Do Dominica citizens need a visa for Dubai? Yes. Ordinary passports issued by the Commonwealth of Dominica are not on the UAE's visa-on-arrival lists, so a UAE visa for Dominica passport holders must be issued before departure. The Dubai Visa for Dominica citizens is an e-visa, and the rule follows your passport, whether you live in Roseau, Portsmouth or overseas. If you live in Dominica but travel on another nationality's passport, that passport's rules apply instead.
Dominica or the Dominican Republic?
Is Dominica the same as the Dominican Republic for a Dubai visa? No. Dominica is the English-speaking island nation with Roseau as its capital, while the Dominican Republic shares Hispaniola with Haiti. Dominican Republic passport holders should use our Dubai visa page for Dominican Republic citizens to avoid applying under the wrong nationality.
Stay Length and Cost
How much does a Dubai visa cost for Dominica citizens? Dubai visa fees depend on how long you plan to stay. At Dubai Visits Visa, the 30 Day Single visa, a 30-day tourist visa, is listed at USD 162, and the 60 Day Single visa, our 60-day visit visa for Dubai, is USD 400. Both prices include the UAE government charge and our service fee. Multiple-entry and transit options are also available, and Express Visa fast-tracks applications ahead of standard processing.
How to Get Your E-Visa
How do I get a Dubai Visit visa with a Dominica passport? The Dubai Visit Visa process has four steps:
- Choose the visa that fits your trip, or Express Visa if you fly soon.
- Upload a colour scan of your passport photo page (six months' validity from your travel date is needed) and a recent photo on a white background.
- Add a return flight reservation, plus a hotel booking or your host's Emirates ID.
- Pay, then track your visa status with the Application ID from your acknowledgement email.
These are the core Dubai visa requirements for Dominica applicants. Buy non-refundable tickets only after approval.
Travelling Between Dominica and Dubai
Douglas–Charles Airport, near Marigot on the north-east coast, is the island's main gateway and about an hour by road from Portsmouth. With no long-haul service from the island, most journeys begin with a regional flight. American Airlines links Douglas–Charles with Miami, where Emirates operates non-stop flights to Dubai, although Dominica passport holders need a valid US visa to connect there. Other routings run through Antigua, Barbados or Sint Maarten. Plan the return leg, Dubai to Dominica, with the same care, and board only once your Dubai Visit Visa from Dominica has been issued.
