Dubai visa for Seychelles passport

Travellers from Seychelles 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. Prices start at AED 450, you need only four documents, and everything happens over WhatsApp from our office in Dubai Investment Park. Below you will find the price for Seychelles citizens, the documents we ask for, processing times, validity rules and extension options.

Quick answer: a Dubai visa for a Seychelles 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.

Is a Dubai visa required for Seychelles citizens?

Unless a passport qualifies for visa on arrival, a prearranged tourist visa is required, and that is what we provide. Certain passports qualify for visa on arrival, and eligibility rules shift from year to year. If you are unsure whether a Seychelles passport falls under visa on arrival or needs a prearranged Dubai visa, send us a photo of the passport on WhatsApp and we will confirm before you pay anything.

Dubai visa price for Seychelles passport holders

Current Dubai visa pricing for Seychelles citizens, verified September 2026:

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

Thirty days is the minimum tourist visa length, and nothing shorter exists in this category. The visa fee is paid to immigration at submission and cannot be refunded if the application is declined.

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 Seychelles applicants in advance whether one applies.

Pay in monthly instalments

Residents of the UAE booking for Seychelles visitors can use Tabby for up to 12 months, Tamara with extendable repayment, or a UAE credit card with 3, 6, 9 or 12 month terms set by the card issuer. Applicants who are not UAE residents pay through a secure online link.

What Seychelles citizens need to send us

Share these items on WhatsApp and we will confirm whether we can proceed, typically 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 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. A birth certificate for children under 18. Some nationalities must also provide a national ID copy.

A bank statement covering six months is required for certain passports. Where Seychelles citizens are affected, the statement of a family member living in the UAE is accepted. Please also carry a card or some cash, since immigration can ask arriving visitors to show proof of funds.

Sponsor requirements

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.

Getting your Dubai visa in four steps

1. Share your documents with us on WhatsApp at +971 52 292 1011 or +971 4 220 2133 and we confirm which visa fits your plans.
2. Make the payment through the link we send. The application goes to immigration as soon as payment clears and documents are approved.
3. We submit the application to immigration and keep you updated. Most Seychelles applications are approved in 24 to 72 hours, though immigration may occasionally take longer or request additional documents.
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.

Validity and duration of stay

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

No grace period and the AED 50 daily fine

Once a visit visa expires, no extra days are granted. 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. Our team messages Seychelles visitors on WhatsApp ahead of expiry so there is time to extend or leave.

Can Seychelles citizens extend the visa?

The 30 day visa allows three extensions of 30 days and the 60 day visa allows two, without leaving the country. The overall ceiling is 120 days of stay. Once you reach the maximum, you must exit and re enter, either through an airport to airport visa change or by bus to Oman. Extensions are only accepted before expiry, so message us while you still have a week or more left.

An alternative issued through Sharjah

A Sharjah issued 60 day single entry visa is available at AED 1,200 with no security deposit. It works for the entire country, including Dubai. We will advise on WhatsApp whether this suits Seychelles citizens better than the standard visa.

Common reasons a Dubai visa is delayed or refused

• No back cover scan. Send it together with the front page.
• Passport validity under six months. Renew before applying.
• Unclear document images. A clean, well lit scan avoids delays.
• 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.
• Booking flights before the visa is approved without allowing enough processing time.

Answers for Seychelles citizens

How long does a Dubai visa take for a Seychelles passport?

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

Price of a 30 day single entry visa?

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.

60 day visa fee for Seychelles citizens?

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

Is a bank statement required for a Seychelles passport?

Only for certain nationalities. A UAE resident family member’s statement is accepted in those cases. Regardless, carry a card or cash on arrival in case immigration asks for proof of funds. WhatsApp us to check the rule for Seychelles.

Can the visa be extended?

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.

When do fines start?

There is no grace period. Fines of AED 50 per day begin immediately after expiry, and an exit permit costing roughly AED 250 to 300 is needed if the overstay exceeds 30 days.

Is the visa fee refundable if my application is rejected?

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.

What about children on Seychelles passports?

Yes. Minors receive their own visa at the adult price, and we ask for a birth certificate with the usual documents.

Is working permitted?

No. A tourist visa does not permit employment. You may attend interviews and visit, but working requires a residence visa sponsored by an employer.
