Cape Verde passport and UAE entry rules

Most nationalities need a prearranged visa before flying to the UAE, and that is what we issue. A limited number of passports receive a visa on arrival at UAE airports, and the list changes from time to time. We confirm the current position for Cape Verde passports on WhatsApp so that nobody pays for a visa they do not need.

Cape Verde passport Dubai visa fees

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

• 30 day tourist visa, 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

The 30 day visa is the shortest tourist option the UAE offers. The visa fee is paid to immigration at submission and cannot be refunded if the application is declined.

Does a Cape Verde passport need a deposit?

A refundable security deposit may apply for some nationalities. The deposit sits apart from the visa fee, is returned after you leave the UAE, and we confirm the amount for Cape Verde citizens on WhatsApp before booking.

Payment options

UAE residents applying for a family member or friend from Cape Verde 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. Other travellers pay by a secure online payment link that we send on WhatsApp.

Paperwork for a Dubai visa

Share these items on WhatsApp and we will confirm whether we can proceed, typically 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 recent colour photograph, white background, passport dimensions, no glasses.
3. A return or two way flight ticket; if you do not have one, we can arrange the flights.
4. A birth certificate for children under 18. Some nationalities must also provide a national ID copy.

Some nationalities may be asked for a six month bank statement, and where that applies to a Cape Verde passport a UAE based family member’s statement can be submitted on your behalf. Bear in mind that immigration officers sometimes ask arriving passengers to show they can fund their stay, so keep a card or cash accessible.

Guarantor documents

For sponsored applications the UAE resident supplies a passport copy and residence visa page valid for six months, both sides of their Emirates ID, and the online 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 Cape Verde citizens apply

1. Message +971 52 292 1011 or +971 4 220 2133 on WhatsApp with your documents. We verify everything and advise on the best option for your dates.
2. Pay through the secure link or instalment plan we send. Processing starts only after documents are verified and payment is received.
3. We submit the application to immigration and keep you updated. Most Cape Verde applications are approved in 24 to 72 hours, though immigration may occasionally take longer or request additional documents.
4. Once approved, we send the visa PDF on WhatsApp. Show it at check in and at UAE immigration together with your passport.

Validity and duration of stay

The permit is valid for entry for 60 days from issue. The stay period, 30 or 60 days, starts counting from your arrival date. 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.

Why the expiry date matters

UAE visit and tourist visas have no grace period after expiry. Every day beyond expiry costs AED 50, whichever emirate issued the visa, starting immediately. Overstays beyond 30 days additionally require an exit permit of roughly AED 250 to 300. We remind Cape Verde travellers on WhatsApp before the expiry date, giving you time to act.

Visa extension without leaving the UAE

A 30 day visa can be extended three times for 30 days each, and a 60 day visa twice for 30 days each, with no exit required. The overall ceiling is 120 days of stay. 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. Extension applications must be submitted before the current visa expires, so contact us with at least a week remaining.

Sharjah 60 day visa

A Sharjah issued 60 day single entry visa is available at AED 1,200 with no security deposit. It is valid for the whole UAE, including Dubai and Abu Dhabi. We will advise on WhatsApp whether this suits Cape Verde citizens better than the standard visa.

Common reasons a Dubai visa is delayed or refused

• Missing passport back cover. Include it with your first message to avoid resubmission.
• Less than six months on the passport. Immigration will not approve the visa in that case.
• Low resolution photos of documents, which immigration may reject.
• 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.
• Booking flights before the visa is approved without allowing enough processing time.

Answers for Cape Verde citizens

How many days until approval?

Expect 24 to 72 hours for a Cape Verde passport. Immigration controls the timing and occasionally requests extra paperwork.

How much is a 30 day Dubai visa for Cape Verde citizens?

The 30 day visa is AED 450 single entry or AED 800 multiple entry, with Indian and Filipino passports at AED 400 and AED 750. Some nationalities may also need a refundable deposit.

Price of a two month visa?

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

Is a bank statement required for a Cape Verde passport?

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 Cape Verde passports.

What if I want to stay longer?

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?

No. UAE visit and tourist visas have no grace period. A fine of AED 50 per day applies from the day after expiry, and overstays beyond 30 days also require an exit permit of about AED 250 to 300.

What if immigration refuses my Dubai visa?

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?

Certainly. Every child is issued a separate visa at the same rate, and a birth certificate is required in addition to the passport and photo.

Can I look for a job on this visa?

Employment is not allowed on a tourist visa. Job seekers can meet employers, but a work permit and residence visa are required before starting work.
