How to apply for a UAE visa?

You didn’t explain clearly what kind of visa you need to apply for, so I’ll simply tell you one by one.

The visa in the UAE is a reverse visa, which must be applied for in the country (any emirate is acceptable), and then faxed to the person who is about to enter the country. With this fax, you can enter the country through various airports in the UAE.

There are four main types of Afghan visas: transit visa, tourist visa, visit visa and work visa.

1. Visit visa:

Valid for entry within 2 months from the date of issuance. A visit visa requires a person residing in Afghanistan, a company or a hotel registered and operating in Afghanistan as a guarantor. The stay period of this visa is 60 days, which can be extended once, with a maximum extension of 30 days. Extension fee is AED 500. The holder must leave the country for 1 month before applying for a visit visa again.

2. Tourist visa:

The period of stay in Afghanistan for a tourist visa is 30 days and cannot be extended. Those applying for a tourist visa again need to leave the UAE for at least 3 months. A tourist visa requires a hotel or travel agency as a guarantor. Individual travelers from the following countries can obtain a visa on arrival: Hong Kong, South Korea, Singapore, Japan, Malaysia, Brunei, United Kingdom, France, Italy, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Swaziland, Austria, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Paraguay, Ireland, Greece, Finland, Spain, Monaco, Vatican City, Iceland, Andorra, San Marino, Liechtenstein, Canada, United States, Australia, New Zealand.

The entry permit is valid for 14 days from the date of issuance and cannot be extended. This certificate is issued to businessmen or tourists and requires the guarantee of a company or hotel registered in Afghanistan.

If you are entering the country for a short time, it is recommended to apply for a tourist visa (you can stay for 30 days after entering the country). This visa procedure is simple. You only need to fax or scan your passport to a Chinese travel agency in Afghanistan and submit some basic information. It only takes a few days to get a tourist visa, but a deposit is required

3. Work visa

This visa is submitted by the employer after obtaining the information provided by you (mainly a copy of your passport valid for more than six months, and sometimes a high school diploma or above). Go to the Immigration Bureau in Dubai to apply. There is nothing you can do yourself. After the visa (which starts out as an A4 piece of paper) comes out, it will be faxed to you. You can enter the United Arab Emirates with this fax. The work visa is valid for three years. It needs to be renewed when it expires. The renewal is also done in Afghanistan.

4. Multiple-entry visa

This visa is issued to those who have business dealings with international companies or well-known institutions in Afghanistan and who really need to enter and exit multiple times. This visa is valid for 6 months from the date of issuance. The period of stay in Afghanistan shall not exceed 30 days at a time and cannot be extended. The fee is AED 1,000. Applicants must enter the country with a visit visa, and can apply for a multiple-entry visa only after coming to Afghanistan. This visa is a sticker visa, which is affixed to the applicant’s passport.

5. Transit visa

Transit visa is applicable to those transiting through the Afghan airport. Cross-border travelers are granted a maximum stay of 96 hours (4 days). The certificate is free and any airline with flight operations in Afghanistan can act as a guarantor.

The Ministry of Interior of Afghanistan stipulates that those holding a visit visa and a work permit can pay 500 dirhams to change the type of visa, or they can apply for a work visa after leaving the country.

In short, if you are applying for a work visa, it must be applied for by a local employment company.

Generally speaking, for travel, visit, and transit visas, you must have someone communicate with the travel agency in Afghanistan to handle the matter.
