Dubai Visa for Sri Lankans Eligibility

There are no strict eligibility criteria to apply for a Dubai tourist visa. Individuals below 18 years of age need to apply for a visa and travel to Dubai with one or both of their parents. The passports of all Sri Lankans travelling to Dubai need to have a minimum validity of 6 months from travel date. Since Sri Lanka is not in the list of countries for on-arrival visa (like USA, Canada passport holders), Sri Lankans have to apply for a prepaid Dubai visa.

Dubai-based tourism companies (like Arabiers Dubai) are permitted to provide you with a Dubai visa for Sri Lanakans as long as you fulfill the eligibility criteria set by tourism companies. In Arabiers, we expect Sri Lankan applicants to satisfy the following criteria :

1

Are financially capable of completing the trip or have direct family members/ relative/friend living in UAE with a decent job.

2

If you are going for a holiday and have no family members in UAE we will require proof that you are a legit traveler.

3

If you are going to seek employment, we won't provide you with a tourist visa.

4

We will request you to agree that you will either return on time or extend your stay, never overstay your visa.

Tourist visa

Sri Lankans usually travel on a tourist visa, which is easy to get through a tourism business like Arabiers. As a Sri Lankan passport holder, you must apply in advance for a tourist visa, also known as a Dubai visit visa. Tourist visas to the UAE can be issued for 30 days or 60 days with single or multiple entry, depending on your travel plans. Prepaid tourist visas can be extended for another 30 days without having to leave the UAE. A new tourist visa can be obtained without exiting the country. If you are curious about the validity period of a tourist visa, it is 60 days from the time your tourist visa is issued within which you have to enter the UAE.

Business visa

A business visa is part of UAE’s Golden Visa program, which allows foreign nationals to apply for a long-term visa for themselves and their dependents. Any individual who owns any business overseas and wants to start a business in the UAE qualifies as an eligible entrepreneur. Professionals from any part of the world with entrepreneurial expertise are able to apply for a business visa.

Remote work visas

A remote work visa permits you to live in the UAE while working for your current company outside of the country. The visa has a validity period of one year. The UAE cabinet implemented the new Remote Work Visas plan to allow employees from all over the world to work remotely from the UAE. Their main goal is to attract talents and skills from all over the world. The one-year visa permits foreigners to enter the UAE on their own sponsorship and work in accordance with the visa's terms and conditions.

The first of its kind in the Middle East, this significant step allows entrepreneurs and talented individuals to innovate in the UAE's safe and attractive business climate, with access to all necessary world-class facilities.

What are the requirements to apply for a remote work visa ?

Patients from other countries can seek treatment in the UAE through medical institutions or government and commercial hospitals. The sponsor is the registered medical facility or hospital from which the patient is seeking treatment. They are responsible for processing treatment entrance permits at the patient's request.

Foreigners intending to enter the UAE for treatment are granted entrance permits by the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs in Dubai, based on the sponsorship of medical institutes (public and private). There are two sorts of permits:

Single Entry Medical Treatment Permit : entitles the holder to enter the UAE within 60 days of issue and stay for 60 days from the date of entry. It is extendable but only for a single entry.
