Do South Korea passport holders need a Dubai visa?
Most nationalities need a prearranged visa before flying to the UAE, and that is what we issue. Some passports are stamped on arrival instead, and the list of eligible countries is updated periodically. To be certain about the current rule for South Korea citizens, WhatsApp us your passport page and we will check it at no cost.
South Korea passport Dubai visa fees
Current Dubai visa pricing for South Korea citizens, verified September 2026:
- Single entry 30 day visa: AED 450
- Single entry 60 day visa: AED 650
- 30 days, multiple entry: AED 800
- Multiple entry 60 day visa: AED 1,000
The 30 day visa is the shortest tourist option the UAE offers. Fees are not refundable on rejection, since the government charge is paid the moment the application is lodged.
A note on deposits
Certain nationalities may need to place a refundable security deposit. 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 South Korea passport is affected.
Pay in monthly instalments
UAE residents applying for a family member or friend from South Korea 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. All other applicants receive a secure online payment link.
What South Korea citizens need to send us
WhatsApp us the following and expect an eligibility answer within about an hour:
- A clear scan of your South Korea passport, both the data page and the back cover, with at least six months validity. Missing back covers cause most resubmissions.
- One colour passport photo on a plain white background.
- A return or two way flight ticket; if you do not have one, we can arrange the flights.
- A birth certificate for children under 18. Some nationalities must also provide a national ID copy.
Depending on nationality, a six month bank statement may be requested. If that applies to South Korea applicants, a UAE resident family member can provide theirs instead. Please also carry a card or some cash, since immigration can ask arriving visitors to show proof of funds.
Sponsor requirements
When a UAE resident applies on behalf of a South Korea 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. If a statement is requested, a UAE family member may supply it on the applicant’s behalf, but a friend’s statement is not accepted.
How to apply for a Dubai visa from South Korea
- 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.
- Settle the fee by secure link or instalments. Submission to immigration follows verification and payment.
- We submit the application to immigration and keep you updated. Most South Korea applications are approved in 24 to 72 hours, though immigration may occasionally take longer or request additional documents.
- 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
The visa must be used to enter the UAE within 60 days of the date of issue. Your permitted stay runs from the entry stamp, not from the issue 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.
Why the expiry date matters
There is no grace period on a UAE tourist visa. Every day beyond expiry costs AED 50, whichever emirate issued the visa, starting immediately. Anyone who overstays by more than 30 days also needs an exit permit, typically AED 250 to 300, before leaving. Our team messages South Korea visitors on WhatsApp ahead of expiry so there is time to extend or leave.
Extending a Dubai visa for South Korea 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 overall ceiling is 120 days of stay. 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. Extension applications must be submitted before the current visa expires, so contact us with at least a week remaining.
Sharjah 60 day visa
A Sharjah issued 60 day single entry visa is available at AED 1,200 with no security deposit. Holders may move freely across all seven emirates. Ask us on WhatsApp which option is better for a South Korea passport.
How to keep your application on track
- Back cover not sent. It is the most common omission, so attach it from the start.
- A passport expiring within six months of travel.
- Low resolution photos of documents, which immigration may reject.
- Previous overstays, unpaid fines or improperly cancelled visas. Tell us about any past UAE history so we can advise honestly before you pay.
- A passport with a single name and no document showing a full name, which immigration cannot process.
- Tight timelines. Three working days is the minimum, and peak seasons need more.
Questions South Korea travellers ask us
What is the processing time?
Usually one to three working days. The decision rests with immigration, and delays are possible, so do not book non changeable flights until the visa is issued.
What does the 30 day visa cost?
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.
60 day visa fee for South Korea citizens?
For South Korea passports AED 650 single entry and AED 1,000 multiple entry; Indian and Filipino citizens pay AED 600 and AED 950.
Do I need to show a bank statement?
It depends on nationality. Some passports are asked for a six month statement, and a UAE based family member can submit theirs instead. Immigration may also ask arriving travellers for proof of funds, so carry a card or cash. Message us on WhatsApp and we will confirm the rule for South Korea passports.
Can I extend a Dubai visa without leaving the UAE?
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.
Are there any grace days?
No grace days exist. Overstaying costs AED 50 per day from day one, plus an exit permit of approximately AED 250 to 300 once the overstay passes 30 days.
Can I get my money back on refusal?
The fee is not returned if the visa is refused; it covers government processing. Reapplying is possible after the cause of rejection is fixed.
Can children from South Korea apply for a Dubai visa?
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 look for a job on this visa?
No. A tourist visa does not permit employment. You may attend interviews and visit, but working requires a residence visa sponsored by an employer.
