Travellers seeking a 30-day multiple-entry visa for the United Arab Emirates UAE will pay $320 under the currently published visa pricing structure, while applicants requiring longer stays face higher charges.
The 30-day multiple-entry option allows eligible visitors to make repeated entries during the visa’s validity period, making it suitable for tourists, family visitors and some short-term business travellers.
A 60-day multiple-entry option is listed at $390, providing travellers with a longer permitted stay at a higher cost.
The pricing has become particularly relevant to Nigerian travellers who frequently visit the UAE for tourism, business, family engagements and other short-term purposes.
The 30-day multiple-entry visa is different from a single-entry visa because holders can leave and return during the applicable validity period, subject to the conditions attached to the visa.
Published visa information states that the 30-day multiple-entry category has a validity period of 60 days from issuance.
Applicants are generally required to provide a passport copy showing at least six months’ validity and a passport photograph. Additional documentation may apply depending on the applicant’s nationality and circumstances.
The published pricing also shows that applicants seeking urgent processing may pay more than the regular fee. One UAE visa service currently lists regular processing at $320 and urgent processing at $370.

Travellers should also distinguish between visa fees and charges imposed by agents or application centres. Some service providers add processing or assistance fees to the underlying visa cost.
Information published on UAE visa charges indicates that the exact amount payable can vary according to the application channel and service provider.
For Nigerians planning travel, the change or confirmation of the $320 price provides a useful reference point when budgeting for a UAE trip.
The multiple-entry facility can be particularly useful for travellers whose plans require them to leave the UAE temporarily and return within the permitted validity period.
However, the visa is not a work permit. Visitors intending to take up employment in the UAE require the appropriate employment visa and sponsorship arrangements.
The 60-day multiple-entry category provides an alternative for people who need longer stays, but at the higher published price of $390.
Travellers are advised to confirm the applicable requirements and total charges before making payments because visa rules, processing charges and eligibility conditions can change.
