Italy 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. Fees begin at AED 450, the document list is short, and the whole application runs on WhatsApp with our team in Dubai. Read on for the full picture for Italy passports: price list, requirements, processing time, validity and extension rules.
Quick answer: a Dubai visa for a Italy 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. Processing takes 24 to 72 hours and the visa must be used to enter the UAE within 60 days of issue.
Planning your Dubai trip? Let White Sky handle it.
We book your attraction tickets, tours, hotels and flights — and you can pay later with Tabby, Tamara or UAE credit-card monthly instalments. Need a UAE tourist visa too? We do that in-house.
Who needs a prearranged Dubai visa?
Unless a passport qualifies for visa on arrival, a prearranged tourist visa is required, and that is what we provide. A shorter list of nationalities can enter with a stamp on arrival, and that list moves occasionally. Message us a photo of your Italy passport on WhatsApp and we will confirm which rule applies before any payment is taken.
How much does a Dubai visa cost for Italy citizens?
Our rate card for Italy passports, confirmed in September 2026, is as follows:
- 30 day tourist visa, single entry: AED 450
- 60 day single entry: AED 650
- 30 day tourist visa, multiple entry: AED 800
- 60 days, 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.
Refundable security deposit for some nationalities
Some passports are asked for a refundable security deposit. This is independent of the visa cost, refunded once you depart the UAE, and we tell Italy applicants in advance whether one applies.
Pay in monthly instalments
For UAE residents applying on behalf of Italy family or friends, payment can be spread with Tabby up to 12 months, Tamara on extendable terms, or a UAE credit card over 3, 6, 9 or 12 months according to the bank. Everyone else is sent a secure payment link online.

Documents required for a Dubai visa on a Italy passport
Send these on WhatsApp and we can usually confirm eligibility within the hour:
- A clear scan of your Italy passport, both the data page and the back cover, with at least six months validity. Missing back covers cause most resubmissions.
- A white background colour photo in passport format, without eyewear.
- Confirmed two way flight booking. We can book the flights on your behalf if needed.
- For minors, a birth certificate. For a few nationalities, a copy of the national ID card is also required.
Depending on nationality, a six month bank statement may be requested. If that applies to Italy applicants, a UAE resident family member can provide theirs instead. Bear in mind that immigration officers sometimes ask arriving passengers to show they can fund their stay, so keep a card or cash accessible.
Sponsor requirements
When a UAE resident applies on behalf of a Italy visitor, we also need the sponsor’s passport copy valid for six months, residence visa page valid for six months, Emirates ID front and back, and the guarantee form completed 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.
The application process step by step
- 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.
- Make the payment through the link we send. The application goes to immigration as soon as payment clears and documents are approved.
- The application is filed and monitored by our team. Expect 24 to 72 hours for most Italy applicants, with occasional delays or extra document requests from immigration.
- The approved visa arrives as a PDF on WhatsApp. Carry a printed or digital copy for the airline and for immigration on arrival.
Validity and duration of stay
You have 60 days from the issue date to enter the UAE. 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.
No grace period and the AED 50 daily fine
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. After 30 days of overstay, an exit permit costing about AED 250 to 300 becomes necessary as well. We send Italy clients a reminder on WhatsApp before the visa expires so that you can extend or exit in time.

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. Total time in the UAE cannot exceed 120 days. Once you reach the maximum, you must exit and re enter, either through an airport to airport visa change or by bus to Oman. Extension applications must be submitted before the current visa expires, so contact us with at least a week remaining.
Another route for Italy passports
We can also issue a Sharjah 60 day single entry visa for AED 1,200, which requires no security deposit. It is valid for the whole UAE, including Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Message us and we will compare both routes for your Italy passport.
How to keep your application on track
- Leaving out the back cover, which immigration requires alongside the data page.
- Short passport validity, which leads to refusal.
- Poor quality scans. Make sure the whole page is visible and readable.
- Earlier violations or uncancelled visas. Be open with us so we can check the record first.
- Single name passports. If your Italy passport shows only one name and no supporting document shows a full name, the visa cannot be processed, so contact us before paying.
- Tight timelines. Three working days is the minimum, and peak seasons need more.

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.
Is working permitted?
