96-Hour Transit Visa
Four days — a proper mini-holiday between flights.
About this visa
The 96-hour transit visa stretches your stopover into a real mini-holiday: up to four days in the UAE between your flights. Enough for the desert safari, the Burj Khalifa, a beach day, and a dhow cruise — then back to the airport.
Like the 48-hour version, it's issued on the basis of a confirmed onward journey. We verify your flights during the pre-check and handle the whole application over WhatsApp.
Ideal for
- Stopovers of 2–4 days
- A desert safari between flights
- Testing Dubai before a longer trip
- Breaking long-haul travel into two legs
Documents you'll need
- Passport valid for at least 6 months beyond travel
- Recent passport-style photo
- Confirmed onward flight booking
- Hotel reservation (recommended)
Send everything as photos or scans over WhatsApp — we check each item before it's used.

Common questions
For the highlights, yes — most first-timers cover the Burj Khalifa, the Marina, old Dubai and a desert safari in three to four days. Tell us your interests and we'll suggest an order.
It's recommended and sometimes required — having one also makes immigration smoother. We can advise on what works.
It depends on your layover length and how much you want to see. If your stopover is under two days, the 48-hour version fits; anything longer, take the 96.
