![dubai visit visa fee for child No Visa Fee for Children: Here's How to Apply for a Family Group Visit Visa in UAE](https://focus.hidubai.com/content/images/size/w1000/2023/11/family-visit-visa.jpg)
Tourists can apply for the family group visit visa through travel agencies for either 30 days or 60 days which can be extended within the country.
If your loved ones are planning a trip to the UAE, here's a reminder: tourists can apply for a family group visit visa, in which children receive a visa free-of-cost.
The family group visit visa allows children under the age of 18 to receive a visa free-of-cost, while the parents to pay for their own fee.
“The application for this visa should be submitted along with either father’s or mother’s application,”
said Subair Thekepurathvalappil, senior manager for inbound and outbound operations at Regal Tours Worldwide.
Industry experts said that the family group visit visa is highly in demand and many visitors are opting for this entry permit.
“A family group visit visa is more convenient and cost-effective for families, given that there is no visa fee for children under the age of 18,” said Subair adding that it is not restricted to any number of children.
“The visa can be applied for one parent and both of them visiting the UAE is not necessary,”
added Subair.
As it's the festive season, we are issuing many family group visit visas every day as Indians want to celebrate Diwali in Dubai, said Firoz Maliyakkal, founder and CEO of Tahira Tours and Travels
Experts say that this visa was introduced two years ago and people from all over the world who are aware of it prefer this service.
How to apply
To apply for this visa, visitors should collectively submit passport copy and photos to the agency.
“We will process the entry permit as a family visa, where the children can travel without visa charges. However travel agent service charges and insurance must be paid for children,”
said Firoz.
“This visa will be issued in a day or two,”
Firoz added.
The visa fee for parents within the group application, along with the service charge for children, may vary on the travel agency.
However, the cost for 30 days visa for a parent ranges from Dh350 to Dh500 on average and the service charge and insurance for a child lies between Dh80 and Dh120.
“For 60 days visa for single person, the fees is Dh500 to Dh650 on an average and the service charge including insurance may vary from Dh130 to Dh170,”

Experts said that the family visa can be extended without exiting the country,

“Visitors can extend the family visa up to 120 days without exiting the country,”

Free Dubai Tourist Visas for Minors – Everything You Need to Know
Last Updated: November 19, 2021
![dubai visit visa fee for child UAE-Visa-Exemption-for-Minors](https://blog.raynatours.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/UAE-Visa-Exemption-for-Minors.jpg)
UAE Free visa
So how does the visa exemption for minors really benefit the visitors and residents alike.
- First of all, it promotes for a super affordable Dubai vacation: Imagine a family of four including two kids (below 18 years) considering a summer holiday in Dubai. With this new visa waiver program, the families will be able to cut down the holiday expenses tremendously, as they needn’t have to pay any fee in terms of their kids’ entry to Dubai or UAE as a whole during July – September.
- Extremely beneficial for UAE residents as well: In another scenario, the visa exemption rule comes as a boon for residents (regardless of their nationality) who wish to bring their family with little ones to the UAE for a brief period. Of course, this makes it the best time to realize their dream. After all, the country has one of the highest concentrations of ex-pat community with people from more than 200 countries working and living here.
- Skip the complex visa application procedures: Due to the very fact that you needn’t have to worry about the documentation or fee of your minor kids’ visas, this visa program allows you to save considerable time and money.
New Visa Policy and Its Impact On The Economy
With the legalization of this visa waiver program, it’s evident that visitors to the UAE are likely to experience a great level of ease. That apart, this is expected to incredibly boost the international tourists’ influx thus giving a major facelift to Dubai’s image as a favorite family summer retreat. Needless to say, it will create an intensely progressive impact on the UAE’s economic conditions, essentially during the offseason.
Remarkably, the new visa policy came soon after the rollout of a string of significant visa reforms by the UAE Cabinet. One of the most prominent among them is the launch of the free transit 48 hours visa which further offers the opportunity to extend the transit visa for another 96 hours for a nominal amount of AED 50. Focused to accelerate the economic growth, the new legislative package also covers a six-month visa for job-seekers plus a 10-year visa for investors.
Top Reasons On Why Should Make The Most Of The New Visa Exemption Policy!
If you think that July – September months are low season in Dubai and not worth visiting, then you’re absolutely wrong. Despite the blistering heat, the reality is that things which you can experience in the off-season have their own appeal and are mostly as amazing as those you get to enjoy during the peak season. And these come with the added perk of immense savings.
- This is the time when the region’s most sought after hotels and resorts offer the best deals on their choicest accommodation options. So go ahead and make your reservation in advance to bag the best deals to stay like a royal in Dubai.
- You’ll also be able to enjoy a heavy price drop on airline tickets.

Step-by-Step Procedure in Acquiring a Visa for Your Child
How to apply for a uae residence visa for your child / children.
In a regular scenario, it is the father (head of the family) who is ideally the one to sponsor the child in the country. But there may be certain cases wherein a mother may need to sponsor the child such as when the father has lost his job.
A parent residing in the UAE can sponsor her children who are below 18 years old and not married. This does not include university or college students, unless a certificate proving that they are below 18 and not married is submitted.
Requirements/Qualifications In any case, a mother who wants to sponsor her child in the country must meet the following conditions / requirements:

- Marriage certificate attested by the UAE Embassy in the Philippines and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the UAE
- No Objection Certificate (NOC) in Arabic from the husband regarding the mother’s petition to sponsor their child. If the husband is not in the UAE, the NOC must be attested by the UAE Embassy in the Philippines and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the UAE.
