Who this service is for
Tourists and people visiting family or friends in the UAE. If you are planning to study, see our study abroad service instead.
General application considerations
- Tourist visas are obtained through a sponsor rather than the embassy.
- Sponsors can include accredited travel agents and airlines; residents of the UAE may also sponsor certain relatives under UAE rules.
- Visa rules and costs can change, and the embassy advises confirming details before travelling.
- Make sure any agent you use is accredited, and keep copies of every document and payment.
Common documentation categories
The exact documents depend on your circumstances and the official checklist at the time you apply. Applications commonly involve:
- A passport with sufficient validity
- A recent photograph meeting the sponsor's specifications
- Confirmed travel and accommodation details
- Sponsor documents, if visiting a resident relative
- Any additional documents requested by the sponsor

Frequently asked questions
Can I get a UAE tourist visa from the embassy in Islamabad?
No. The embassy states that it does not issue tourist visas; they are obtained through a sponsor such as an accredited travel agent or an airline.
How does Consult Cell help with UAE visits?
We explain the sponsor routes, help you choose a suitable and accredited route, and prepare and review your documents before they are submitted.
Do UAE visa rules change often?
They can. The UAE Embassy advises checking current requirements before you travel, and so do we.
