UAE ICP Details 60-Day Entry Visa Requirements for Select Nationals and Families

The UAE Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Ports Authority (ICP) has published the specific document requirements for a special 60-day entry visa for nationals of certain countries and their family members.

The UAE's Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Ports Authority (ICP) has clarified the documentation needed for a special 60-day entry visa, targeting nationals of specific countries and their eligible family members.

This visa category is designed for individuals who hold a valid visa, residence permit, or Green Card issued by one of the countries designated by UAE authorities, and who are residing abroad rather than in their home country.

Eligibility and Application

Applicants must meet specific nationality criteria and possess a qualifying residency document from one of the UAE-specified countries. The application process is managed through the official ICP portal.

Required Documents

To apply for this 60-day visa, individuals need to submit only three documents:

  • A copy of the applicant's passport.
  • A personal photo of the applicant.
  • A copy of the valid visa, residence permit, or Green Card from one of the designated countries.

The ICP portal confirms that the service is subject to its terms and conditions, with eligibility hinging on both the applicant's nationality and the issuing country of their qualifying residency document. Family members are also eligible to apply under the same scheme, provided the primary applicant meets the outlined residency requirements.
