Visa extension for Cuba passport

When a Cuba citizen wants more time in the UAE, a Visa extension adds 30 days to the current visit visa from inside the country. We process the extension for AED 1,200 per 30 day block, usually within two to three working days, and the whole application runs on WhatsApp. Read on for the rules that apply to Cuba passports: cost, number of extensions, timing, documents and the exit routes once the maximum is reached.

The essentials for Cuba citizens: AED 1,200 per 30 day extension, no exit required, two to three working days processing, a 120 day ceiling on total stay, and a five to seven day lead time before expiry. Only the issuing agency can process it.

What is a Visa extension without exit?

Unlike a visa change, a Visa extension keeps your existing visa and simply adds 30 days to it. The request goes to immigration under the account that issued the visa, and approval extends the expiry date linked to your Cuba passport. There is no travel involved: you stay in the UAE, keep your accommodation and wait for the approval on WhatsApp.

The exit routes, airport to airport and bus to Oman, issue a brand new visa after you leave; an extension does not require leaving at all. Wherever a Cuba citizen is still within the extension limits, this is the option we recommend before anything else.

Who from Cuba can apply for a Visa extension?

Whether you qualify comes down to your current visa, your extension history and who issued the original visa. WhatsApp us your visa copy and we will tell you straight away if an extension is possible for a Cuba passport or if you need a visa change instead.

• Visit and tourist visa holders on a 30 day or 60 day visa issued through a travel agency. A 30 day visa can be extended three times and a 60 day visa twice, each by 30 days.
• Applicants whose total stay, including the new extension, will not exceed 120 days from the original entry date.
• Those whose visa came from White Sky Travel, since extensions run through the issuing account under immigration rules.

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.

Cuba passport Visa extension price

The Visa extension fee is AED 1,200 per 30 day extension, and the price is the same for every nationality, including Cuba.

• One month visa extension: AED 1,200 for 30 days
• Two month visa extension: AED 2,400, processed as two consecutive 30 day extensions

This price includes the immigration fee and our handling. On rejection the fee is retained by immigration and cannot be returned. If a fine has accrued, it is paid to immigration in addition to the extension fee. If you only need a month, extend; if you need two months and have run out of extensions, a new visa by air or bus is the better route for a Cuba passport.

Pay in monthly instalments

Residents of the UAE booking for Cuba visitors can use Tabby for up to 12 months, Tamara with extendable repayment, or a UAE credit card with 3, 6, 9 or 12 month terms set by the card issuer. Applicants who are not UAE residents pay through a secure online link. Family extensions are handled together, and the combined total can be split the same way.

What Cuba citizens need to send us

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

1. Passport copy showing at least six months validity.
2. One colour passport photo on a plain white background.
3. Your existing visa PDF, which tells us the entry date, expiry and extension count.

No bank statement, hotel booking or return ticket is required for the extension itself. Should immigration want anything more for a Cuba passport, we will contact you on WhatsApp at once.

The application process step by step

1. Message +971 52 292 1011 or +971 4 220 2133 on WhatsApp five to seven days ahead of expiry with your documents. We review them and confirm eligibility within hours.
2. Make the payment through the link we send. We submit as soon as it is confirmed.
3. We lodge the application and track it. Approval for Cuba passports usually takes two to three working days; immigration can sometimes extend this.
4. You receive the approved extension as a PDF on WhatsApp showing the new expiry date. Keep it with your passport for the rest of your stay.

Do not wait until the last day

An extension is only possible on a live visa, which is why the expiry date is the hard deadline. We ask Cuba travellers to contact us five to seven days ahead, because processing takes two to three working days and weekends and public holidays do not count. For consecutive extensions, submit each new request a few days before the previous extension expires and track your cumulative stay against the 120 day limit.

Why the expiry date is final

Visitors do not receive any grace days after the expiry date. An expired visa attracts AED 50 per day in fines from day one, and the rate is the same everywhere in the UAE. If the overstay passes 30 days, an exit permit of around AED 250 to 300 is required on top of the fines. If your visa has already expired, extension is off the table; the practical route is to pay the fine and exit through an airport to airport change or the bus to Oman, and we can arrange either.

When extension is no longer possible

The 120 day ceiling is absolute; after it, every Cuba visitor has to exit. From there you have four routes: an airport to airport visa change at AED 1,550 with a same day return by flydubai, a visa change by bus to Oman from AED 1,000 over about one day, returning home and applying for a fresh visa later, or converting to a residence visa if an employer or family sponsor is available. Both exit routes issue a new 60 day tourist visa regardless of which agency issued the original, and we arrange either on WhatsApp.

Why extensions get refused or delayed

• 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.
• Assuming the clock resets with each extension. It does not; 120 days is the total from entry.
• Less than six months on the passport, which blocks the extension.
• Expecting an on arrival stamp to be extendable. It is not; a visa change is required instead.

Answers for Cuba citizens

Can I extend my UAE visit visa without exiting on a Cuba passport?

You can. Cuba passport holders on an agency issued 30 or 60 day visa extend in country as long as extensions remain, the 120 day limit is respected, and the issuing agency files the request.

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 Cuba.

How many days until approval?

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

How many times can a Cuba citizen extend a UAE tourist visa?

A 30 day visa can be extended three times and a 60 day visa twice, each by 30 days. The maximum continuous stay on any UAE tourist visa is 120 days, after which exit is mandatory.

What if my visa came from a different agency?

The same agency rule applies to every nationality, Cuba included. If we did not issue the visa, we cannot extend it, but we can reset you on a new 60 day visa by air (AED 1,550) or bus (from AED 1,000).

When do fines start?

None. The AED 50 daily fine starts the day after the visa expires, with an exit permit of around AED 250 to 300 added after 30 days of overstay.

Can spouse and children extend at the same time?

Certainly. We extend the whole family at once, and residents sponsoring Cuba 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.
