Dubai visa for Turks
Turkish citizens wishing to travel to Dubai should apply online for a Dubai visa prior to traveling to the UAE.

Turkish nationals traveling to Dubai for tourism can apply online for the self-sponsored 5-year Dubai tourist visa, which allows for a 90-days stay each visit, extendable for another 90 days, within the Dubai visa’s 5-year validity period.
Turkish nationals wishing to work in Dubai must do so under a Dubai work visa, which is applied for and sponsored by an MoHRE registered company. If a Turkish national demonstrates exceptional talent or skill, has a proven business track record, wishes to start-up a business, invest, or work remotely in Dubai, the Turkish citizen can apply for a Dubai business visa. The Dubai business visa grants Turkish UAE residents a 1-month temporary visa, or grants Turkish nationals living outside the UAE with a 6-month temporary visa. The temporary Dubai visa should then should be converted into a Dubai residence visa during the temporary Dubai visa’s validity period. Both the Dubai work visa and the Dubai business visa benefits Turkish nationals with all the living and working advantages Dubai has to offer.
