What's included in the UAE visa fee?
✅ Government processing fee — paid directly to UAE GDRFA / ICA.
✅ Service charge — for our team to prepare, submit and follow up on your application.
✅ Document review — we check your passport, photo and supporting documents BEFORE submission to maximize approval.
✅ 24/7 WhatsApp support — real humans, not bots.

Are there hidden fees?
No. The price you see at checkout is the price you pay. We never charge extra for currency conversion, payment processing, or last-minute submissions.
Avoid agents who charge extra for 'urgent processing', 'embassy fees' or 'document attestation' — these are NOT required for a UAE tourist e-visa.
How to save money on your UAE visa
💡 Apply early — there's no discount for early applications, but rushing through a 24-hour express process at another agency can cost 2–3x more.
💡 Choose the right visa duration — don't pay for 60 days if you only need 14. Most travelers visit Dubai for 5–10 days.
💡 Use code WELCOME5 — first-time applicants get 5% off any visa.
💡 Apply online directly — avoid travel agents who add 30–50% markup. Our online application is direct.
