Dubai visa for Tonga citizens: price, documents and process

Travellers from Tonga 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. 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 Tonga 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 Tonga 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.

Tonga passport and UAE entry rules

Most nationalities need a prearranged visa before flying to the UAE, and that is what we issue. 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 Tonga citizens, WhatsApp us your passport page and we will check it at no cost.

What a Dubai visa costs from Dubai

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

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

The shortest UAE tourist visa is 30 days; there is no shorter tourist visa. The visa fee is paid to immigration at submission and cannot be refunded if the application is declined.

Refundable security deposit for some nationalities

Certain nationalities may need to place a refundable security deposit. The deposit sits apart from the visa fee, is returned after you leave the UAE, and we confirm the amount for Tonga citizens on WhatsApp before booking.

Pay in monthly instalments

UAE residents applying for a family member or friend from Tonga 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. Applicants who are not UAE residents pay through a secure online link.

Documents required for a Dubai visa on a Tonga passport

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 colour passport size photo on a white background, without glasses.
3. A two way air ticket. If you have not booked flights yet, we can book them for you.
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 Tonga passport a UAE based family member’s statement can be submitted on your behalf. 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

When a UAE resident applies on behalf of a Tonga 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 Tonga

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 file with immigration and follow up. Typical turnaround for Tonga citizens is 24 to 72 hours, subject to immigration’s discretion.
4. The approved visa arrives as a PDF on WhatsApp. Carry a printed or digital copy for the airline and for immigration 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. With single entry you may arrive once; multiple entry permits several arrivals within the validity, ideal for regional itineraries that pass through Oman, Saudi Arabia or Qatar. Employment is not permitted on a tourist visa.

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. We send Tonga clients a reminder on WhatsApp before the visa expires so that you can extend or exit in time.

Can Tonga citizens extend the visa?

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

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. We can tell you on WhatsApp which of the two is the better fit for Tonga applicants.

Common reasons a Dubai visa is delayed or refused

• Back cover not sent. It is the most common omission, so attach it from the start.
• A passport expiring within six months of travel.
• Blurred or cropped photos. Use a clear, full colour scan with all four corners visible.
• 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.
• Booking flights before the visa is approved without allowing enough processing time.

Answers for Tonga citizens

When will I receive my visa?

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.

How much is a 30 day Dubai visa for Tonga citizens?

AED 450 for single entry and AED 800 for multiple entry. Indian and Filipino passports pay AED 400 and AED 750. A refundable deposit may apply for some nationalities and is confirmed on WhatsApp.

What does the 60 day visa cost?

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

Will immigration ask for proof of funds?

Some nationalities need a six month statement, others do not. A UAE family member’s statement can be used where required. Immigration may still ask for proof of funds at the airport. Ask us on WhatsApp about Tonga passports.

Is in country extension possible?

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.

What if immigration refuses my Dubai visa?

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 Tonga passports?

Yes. Children require an individual visa at the standard price. We need the passport, photo and birth certificate for each minor.

Does the tourist visa allow employment?

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