Quick answer: a Dubai visa for a Burkina Faso passport costs AED 450 for 30 days single entry, AED 650 for 60 days single entry, AED 800 for 30 days multiple entry and AED 1,000 for 60 days multiple entry.

Do Burkina Faso passport holders need a Dubai visa?

Unless a passport qualifies for visa on arrival, a prearranged tourist visa is required, and that is what we provide. Some passports are stamped on arrival instead, and the list of eligible countries is updated periodically. To be certain about the current rule for Burkina Faso citizens, WhatsApp us your passport page and we will check it at no cost.

Burkina Faso passport Dubai visa fees

These are our current prices for a Dubai visa on a Burkina Faso passport, checked in September 2026:

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

Thirty days is the minimum tourist visa length, and nothing shorter exists in this category. Fees are not refundable on rejection, since the government charge is paid the moment the application is lodged.

Security deposits explained

Some passports are asked for a refundable security deposit. It is separate from the visa price above, it is refunded after the visitor exits the UAE, and we will confirm on WhatsApp whether it applies to Burkina Faso passports and how much it is.

Instalment plans for UAE residents

UAE residents applying for a family member or friend from Burkina Faso can split the visa fee 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.

What Burkina Faso citizens need to send us

Message us these items on WhatsApp and we will normally confirm your eligibility within an hour:

1. Passport scan showing the front page and the back cover, valid for at least six months. A missing back cover is the most common reason an application is returned, so please include both.
2. A white background colour photo in passport format, without eyewear.
3. Confirmed two way flight booking. We can book the flights on your behalf if needed.
4. For minors, a birth certificate. For a few nationalities, a copy of the national ID card is also required.

Bank statement requirements depend on nationality. Should Burkina Faso be one of the passports that needs one, a relative in the UAE can submit their own statement for you. UAE immigration may also ask arriving travellers to show proof of funds on entry, so carry a card or cash that demonstrates you can support your stay.

Sponsor requirements

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. A family member’s UAE bank statement can replace the visitor’s statement if one is required, though friends cannot substitute theirs.

How Burkina Faso citizens apply

1. Share your documents with us on WhatsApp at +971 52 292 1011 or +971 4 220 2133 and we confirm which visa fits your plans.
2. Settle the fee by secure link or instalments. Submission to immigration follows verification and payment.
3. The application is filed and monitored by our team. Expect 24 to 72 hours for most Burkina Faso applicants, with occasional delays or extra document requests from immigration.
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 visa must be used to enter the UAE within 60 days of the date of issue. Your permitted stay runs from the entry stamp, not from the issue date. Choose single entry for a straightforward visit, or multiple entry if you plan to hop to Oman, Saudi Arabia or Qatar and come back. Employment is not permitted on a tourist visa.

Why the expiry date matters

There is no grace period on a UAE tourist visa. A fine of AED 50 applies for every day of overstay, the same flat rate across all visa types and emirates, and it starts the day after expiry. If the overstay passes 30 days, an exit permit of around AED 250 to 300 is required on top of the fines. Our team messages Burkina Faso visitors on WhatsApp ahead of expiry so there is time to extend or leave.

Extending a Dubai visa for Burkina Faso passport holders

Extensions of 30 days are available three times on a 30 day visa and twice on a 60 day visa, with no exit needed. Total time in the UAE cannot exceed 120 days. When the extensions are used up, Burkina Faso visitors must exit and return on a fresh visa, either by a same day flight or by the Oman bus route. Apply for the extension ahead of the expiry date, ideally a week before.

Another route for Burkina Faso passports

For Burkina Faso travellers who prefer it, the Sharjah 60 day single entry visa costs AED 1,200 and carries no deposit. It is valid for the whole UAE, including Dubai and Abu Dhabi. We will advise on WhatsApp whether this suits Burkina Faso citizens better than the standard visa.

Why applications get held up

• No back cover scan. Send it together with the front page.
• Short passport validity, which leads to refusal.
• Blurred or cropped photos. Use a clear, full colour scan with all four corners visible.
• Past visa problems in the UAE. We assess these before submission so that you are not surprised by a refusal.
• One name only on the passport without a supporting document; message us first if this applies to you.
• Tight timelines. Three working days is the minimum, and peak seasons need more.

Answers for Burkina Faso citizens

When will I receive my visa?

Typically 24 to 72 hours. Immigration sets the timeline and may ask for more documents, so allow three working days or more before your flight.

Cheapest Dubai visa option?

AED 450 single or AED 800 multiple entry. Indian and Filipino rates are AED 400 and AED 750. Deposits, where applicable, are confirmed before payment.

What does the 60 day visa cost?

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

Are financial documents needed?

It depends on nationality. Some passports are asked for a six month statement, and a UAE based family member can submit theirs instead. Immigration may also ask arriving travellers for proof of funds, so carry a card or cash. Message us on WhatsApp and we will confirm the rule for Burkina Faso passports.

Can I extend a Dubai visa without leaving the UAE?

Yes. A 30 day visa can be extended three times and a 60 day visa twice, each by 30 days, up to a total stay of 120 days, without exiting. After that you must leave and re enter through an airport to airport change or by bus. Applications must be made before expiry.

Is there a grace period after the Dubai visa expires?

There is no grace period. Fines of AED 50 per day begin immediately after expiry, and an exit permit costing roughly AED 250 to 300 is needed if the overstay exceeds 30 days.

Is the visa fee refundable if my application is rejected?

Fees are not refunded on rejection, as the government charge is paid when the application is lodged. A fresh application can be made once the issue is resolved.

Is there a visa for minors?

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.

Does the tourist visa allow employment?

No. The visa is for visiting only. Taking up work requires an employment visa arranged by a UAE employer.
