Vanuatu passport Dubai visa price and requirements

We process the Dubai visa for Vanuatu citizens as a 30 day or 60 day UAE tourist visa, available in single and multiple entry, with most approvals arriving in 24 to 72 hours. The 30 day visa starts at AED 450, four documents are enough for most applicants, and we handle every step on WhatsApp. Below you will find the price for Vanuatu citizens, the documents we ask for, processing times, validity rules and extension options.

Short version: four visa options for Vanuatu passports, from AED 450 for 30 days single entry to AED 1,000 for 60 days multiple entry, approved in 24 to 72 hours and valid for entry within 60 days of issue.

Do Vanuatu passport holders need a Dubai visa?

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. Message us a photo of your Vanuatu passport on WhatsApp and we will confirm which rule applies before any payment is taken.

Dubai visa price for Vanuatu passport holders

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

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

Thirty days is the minimum tourist visa length, and nothing shorter exists in this category. All visa fees, including our service fee, are not refundable if immigration rejects the application, because the government charge is paid at submission.

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 Vanuatu passport is affected.

Spreading the cost

If you live in the UAE and are sponsoring a relative or friend holding a Vanuatu 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. Other travellers pay by a secure online payment link that we send on WhatsApp.

Dubai visa requirements for Vanuatu passport holders

Share these items on WhatsApp and we will confirm whether we can proceed, typically within the 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 colour passport size photo on a white background, without glasses.
3. A return or two way flight ticket; if you do not have one, we can arrange the flights.
4. If the applicant is a minor, a birth certificate. Certain passports additionally need a national ID card copy.

A bank statement covering six months is required for certain passports. Where Vanuatu 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.

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.

How Vanuatu citizens apply

1. 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.
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 Vanuatu applicants, with occasional delays or extra document requests from immigration.
4. The approved visa arrives as a PDF on WhatsApp. Carry a printed or digital copy for the airline and for immigration on arrival.

Validity, entry and stay rules for Vanuatu visitors

You have 60 days from the issue date to enter the UAE. Your permitted stay runs from the entry stamp, not from the issue date. 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. A tourist visa does not permit employment in the UAE.

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. Anyone who overstays by more than 30 days also needs an exit permit, typically AED 250 to 300, before leaving. Our team messages Vanuatu visitors on WhatsApp ahead of expiry so there is time to extend or leave.

Staying longer than 30 or 60 days

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. When the extensions are used up, Vanuatu visitors must exit and return on a fresh visa, either by a same day flight or by the Oman bus route. Apply for the extension ahead of the expiry date, ideally a week before.

An alternative issued through Sharjah

An alternative is the 60 day single entry visa issued through Sharjah, priced at AED 1,200 without any deposit. Holders may move freely across all seven emirates. We can tell you on WhatsApp which of the two is the better fit for Vanuatu applicants.

Mistakes Vanuatu applicants should avoid

• Back cover not sent. It is the most common omission, so attach it from the start.
• Short passport validity, which leads to refusal.
• Low resolution photos of documents, which immigration may reject.
• Past visa problems in the UAE. We assess these before submission so that you are not surprised by a refusal.
• A passport with a single name and no document showing a full name, which immigration cannot process.
• Applying too close to the travel date. Allow at least three working days, more during Eid and December.

Questions Vanuatu travellers ask us

What is the processing time?

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

What does the 30 day visa cost?

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?

For Vanuatu passports AED 650 single entry and AED 1,000 multiple entry; Indian and Filipino citizens pay AED 600 and AED 950.

Will immigration ask for proof of funds?

Bank statement requirements vary by nationality. Where one is needed, a family member living in the UAE can provide it. Separately, immigration can ask for proof of funds on arrival. We confirm the position for Vanuatu citizens on WhatsApp.

Can I extend a Dubai visa without leaving the UAE?

It can be extended in country: three times for a 30 day visa, twice for a 60 day visa, 30 days each, with a 120 day ceiling. After that, exit and re enter on a new visa.

What happens if I overstay by a day?

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?

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

Can I look for a job on this visa?

Employment is not allowed on a tourist visa. Job seekers can meet employers, but a work permit and residence visa are required before starting work.
