UAE extends pre-approved - New visit entry permit (14 days) for Emirates customers from select markets; service offered through VFS Global.
Global Traveling to Dubai has become more convenient for eligible Filipino travelers.
The UAE immigration authorities have expanded their pre-approved 14-day visit entry permit program to include passport holders from the Philippines, South Africa, Thailand, Indonesia, Kenya, and Vietnam. The initiative is available exclusively to travelers flying with Emirates Airline who hold a confirmed return or onward Emirates ticket.
The visa application process will be managed by VFS Global through its Dubai Visa Processing Centre (DVPC), offering a streamlined online platform designed to make applications faster and more convenient.
According to Jiten Vyas, Chief Commercial Officer and Head of Business Development at VFS Global, the initiative reflects the UAE’s commitment to making travel more accessible while enhancing the overall visitor experience.
To qualify, travelers must plan to stay in the UAE for more than 48 hours but no longer than 14 days. They must also intend to enter the UAE within 30 days from the date of application.
In addition, eligible applicants must hold a valid residence permit with at least six months of validity from one of the following countries or regions: Australia, Canada, European Union member states, Japan, New Zealand, the Republic of Korea, Singapore, the United Kingdom, or the United States. Applicants residing in the US must be Green Card holders, while student visa holders are not eligible under this program.
The initiative aims to simplify travel procedures for short-term visitors, whether traveling for tourism, business, or transit, while reinforcing the UAE’s position as a leading global destination.
