These facilities include those below 18 provided that they are accompanied by a parent, regardless of the length of the validity of the parent’s visa.

those wishing to benefit from these facilities can apply through the authority’s electronic channels  or via its smart application (ica) uae echannels.

They can fill the family tourism visa with parents’ data and then add the children and their data through the system.

During the application period, the applicant will need to show proof of age.

Tourists who wish to visit the country can apply for family travel visas through the approved travel and tourism offices in their countries, as well as through the offices of UAE national carriers (Emirates, Etihad Airways, Flydubai and Air Arabia) and benefit from the exemption.

The decision follows the exemption of transit tourists from visa fees for the first 48 hours.

A 14-day express tourist visa costs Dh497 per head and a 30-day multi-entry tourist visa costs Dh917 if the traveller purchases it online.

The total visa costs for a family of four (parents and two children) would be Dh3,780. With the exemptions, families will have to pay only Dh1,890, excluding taxes.

90-day multi-entry tourist visa costs Dh945.
