Obtaining a visa through a sponsor in the UAE

Some visitors can obtain visas through companies with which they cooperate or with the help of relatives residing in the UAE. The visa must be obtained before departing to the country. The procedure for issuing visas through a sponsor takes from one to five days (additional time should be taken into account in case of public holidays in the Republic of Belarus or the UAE). The sponsor provides an individual with an invitation to visit the country and thus is responsible for him during his stay in the UAE. The sponsor can be any individual or legal entity residing in the UAE.

The contact legal entity whose invitation the visit is being made;

A relative working or living in the UAE;

The hotel where the applicant has booked a room.
