How to Get a UAE Tourist Evisa as a South African Citizen

The United Arab Emirates offers an exciting mix of modern cities and cultural experiences, making it a popular choice for South African tourists. Whether you’re drawn to the skyscrapers of Dubai or the charm of Abu Dhabi, there’s plenty to explore. But before packing your bags, you’ll need to secure a UAE Tourist eVisa.

Here’s a simple guide to help you apply for your eVisa without hassle.

What is a UAE Tourist eVisa?

For South African passport holders, the UAE Tourist eVisa is a mandatory document for short-term visits, whether for tourism or business. This eVisa is valid for single or multiple entry only. Once approved, you’ll have 60 days to use it, and you can stay in the UAE for up to 30 days.

Is the Application Process Complicated?

Not at all! Applying for a UAE Tourist eVisa is straightforward. You’ll only need to answer a few quick questions and upload 3 essential documents, such as your passport and proof of travel plans.

Our streamlined process ensures that your application is accurate and complete, keeping our rejection rate impressively low and outperforming many others in the industry.
