Holders of ordinary Icelandic passports can receive a Dubai Visa on Arrival free of charge when visiting Dubai. For an eligible visit, you can travel without buying a visa in advance.
Important note: Your passport must have at least six months’ validity on arrival. Stay limits apply across repeat visits, and admission is subject to immigration checks.
Dubai Visa requirements for Icelandic citizens
Bring your passport for this journey. Iceland’s travel identity card serves as a travel document within the European Economic Area, but UAE entry requires your passport. Residents of Iceland travelling on another country’s passport should check that nationality’s eligibility.
For a pre-arranged tourist visa, prepare a clear passport scan, a recent colour photograph against a white background, return flight details and hotel or host information. Medical insurance valid in the UAE is also required.
Dubai Visit Visa for Icelandic Citizens: paid options
After your arrival entitlement has been fully used, a pre-arranged visa may be available for a later trip, subject to approval. Dubai Visits Visa lists single-entry and multiple-entry versions of the 30-day Dubai Visit Visa and 60-day Dubai Visit Visa.
The stay length tells you how long you may remain after entry. Entry validity sets a separate deadline for using the visa to arrive.
Dubai Visit Visa fees from Iceland
The 30 Day Single package is listed at USD 162, and the 60 Day Single at USD 400. These commercial prices include government and service charges. Confirm the applicable package and total before payment.
