GCC Resident UAE Visa (Dubai entry)

Post new topic

Hello Everyone,

Earlier the UAE Tourism Visa for GCC Residents used to be issued in less than 2 hours, my latest took around 40 minutes.

Yet i applied 2 days ago, and it is still under progress, when i shared this info with a few of my colleagues, some are also actually facing the same issue.

Are you aware of any updates in issuance time? Mind you that we are of different nationalities, and all have been to the UAE more than 10 times, and it never took that much to get the response.

Well, I can tell you that it varies.  I have had experiences from within 15 minutes to 1 month!!!.

While both of these are exceptions on either side, generally getting it within 1 week is the norm.
