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 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 Senegal passports on WhatsApp so that nobody pays for a visa they do not need.

How much does a Dubai visa cost for Senegal citizens?

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

• Single entry 30 day visa: AED 450
• 60 day tourist visa, single entry: AED 650
• Multiple entry 30 day visa: AED 800
• 60 days, 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.

A note on deposits

For a limited set of countries a refundable deposit is requested. The deposit sits apart from the visa fee, is returned after you leave the UAE, and we confirm the amount for Senegal citizens on WhatsApp before booking.

Spreading the cost

If you live in the UAE and are sponsoring a relative or friend holding a Senegal passport, the fee can be paid through Tabby over up to 12 months, Tamara on extendable terms, or a UAE credit card in 3, 6, 9 or 12 monthly instalments subject to your bank. Everyone else is sent a secure payment link online.

Documents required for a Dubai visa on a Senegal passport

WhatsApp us the following and expect an eligibility answer within about an 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 white background colour photo in passport format, without eyewear.
3. A two way air ticket. If you have not booked flights yet, we can book them for you.
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 Senegal passport a UAE based family member’s statement can be submitted on your behalf. On arrival, immigration may request evidence of funds, so have a bank card or cash to hand.

If a UAE resident is sponsoring you

If a relative or friend living in the UAE is sponsoring a Senegal 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. A family member’s UAE bank statement can replace the visitor’s statement if one is required, though friends cannot substitute theirs.

How to apply for a Dubai visa from Senegal

1. Send your documents on WhatsApp to +971 52 292 1011 or +971 4 220 2133. We check them the same day and tell you which visa suits your travel dates.
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 Senegal applicants, with occasional delays or extra document requests from immigration.
4. You receive the approved visa as a PDF on WhatsApp. Print a copy or keep it on your phone and present it with your passport at check in and on arrival.

Key dates to remember

The visa must be used to enter the UAE within 60 days of the date of issue. The 30 or 60 day stay is measured from entry, not from issuance. 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. The visa is for visiting only and does not allow you to take up work.

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. Overstays beyond 30 days additionally require an exit permit of roughly AED 250 to 300. A WhatsApp reminder from us before expiry helps Senegal visitors avoid fines.

Extending a Dubai visa for Senegal passport holders

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 maximum total stay is 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. You must apply before the visa runs out; we recommend contacting us with at least seven days to spare.

Sharjah visa option

We can also issue a Sharjah 60 day single entry visa for AED 1,200, which requires no security deposit. The visa allows travel throughout the UAE, not only Sharjah. We will advise on WhatsApp whether this suits Senegal citizens better than the standard visa.

Mistakes Senegal applicants should avoid

• No back cover scan. Send it together with the front page.
• Passport validity under six months. Renew before applying.
• Blurred or cropped photos. Use a clear, full colour scan with all four corners visible.
• Undisclosed immigration history. Old fines or bans affect approval, so share them with us upfront.
• Passports bearing a single name, which require a supporting document before we can apply.
• Last minute applications. Give us a minimum of three working days, longer around Eid and the winter peak.

Can I extend a Dubai visa without leaving the UAE?

Yes. Extensions of 30 days are available three times on a 30 day visa and twice on a 60 day visa, all from inside the UAE, up to 120 days. Once exhausted, a visa change by air or bus is needed.

What happens if I overstay by a day?

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.

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?

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 work in the UAE on a Dubai visa?

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