival permits in 2025 have zero grace days. Fines start at AED 50 per day the moment the permit expires.
  • Extension Limit:
    You must apply for the extension at least 3 to 5 days before your current permit expires to ensure processing time.
  • In-Country Processing:
    Most on-arrival extensions can be done while you are inside the UAE through our digital portal.

Mandatory Documents

To process your extension, we require:

  • Clear Passport Copy:
    Valid for at least 6 months.
  • Entry Stamp:
    A clear photo or scan of the entry stamp placed in your passport at the UAE airport.
  • Passport Photo:
    A high-resolution digital color photo.
  • Proof of Insurance:
    In 2025, a valid travel insurance policy covering the extension period is mandatory

The Extension Process

  • 1. Eligibility Check:
    We verify your nationality and current entry stamp to determine the maximum allowed extension.
  • 2. Application Typing:
    We submit the extension request through the GDRFA or ICP smart channels.
  • 3. Fee Payment:
    Once the government fees and service charges are paid, the application is sent for approval
  • 4. Confirmation:
    You will receive a digital "Visa Extension" document via WhatsApp or Email. Your status is automatically updated in the airport system

Why Choose Amersmartuae?

  • Avoid Fines:
    Our team monitors your expiry date and ensures the application is filed before the "Zero-Hour" to prevent the AED 50/day overstay fee.
  • No Exit Required:
    We specialize in "In-Country" extensions, saving you the cost and hassle of an "Airport to Airport" (A2A) flight.
  • Real-Time Status:
    Get instant confirmation once your extension is approved in the government system.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How many times can I extend my On-Arrival visa?
In 2025, most 30-day on-arrival visas can only be extended once for an additional 30 days. After this, you must either exit the country or change your status to a 60-day Tourist Visa or Residency.
Yes, but all accumulated fines must be paid at the time of the extension application.
If your on-arrival permit is only for 30 days, we recommend applying for a Change Status to a 90-day Leisure Visa.
