Dubai Visa for Citizens of Pakistan

With a Pakistani passport you need a visa for Dubai before you travel. In addition to your passport, the authority needs your Pakistani ID card (CNIC or NICOP), front and back. You upload both directly in the application.

The authority asks for additional documents more often here, so please allow some extra time.

Which passport, which visa?

The visa is issued for your Pakistani passport. Your passport must still be valid for at least six months on the day you enter the UAE. For online applications, Emirates only accepts machine-readable passports. Handwritten passports are not accepted.

Additional ID documents

For the tourist visa, GDRFA Dubai lists the national ID card of the country of origin for Pakistan, and Emirates lists the national ID card for travellers whose main residence is in Pakistan. Pakistan does not appear in this list on the ICP website. Because the information differs, we ask for the ID card with every application: CNIC or NICOP, front and back, with all details clearly readable.

What your residence permit changes

A residence permit from Germany, Austria or Switzerland does not replace the visa. The special rules for residence permit holders described by u.ae and Emirates apply to other nationalities, for example India. Pakistan is not one of them.

Travelling with a travel document instead of a passport

The authorities' websites do not give a separate rule for refugee travel documents or travel documents for foreigners. GDRFA Dubai requires a valid and approved passport or travel document. Emirates points out that different entry rules may apply to holders of non-standard passports and travel documents. Please ask us before you apply with a travel document instead of a passport.

Which documents do citizens of Pakistan need?

  • Passport, valid for at least 6 months beyond entry
  • Passport photo, we create the white background automatically
  • Residence permit, if you live in Germany, Austria or Switzerland
  • Your departure date

Also required

You upload these documents in the application, or after payment if you prefer.

  • Pakistani ID card (CNIC or NICOP) (Front and back)Front and back, all details clearly readable.

Common mistakes you can avoid

  • Uploading only the front of the CNIC or NICOP.
  • A photo of the ID card in which the details are hard to read.
  • Leaving little time before your flight.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use my NICOP instead of my CNIC?

Yes. In the application you upload the CNIC or the NICOP, front and back.

Why do you need my Pakistani ID card?

GDRFA Dubai lists the national ID card as an additional document for Pakistani nationals, and Emirates for travellers whose main residence is in Pakistan. That is why you upload the CNIC or NICOP directly in the application, or after payment if you prefer.

Does my German residence permit replace the visa?

No. The special rules for residence permit holders described by u.ae and Emirates apply to other nationalities. Pakistan is not one of them, so you need the visa before you travel.

How long must my Pakistani passport be valid?

At least six months from the day you enter. This is stated on the UAE government portal u.ae and by GDRFA Dubai.
