Extension of visit visa?

Question

I want to extend my mother's visit visa for further one more month on 27th july. She has completed two months stay.

I am bit worried because of new rules.

Do we have to get new visa for her or we can extend the current visa for one more month?

Please help! Thanks!

Answer 1

Dear Deep

Better to contact immediately with the DNRD if you are in Dubai or ADNRD in Abu Dhabi.

The validity of visit visa will be 60 days [don't count it as 2 month (it may or may not be 62 days)]. So at least by 2/3 days in advance you must do the extension, and obviously it is possible till July 31st. You are able to do the extension of mother's visit visa by paying AED500 as NRD fee + a medical insurance from the approved agency (mostly Daman) for one month (it may costs 90AED-once I done this for my brother)

New rules will come into effect only by August 01st and act fast to avoid tension.

Best of Luck

Thx

The new visa rules come into effect on 1 August.  Not sure what your nationality is but I know that you can go to the immigration place and extend it for another month but you will have to pay 500AED for it.  Or if you can do a visa run to say Oman with your mother she will I think get another 60 days but as I said the new rules do not come into effect until 1 August.
