Visa extension for Guinea-Bissau citizens without leaving the UAE

If you hold a Guinea-Bissau passport and your UAE visit visa is running out, a Visa extension lets you stay another 30 days without leaving the country. The fee is AED 1,200 for each 30 day extension, approval normally arrives in two to three working days, and everything is handled on WhatsApp. This page explains who qualifies, what a Guinea-Bissau passport holder pays, how many times you can extend, the deadline to apply, and what happens once you reach the 120 day limit.

In short: Guinea-Bissau passport holders pay AED 1,200 for each 30 day Visa extension, approved in two to three working days without leaving the country. Three extensions on a 30 day visa, two on a 60 day visa, 120 days maximum. Apply five to seven days before expiry through the agency that issued your visa.

The meaning of Visa extension for Guinea-Bissau passport holders

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 Guinea-Bissau passport. Nothing physical happens on your side; you continue your visit and we send the approved extension on WhatsApp.

It should not be confused with the airport to airport change or the Oman bus route, which reset you on a new visa after an exit. If a Guinea-Bissau passport holder is still eligible, the extension is cheaper and simpler than any exit route, so it is always our first suggestion.

Who from Guinea-Bissau can apply for a Visa extension?

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. Send us a copy of your current visa on WhatsApp and we will confirm within the hour whether a Guinea-Bissau passport can be extended, or whether an exit route is the better option.

• Visitors on an agency issued 30 or 60 day visit visa who have not yet reached the extension limit.
• Travellers who will remain within the 120 day ceiling after the extension is added.
• 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). Arrival stamps and residency visas are not extendable through an agency.

Guinea-Bissau passport Visa extension price

We charge AED 1,200 for every 30 day extension regardless of nationality, so Guinea-Bissau citizens pay exactly this figure.

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

This price includes the immigration fee and our handling. On rejection the fee is retained by immigration and cannot be returned. Fines for overstaying are paid directly to immigration and sit outside the extension price. Compared with the exit routes, the extension is usually the better value for a Guinea-Bissau visitor who needs 30 more days, while a new 60 day visa through airport to airport or bus makes more sense when you need the full two months and have no extensions left.

Instalment plans for UAE residents

UAE residents arranging a Visa extension for a family member or friend from Guinea-Bissau can split the AED 1,200 using Tabby with up to 12 months, Tamara with extendable terms, or a UAE credit card with 3, 6, 9 or 12 month plans depending on the issuing 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.

Visa extension requirements for Guinea-Bissau passport holders

Extensions need less paperwork than a new visa. Message us these three items on WhatsApp:

1. Your Guinea-Bissau passport data page, with six months or more validity remaining.
2. A white background colour photo in passport format, without eyewear.
3. The current visa copy, which we use to check the expiry date and remaining extensions.

Bank statements, hotel confirmations and return tickets are not part of the extension application. Should immigration want anything more for a Guinea-Bissau passport, we will contact you on WhatsApp at once.

Getting your extension in four steps

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. Settle the AED 1,200 by secure link or instalments. The application goes to immigration after payment.
3. We file with immigration and follow up. Typical turnaround for Guinea-Bissau citizens is two to three working days.
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.

When to apply and why the deadline matters

The extension must be submitted before the current visa expires; an expired visa cannot be extended. Allow five to seven days: two to three working days for processing, plus a buffer for weekends and holidays. When chaining extensions, start each one a few days early and count your total days from the original entry.

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. Anyone who overstays by more than 30 days also needs an exit permit, typically AED 250 to 300, before leaving. 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

When the extensions are exhausted and 120 days are up, leaving the country is required. 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. Either exit route resets you on a new 60 day visa, and the same agency rule does not apply to them.

Common problems for Guinea-Bissau applicants and how we prevent them

• Waiting until expiry day, which leaves no room for processing time.
• Assuming any agency can extend. Only the issuer can, because immigration routes the request through the issuing account. Check who issued your visa before you plan.
• Forgetting that extensions add to the original stay rather than replacing it.
• Short passport validity, which leads to refusal.
• Confusing residency or arrival stamps with agency visit visas, which are the only ones we can extend.

Frequently asked questions about Visa extension for Guinea-Bissau passport

Can Guinea-Bissau passport holders extend in country?

You can. Guinea-Bissau 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.

How much is a 2 month extension?

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 Guinea-Bissau.

How many days until approval?

Usually two to three working days. Because government offices close at weekends, Guinea-Bissau travellers should allow five to seven days before the visa expires.

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.

Does the same agency rule apply to Guinea-Bissau passports?

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.

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 I extend visas for my family together?

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

Can immigration decline an extension?

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.
