Single entry
With a single-entry visa you enter the UAE once. As soon as you leave the country, the visa is used up, even if days are left. For a normal holiday or a family visit, this is the right choice.
Multiple entry
With a multiple-entry visa you can leave and re-enter as often as you like while it is valid. This is worth it if, for example, you make a trip to Oman or plan a stopover on the way there and back.
30 or 60 days
The number tells you how long you may stay in the country from the day you enter. If you stay longer than allowed, fines apply and future applications may become more difficult. If in doubt, choose the longer visa.
