The UAE has introduced new visit visa fees for Pakistani nationals, effective immediately, to streamline entry procedures for tourists and visitors.
Starting June 2024, the cost of a 30-day tourist visa will be AED 200, while a 60-day visa will be priced at AED 300, both subject to an additional 5% value-added tax (VAT).
Here’s the exciting breakdown:
- 30-day Tourist Visa: Starting at just AED 200 (around PKR 8,000)
- 60-day Tourist Visa: Starting at AED 300 (around PKR 12,000)
Don’t forget the extras! There’s a small additional charge of 5% VAT (Value Added Tax) on top of the visa fees.
