Dubai visa for Gabon citizens: price, documents and process

Travellers from Gabon who need a Dubai visa can get a 30 or 60 day UAE tourist visa from us in single or multiple entry, and the approval normally takes between 24 and 72 hours. Fees begin at AED 450, the document list is short, and the whole application runs on WhatsApp with our team in Dubai. This page explains what a Gabon passport holder pays, what to send, how long it takes, and how the visa can be extended once you are in the UAE.

Short version: four visa options for Gabon passports, from AED 450 for 30 days single entry to AED 1,000 for 60 days multiple entry, approved in 24 to 72 hours and valid for entry within 60 days of issue.

Do Gabon passport holders need a Dubai visa?

The majority of passports require a visa arranged in advance, which is the service described on this page. A shorter list of nationalities can enter with a stamp on arrival, and that list moves occasionally. To be certain about the current rule for Gabon citizens, WhatsApp us your passport page and we will check it at no cost.

Gabon passport Dubai visa fees

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

• Single entry 30 day visa: AED 450
• Single entry 60 day visa: AED 650
• Multiple entry 30 day visa: AED 800
• Multiple entry 60 day visa: 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.

Refundable security deposit for some nationalities

Some passports are asked for a refundable security deposit. The deposit sits apart from the visa fee, is returned after you leave the UAE, and we confirm the amount for Gabon citizens on WhatsApp before booking.

Payment options

UAE residents applying for a family member or friend from Gabon 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.

Paperwork for a Dubai visa

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

1. Your passport data page plus a photo of the back cover, with six months or more validity. We ask for both because the back cover is the item most often forgotten.
2. A recent colour photograph, white background, passport dimensions, no glasses.
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.

Some nationalities may be asked for a six month bank statement, and where that applies to a Gabon passport a UAE based family member’s statement can be submitted on your behalf. Please also carry a card or some cash, since immigration can ask arriving visitors to show proof of funds.

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. The sponsor’s bank statement can stand in for the applicant’s where one is required, but this applies to family members only, not friends.

Getting your Dubai visa in four steps

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. Make the payment through the link we send. The application goes to immigration as soon as payment clears and documents are approved.
3. The application is filed and monitored by our team. Expect 24 to 72 hours for most Gabon 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.

Key dates to remember

Entry must take place within 60 days of issue, or the visa lapses. Your permitted stay runs from the entry stamp, not from the issue date. A single entry visa allows one arrival; a multiple entry visa lets you leave and re enter as often as you like within the validity, which suits travellers combining the UAE with Oman, Saudi Arabia or Qatar. Employment is not permitted on a tourist visa.

What happens if you overstay

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. Anyone who overstays by more than 30 days also needs an exit permit, typically AED 250 to 300, before leaving. We remind Gabon travellers on WhatsApp before the expiry date, giving you time to act.

Can Gabon citizens extend the visa?

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. 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 60 day visa

For Gabon travellers who prefer it, the Sharjah 60 day single entry visa costs AED 1,200 and carries no deposit. Holders may move freely across all seven emirates. We will advise on WhatsApp whether this suits Gabon 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.
• A passport expiring within six months of travel.
• Low resolution photos of documents, which immigration may reject.
• Earlier violations or uncancelled visas. Be open with us so we can check the record first.
• Passports bearing a single name, which require a supporting document before we can apply.
• Applying too close to the travel date. Allow at least three working days, more during Eid and December.

Gabon passport Dubai visa FAQ

What is the processing time?

Most applications are approved within 24 to 72 hours. Processing time is decided by immigration and can be longer if additional documents are requested, so apply at least three working days before travel.

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

Will immigration ask for proof of funds?

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 Gabon passports.

Can the visa be extended?

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.

What happens if I overstay by a day?

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.

Refund policy on rejection?

No. Visa fees, including the service fee, are not refundable if immigration rejects the application, because the government charge is paid at submission. You may reapply after addressing the reason for refusal.

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 work in the UAE on a Dubai 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.
