Dubai visa for Albania citizens: price, documents and process

Albania passport holders can apply for a Dubai visa through White Sky Travel and receive a 30 or 60 day tourist visa, single or multiple entry, typically within one to three working days. The 30 day visa starts at AED 450, four documents are enough for most applicants, and we handle every step on WhatsApp. This page explains what a Albania passport holder pays, what to send, how long it takes, and how the visa can be extended once you are in the UAE.

The essentials for Albania citizens: 30 day single entry AED 450, 60 day single entry AED 650, 30 day multiple entry AED 800, 60 day multiple entry AED 1,000. Expect a 24 to 72 hour turnaround and a 60 day window to enter after issue.

Do Albania passport holders need a Dubai visa?

A prearranged visa is the standard route for most travellers, and it is the product we issue for Albania passports. Certain passports qualify for visa on arrival, and eligibility rules shift from year to year. To be certain about the current rule for Albania citizens, WhatsApp us your passport page and we will check it at no cost.

Dubai visa price for Albania passport holders

Here is the September 2026 price list for Albania passport holders:

• Single entry 30 day visa: AED 450
• Single entry 60 day visa: AED 650
• 30 day multiple entry: AED 800
• 60 days, multiple entry: AED 1,000

No tourist visa shorter than 30 days is available. Should immigration refuse the application, the fee is not returned, as it covers government processing.

Security deposits explained

A refundable security deposit may apply for some nationalities. This is independent of the visa cost, refunded once you depart the UAE, and we tell Albania applicants in advance whether one applies.

Payment options

Residents of the UAE booking for Albania 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. All other applicants receive a secure online payment link.

Documents required for a Dubai visa on a Albania passport

Send these on WhatsApp and we can usually confirm eligibility within the hour:

1. Front page and back cover of the passport, six months validity minimum. Applications are most frequently sent back because the back cover was left out.
2. A colour passport size photo on a white background, without glasses.
3. A round trip ticket, which we can also book for you if it is not yet arranged.
4. Birth certificate for any child applicant. A national ID copy is required for some nationalities.

Bank statement requirements depend on nationality. Should Albania be one of the passports that needs one, a relative in the UAE can submit their own statement for you. Please also carry a card or some cash, since immigration can ask arriving visitors to show proof of funds.

Guarantor documents

Sponsors based in the UAE send their passport and residence visa copies with six months validity, front and back of the Emirates ID, and complete the guarantee form at applyvisa.app. If a statement is requested, a UAE family member may supply it on the applicant’s behalf, but a friend’s statement is not accepted.

How Albania citizens apply

1. WhatsApp your documents to +971 52 292 1011 or +971 4 220 2133. We review them within hours and recommend the right visa for your trip.
2. Make the payment through the link we send. The application goes to immigration as soon as payment clears and documents are approved.
3. We file with immigration and follow up. Typical turnaround for Albania citizens is 24 to 72 hours, subject to immigration’s discretion.
4. The approved visa arrives as a PDF on WhatsApp. Carry a printed or digital copy for the airline and for immigration on arrival.

How long the Dubai visa is valid

The permit is valid for entry for 60 days from issue. Your 30 or 60 days of stay begin on the day you enter, not on the day the visa is issued. Single entry means one arrival only, while multiple entry allows repeated exits and returns during the validity period, useful for side trips to Oman, Saudi Arabia or Qatar. Working on a tourist visa is not allowed.

No grace period and the AED 50 daily fine

There is no grace period on a UAE tourist visa. Every day beyond expiry costs AED 50, whichever emirate issued the visa, starting immediately. After 30 days of overstay, an exit permit costing about AED 250 to 300 becomes necessary as well. Our team messages Albania visitors on WhatsApp ahead of expiry so there is time to extend or leave.

Visa extension without leaving the UAE

Extensions of 30 days are available three times on a 30 day visa and twice on a 60 day visa, with no exit needed. Combined stay is capped at 120 days. After the limit, the only way to stay on is to leave and come back on a new visa, by air through an airport to airport change or by bus via Oman. Extensions are only accepted before expiry, so message us while you still have a week or more left.

Sharjah visa option

For Albania travellers who prefer it, the Sharjah 60 day single entry visa costs AED 1,200 and carries no deposit. It works for the entire country, including Dubai. We can tell you on WhatsApp which of the two is the better fit for Albania applicants.

Why applications get held up

• Missing passport back cover. Include it with your first message to avoid resubmission.
• A passport expiring within six months of travel.
• Blurred or cropped photos. Use a clear, full colour scan with all four corners visible.
• Earlier violations or uncancelled visas. Be open with us so we can check the record first.
• One name only on the passport without a supporting document; message us first if this applies to you.
• Booking flights before the visa is approved without allowing enough processing time.

Questions Albania travellers ask us

How many days until approval?

Usually one to three working days. The decision rests with immigration, and delays are possible, so do not book non changeable flights until the visa is issued.

Cheapest Dubai visa option?

For most passports AED 450 single entry and AED 800 multiple entry; Indian and Filipino citizens pay AED 400 and AED 750. We confirm any deposit requirement on WhatsApp.

What does the 60 day visa cost?

For Albania passports AED 650 single entry and AED 1,000 multiple entry; Indian and Filipino citizens pay AED 600 and AED 950.

Do I need to show a bank statement?

Some nationalities need a six month statement, others do not. A UAE family member’s statement can be used where required. Immigration may still ask for proof of funds at the airport. Ask us on WhatsApp about Albania passports.

What if I want to stay longer?

It can be extended in country: three times for a 30 day visa, twice for a 60 day visa, 30 days each, with a 120 day ceiling. After that, exit and re enter on a new visa.

Are there any grace days?

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.

Is the visa fee refundable if my application is rejected?

No refund applies on refusal, since immigration retains the processing charge. You can apply again once the problem is addressed.

What about children on Albania passports?

Yes. Each child needs their own visa and pays the same fee as an adult. Send the child’s passport, photo and birth certificate on WhatsApp along with the parents’ documents.

Can I work in the UAE on a Dubai visa?

No. A tourist visa does not permit employment. You may attend interviews and visit, but working requires a residence visa sponsored by an employer.
