Your UAE visa is about to expire, but you're not ready to leave Dubai yet. Maybe you've fallen in love with the city, found a potential job opportunity, or just want more time with family.
Whatever your reason, the 30-day A2A visa extension is designed exactly for situations like yours.
A2A stands for "Airport to Airport"—basically, you take a quick flight to a nearby country and come back the same day with a fresh 30-day visa. The whole thing takes about 4-8 hours. No packing bags for a week-long trip, no expensive hotels in another country, just a simple day trip that solves your visa problem.
Dubai Visa Center handles everything from booking your flights to making sure you have the right documents. We've helped thousands of people extend their stay, and we know exactly how to make it smooth and stress-free.
How the A2A Visa Actually Works
Let's break down what happens on your A2A day:
You'll fly to a nearby country like Oman, Bahrain, Kuwait, or Saudi Arabia. The flight is short—usually between 45 minutes to 2 hours. When you land, you don't leave the airport. You just wait in the transit area (there's usually a coffee shop, duty-free stores, comfortable seating) for your return flight.
After an hour or two, you board your flight back to Dubai. When you arrive at Dubai immigration, you present your new visa and you're done. Your 30-day extension starts right then.
Most people leave Dubai in the morning and are back by late afternoon. You could literally do this and still have dinner at your favorite restaurant in Dubai the same evening.
What Documents Do You Need?
Nothing complicated here. You need:
Your passport (it should be valid for at least 6 months) A copy of your current UAE visa 2-4 passport-sized photos with a white background Proof of where you're staying in Dubai (hotel booking or residence address) The application form (we'll send you this) Payment for the visa and flights
If you're missing something, don't panic. Contact us at Dubai Visa Center and we'll tell you exactly what you need and how to get it.
How to Apply
The application process is straightforward:
Go to Dubai Visa Center and select the A2A visa extension service. Fill out the online form with your passport details. Upload scans of your documents—just take photos with your phone if you don't have a scanner.
Pay the fees online (we accept cards and bank transfers). Within a day or two, we'll email you confirming everything is approved. We'll also send you your flight details and clear instructions for the travel day.
On your travel day, arrive at the airport 3 hours early (trust us on this, airports can be unpredictable). Follow the instructions we sent you. Board your flight, wait at the other airport, fly back, and go through Dubai immigration with your new visa.
That's it. You can track your application status anytime on our website if you want to check where things are.
Why People Choose This Service
The biggest reason is time. A traditional visa run means flying somewhere, staying overnight (or several nights), spending money on hotels and food, then flying back. That's expensive and it takes you away from whatever you're doing in Dubai for days.
With A2A, you're done in half a day. If you're working remotely, you might miss half a workday. If you're on vacation, you lose maybe one afternoon. That's it.
It's also cheaper. When you add up the cost of hotels, meals, and transportation in another country, a traditional visa run can cost more than the A2A service, and it's definitely more hassle.
Plus, everything is legal and official. This isn't some workaround—it's a legitimate visa extension method recognized by UAE immigration.
A Few Things to Keep in Mind
Apply before your current visa expires. Seriously, don't wait until the last day. Give yourself at least a week. If you overstay your visa, you'll pay daily fines (AED 50 per day, plus other fees), and that complicates everything.
Keep your schedule flexible on your travel day. Flights can be delayed, things happen. Don't book important meetings or appointments for that day.
Make sure your passport has enough validity. If it expires in less than 6 months, you might run into problems.
If you're changing from a work visa or residence visa, talk to us first. There might be additional steps depending on your current visa type.
