The service applies to eligible nationals who hold a valid visa, residence permit, or Green Card from one of the countries designated by UAE authorities, and extends to their family members as well.

Documents required for the 60-day UAE visa

Applicants seeking the visa must submit only three documents as part of their application:

1. Passport.

2. Personal photo.

3. A copy of the visa, residence permit, or Green Card.

The ICP portal notes that the service is subject to applicable terms and conditions, and that eligibility depends on the applicant's nationality and the specific country that issued their qualifying residency document.

UAE: Who the 60-day visa covers

The visa is designed specifically for nationals of certain countries who are residing abroad rather than in their home country.

Family members of qualifying applicants are also eligible, provided the primary applicant meets the residency requirements set out by UAE authorities.

The ICP portal, which handles identity, immigration, and border-related services in the UAE, is the official channel through which applicants can access and submit the service.
