Is a Dubai visa required for South Sudan citizens?

The majority of passports require a visa arranged in advance, which is the service described on this page. Certain passports qualify for visa on arrival, and eligibility rules shift from year to year. We confirm the current position for South Sudan passports on WhatsApp so that nobody pays for a visa they do not need.

How much does a Dubai visa cost for South Sudan citizens?

Here is the September 2026 price list for South Sudan passport holders:

• 30 days, single entry: AED 450
• 60 day single entry: AED 650
• Multiple entry 30 day visa: 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. Fees are not refundable on rejection, since the government charge is paid the moment the application is lodged.

Refundable security deposit for some nationalities

A refundable security deposit may apply for some nationalities. It is separate from the visa price above, it is refunded after the visitor exits the UAE, and we will confirm on WhatsApp whether it applies to South Sudan passports and how much it is.

Payment options

Residents of the UAE booking for South Sudan 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.

Documents required for a Dubai visa on a South Sudan passport

Send these on WhatsApp and we can usually confirm eligibility within the hour:

1. A clear scan of your South Sudan passport, both the data page and the back cover, with at least six months validity. Missing back covers cause most resubmissions.
2. One colour passport photo on a plain white background.
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.

Some nationalities may be asked for a six month bank statement, and where that applies to a South Sudan passport a UAE based family member’s statement can be submitted on your behalf. Please also carry a card or some cash, since immigration can ask arriving visitors to show proof of funds.

Applying through a family member or friend in the UAE

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. 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.

The application process step by step

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. We file with immigration and follow up. Typical turnaround for South Sudan citizens is 24 to 72 hours, subject to immigration’s discretion.
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.

How long the Dubai visa is valid

Entry must take place within 60 days of issue, or the visa lapses. Your 30 or 60 days of stay begin on the day you enter, not on the day the visa is issued. 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.

What happens if you overstay

Visitors do not receive any grace days after the expiry date. Every day beyond expiry costs AED 50, whichever emirate issued the visa, starting immediately. Overstays beyond 30 days additionally require an exit permit of roughly AED 250 to 300. We send South Sudan clients a reminder on WhatsApp before the visa expires so that you can extend or exit in time.

Extending a Dubai visa for South Sudan passport holders

Thirty day visas may be extended three times by 30 days, and 60 day visas twice by 30 days, all from inside the UAE. Combined stay is capped at 120 days. At the 120 day point, a new visa requires an exit, which can be done by an airport to airport change or the bus to Oman. You must apply before the visa runs out; we recommend contacting us with at least seven days to spare.

Another route for South Sudan passports

We can also issue a Sharjah 60 day single entry visa for AED 1,200, which requires no security deposit. It works for the entire country, including Dubai. Message us and we will compare both routes for your South Sudan passport.

Common reasons a Dubai visa is delayed or refused

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
