Lesotho passport Dubai visa price and requirements

We process the Dubai visa for Lesotho citizens as a 30 day or 60 day UAE tourist visa, available in single and multiple entry, with most approvals arriving in 24 to 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 Lesotho passport holder pays, what to send, how long it takes, and how the visa can be extended once you are in the UAE.

Quick answer: a Dubai visa for a Lesotho 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.

Who needs a prearranged 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 Lesotho citizens, WhatsApp us your passport page and we will check it at no cost.

Lesotho passport Dubai visa fees

Our rate card for Lesotho passports, confirmed in September 2026, is as follows:

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

Thirty days is the minimum tourist visa length, and nothing shorter exists in this category. Should immigration refuse the application, the fee is not returned, as it covers government processing.

Refundable security deposit for some nationalities

A refundable security deposit may apply for some nationalities. It is not part of the prices listed, it comes back to you after your exit from the country, and we state clearly on WhatsApp whether a Lesotho passport is affected.

Instalment plans for UAE residents

UAE residents applying for a family member or friend from Lesotho 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 Lesotho citizens need to send us

Share these items on WhatsApp and we will confirm whether we can proceed, typically within the 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. Birth certificate for any child applicant. A national ID copy is required for some nationalities.

Depending on nationality, a six month bank statement may be requested. If that applies to Lesotho applicants, a UAE resident family member can provide theirs instead. 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

If a relative or friend living in the UAE is sponsoring a Lesotho traveller, they provide their passport copy and residence visa page, each with six months validity, Emirates ID front and back, and fill in the guarantee form at applyvisa.app. Where a bank statement is needed, a family sponsor’s statement may be used instead of the applicant’s; this does not extend to friends.

How Lesotho 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. Pay through the secure link or instalment plan we send. Processing starts only after documents are verified and payment is received.
3. We file with immigration and follow up. Typical turnaround for Lesotho citizens is 24 to 72 hours, subject to immigration’s discretion.
4. Once approved, we send the visa PDF on WhatsApp. Show it at check in and at UAE immigration together with your passport.

Key dates to remember

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. 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

Visitors do not receive any grace days after the expiry date. The overstay fine is AED 50 per day, applied uniformly across every emirate and visa category, from the first day past expiry. After 30 days of overstay, an exit permit costing about AED 250 to 300 becomes necessary as well. We remind Lesotho travellers on WhatsApp before the expiry date, giving you time to act.

Extending a Dubai visa for Lesotho 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. Combined stay is capped at 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. Apply for the extension ahead of the expiry date, ideally a week before.

Sharjah 60 day visa

For Lesotho 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. Ask us on WhatsApp which option is better for a Lesotho passport.

Mistakes Lesotho applicants should avoid

• No back cover scan. Send it together with the front page.
• Less than six months on the passport. Immigration will not approve the visa in that case.
• 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.
• Passports bearing a single name, which require a supporting document before we can apply.
• Booking flights before the visa is approved without allowing enough processing time.

Lesotho passport Dubai visa FAQ

How many days until approval?

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.

Price of a 30 day single entry visa?

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.

60 day visa fee for Lesotho citizens?

AED 650 single or AED 1,000 multiple entry, with the Indian and Filipino tariff at AED 600 and AED 950.

Are financial documents needed?

Bank statement requirements vary by nationality. Where one is needed, a family member living in the UAE can provide it. Separately, immigration can ask for proof of funds on arrival. We confirm the position for Lesotho citizens on WhatsApp.

Can the visa be extended?

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.

Is the visa fee refundable if my application is rejected?

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.

Can children from Lesotho apply for a Dubai visa?

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 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.
