Visa extension for Central African Republic passport

A Visa extension allows Central African Republic passport holders to add 30 days to a UAE visit visa without exiting, flying anywhere or crossing a border. At White Sky Travel a 30 day extension is AED 1,200, processed in around two to three working days, with every step on WhatsApp. Read on for the rules that apply to Central African Republic passports: cost, number of extensions, timing, documents and the exit routes once the maximum is reached.

Quick answer: a Visa extension for a Central African Republic passport costs AED 1,200 per 30 days and is processed inside the UAE in two to three working days. A 30 day visa can be extended three times and a 60 day visa twice, up to a total stay of 120 days. Apply at least five to seven days before expiry, and note that the extension must be processed by the agency that issued the original visa.

How an in country UAE visa extension works

An in country Visa extension extends the visa you already hold rather than issuing a fresh one. The request goes to immigration under the account that issued the visa, and approval extends the expiry date linked to your Central African Republic passport. Nothing physical happens on your side; you continue your visit and we send the approved extension on WhatsApp.

Visa change by air or by bus means exiting and re entering on a new visa; a Visa extension avoids the exit altogether. Wherever a Central African Republic citizen is still within the extension limits, this is the option we recommend before anything else.

Is a Visa extension available for Central African Republic citizens?

A Visa extension is available when the visa type allows it, the extension count has not been exhausted, and the application goes through the original issuer. Message a photo of your visa to our WhatsApp and we confirm eligibility for Central African Republic citizens before you pay anything.

• Visitors on an agency issued 30 or 60 day visit visa who have not yet reached the extension limit.
• Applicants whose total stay, including the new extension, will not exceed 120 days from the original entry date.
• Applicants whose original visa was issued by White Sky Travel. In country extensions can only be processed by the agency that issued the visa, because immigration handles the request through the issuer’s account.

If we did not issue your visa, the original agency can extend it, or we can reset you on a new 60 day visa through an airport to airport change (AED 1,550) or the bus to Oman (from AED 1,000). On arrival stamps and residence visas fall outside this service.

How much does a Visa extension cost?

A 30 day extension is AED 1,200 for all passports, Central African Republic included; there is no nationality based pricing on extensions.

• 30 day extension: AED 1,200
• Sixty days of extension: AED 2,400, applied as two 30 day steps

The charge covers immigration and processing costs and is not refundable if the extension is refused. Any overstay fine is settled separately with immigration and is not included in the AED 1,200. For 30 extra days the extension is cheaper and simpler than any exit route; for a full 60 days with no extensions remaining, the airport to airport change or the bus route becomes the better buy for Central African Republic travellers.

Payment options

For UAE residents applying on behalf of Central African Republic family or friends, the AED 1,200 can be spread with Tabby up to 12 months, Tamara on extendable terms, or a UAE credit card over 3, 6, 9 or 12 months according to the bank. Everyone else is sent a secure payment link online. Group applications for a family are processed as one, with the total eligible for instalments.

Documents required for a Visa extension on a Central African Republic passport

Since immigration already has your file from the original visa, an extension needs only a few items. WhatsApp us:

1. Your Central African Republic passport data page, with six months or more validity remaining.
2. A colour passport size photo on a white background, without glasses.
3. Your existing visa PDF, which tells us the entry date, expiry and extension count.

The extension does not call for a bank statement, accommodation proof or a return ticket. Immigration may occasionally request an additional document on a case by case basis, and we will tell you immediately if that happens for a Central African Republic passport.

How Central African Republic citizens apply

1. Send your documents on WhatsApp to +971 52 292 1011 or +971 4 220 2133 at least five to seven days before your visa expires. We check the expiry date and extension count and confirm eligibility the same day.
2. Pay through the secure link or instalment plan we send. Submission to immigration starts only after payment is received.
3. We lodge the application and track it. Approval for Central African Republic passports usually takes two to three working days; immigration can sometimes extend this.
4. We forward the extension PDF on WhatsApp; the new expiry date is on it, so keep it handy.

Timing your Visa extension

An extension is only possible on a live visa, which is why the expiry date is the hard deadline. Because approval takes two to three working days and government offices close at weekends and on public holidays, Central African Republic passport holders should message us five to seven days before expiry. If you plan to extend more than once, apply for the next extension a few days before the current one ends, and keep an eye on the 120 day total.

No grace period and the AED 50 daily fine

There is no grace period on a UAE visit visa. The overstay fine is AED 50 per day, applied uniformly across every emirate and visa category, from the first day past expiry. After 30 days of overstay, an exit permit costing about AED 250 to 300 becomes necessary as well. After expiry the only option is an exit route; we handle the airport to airport change or the Oman bus for Central African Republic passports.

When extension is no longer possible

Once a Central African Republic visitor has used every extension and reached 120 days, exit is mandatory. Four options follow: airport to airport at AED 1,550 and back the same day, the bus to Oman from AED 1,000 taking roughly a day, a return home before a new visa, or a residence visa through an employer or family member. Both exit routes issue a new 60 day tourist visa regardless of which agency issued the original, and we arrange either on WhatsApp.

Common problems for Central African Republic applicants and how we prevent them

• Leaving it to the last day. An expired visa cannot be extended, so allow a week.
• Approaching a different agency. The same agency rule means we can only extend visas we issued; for others, use an exit route.
• Losing track of cumulative days. The 120 day cap runs from first entry, including every extension.
• A passport expiring soon. Renew it before applying.
• Confusing residency or arrival stamps with agency visit visas, which are the only ones we can extend.

Questions Central African Republic travellers ask us

Do I have to leave the UAE to extend?

Yes. Agency issued 30 day and 60 day visit visas can be extended from inside the UAE without leaving, provided you still have extensions remaining, your total stay will not exceed 120 days, and the application goes through the agency that issued the visa.

What is the 1 month visa extension price in Dubai?

The extension fee is AED 1,200 for 30 days and AED 2,400 for 60 days (two back to back extensions), identical for all passports including Central African Republic.

When will I receive the extension?

Expect two to three working days for a Central African Republic passport, with a buffer for weekends and holidays.

How many extensions are allowed?

Three extensions on a 30 day visa, two on a 60 day visa, 30 days each. Total stay cannot exceed 120 days from the original entry.

What if my visa came from a different agency?

Extensions go through the issuer’s account, so a visa from another agency must be extended by them. Alternatively, we arrange an airport to airport change or the Oman bus, neither of which depends on who issued the first visa.

How many days can I stay after the visa ends?

No grace days exist. Overstaying costs AED 50 per day from day one, plus an exit permit of approximately AED 250 to 300 once the overstay passes 30 days.

What about family members on Central African Republic passports?

Certainly. We extend the whole family at once, and residents sponsoring Central African Republic relatives can pay the combined AED 1,200 per person on an instalment plan.

What happens if it is not approved?

Refusals are rare when the eligibility rules are met. If immigration declines, the fee is not refundable because the government charge is paid at submission, and you would need to exit before expiry through an airport to airport change or the bus to Oman. We check eligibility carefully before you pay to keep this risk low.
