UAE 5-Year Multiple-Entry Tourist Visa Guide
A current guide to the five-year multiple-entry tourist visa, including bank evidence, stay limits, health insurance, travel documents, first-entry timing, fees and the financial guarantee.
Important: Meeting the USD 4,000 bank-evidence requirement does not by itself guarantee visa issuance. The application must satisfy the complete official service requirements.
5-Year Tourist Visa Bank-Evidence Evaluator
This tool screens the financial-document requirement only. It does not determine immigration eligibility or guarantee issuance.
Meets the basic bank-evidence screen
Your entered information shows at least USD 4,000 and six months of bank evidence. The authority must still review the actual official bank statement and all other visa requirements.
For a stronger basic screen, confirm USD 4,000/equivalent bank evidence for six months, valid health insurance and a return/onward ticket.
Core eligibility requirements
| Requirement | Current official position |
|---|---|
| Visa validity | Five years from issuance under the multi-tourist-visa framework. |
| Bank evidence | Proof of USD 4,000 or equivalent in foreign currency during the six months preceding application. |
| Passport | Valid for at least six months. |
| Health insurance | Valid health insurance is required; the current ICP long-term service specifies UAE-issued insurance with 180-day validity. |
| Travel ticket | Return or onward ticket is required by the current service information. |
| Financial guarantee | Current ICP service information lists an AED 3,000 visa financial guarantee. |
The USD 4,000 rule: what it actually means
The current official wording is important. The requirement is documentary proof of a bank balance of USD 4,000 or its equivalent in another currency during the six-month period before the application.
This page therefore does not describe the requirement as a six-month arithmetic average, and it does not convert the USD amount into one permanently fixed AED amount. Your bank evidence should be capable of demonstrating the required financial position in the format accepted by the authority.
Stay limits and the 90/180 rule
Initial stay
Up to 90 consecutive days.
Extension
The authority may extend the stay for a similar period, subject to the applicable annual limit.
Annual ceiling
Up to 180 days in a year under the standard extension framework.
No carry-forward of unused days
ICP states that if the holder does not use the full 90 days, the unused portion is not carried forward to the following year.
First-entry deadline
Enter within 60 days of issuance
The current ICP five-year tourist-visa service states that the entry visa is valid for 60 days from the date of issuance and that the applicant must make the first entry within that period. Once the first entry has occurred, the visa becomes multiple-entry and this first-entry condition does not repeat for subsequent trips.
Fees and financial guarantee
| ICP listed component | Amount |
|---|---|
| Application fee | AED 100 |
| Five-year multiple-entry issuance fee | AED 500 |
| Visa financial guarantee | AED 3,000 |
| Financial-guarantee deposit fee | AED 20 |
| Smart-service fee | AED 100 |
| Total of these listed components | AED 3,720 |
The AED 3,720 figure is the sum of the listed ICP components above; it should not be treated as a guaranteed nationwide or Dubai-GDRFA price because authority and channel charges can differ. The AED 3,000 guarantee is a refundable financial guarantee subject to the conditions stated by the authority.

Important edge cases
Overstay and financial-guarantee consequences
Current ICP service information states that an overstay fine of AED 50 per day applies after expiry or cancellation of the entry permit and the applicable grace period.
The five-year tourist-visa framework also provides that the financial guarantee can be enforced when the holder violates the permitted stay. This makes accurate entry/exit tracking important for frequent travellers.
ICP and GDRFA: which authority?
| Authority | Use | Important distinction |
|---|---|---|
| ICP | Federal immigration services and smart-service channels | Current published service lists the federal fees and requirements described on this page. |
| GDRFA Dubai | Dubai immigration services | Dubai has its own service channel and fee schedule, so Dubai applicants should verify the GDRFA amount before payment. |
The existence of the same five-year visa category does not mean every charge, document presentation step or processing channel is identical between federal ICP and Dubai GDRFA.
