The fees for renewing a GCC multiple-entry visa vary depending on the specific GCC country, the type of visa, and sometimes the duration of the renewal.
See lessHere’s a general overview based on the provided search results, but it’s crucial to check the official government websites of the specific GCC country you are interested in for the most accurate and up-to-date information:
Key points to consider:
* UAE (Dubai/Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Ports Security – ICP):
* A 5-year multiple-entry tourist visa can have an issuance fee of 500 AED.
* There are services like “Extend entry permit” for eligible categories, but specific renewal fees for a multi-entry visa are not explicitly stated for all types.
* For GCC residents, an entry permit is typically valid for 30 days and extendable once for 30 days. The fee for this extension is not clearly specified as a multiple-entry visa renewal.
* For a “Golden/Blue residence visa for multiple trips for 6 months”, the application fee is 100 AED and the issuance fee is 1000 AED.
* “Smart electronic services fees” might apply, which are 100 AED.
* Saudi Arabia:
* A multiple-entry tourist visa valid for up to 1 year is SR 368.
* A multiple-entry tourist visa valid for more than 1 year and up to 5 years is SR 736.
* The Saudi eVisa is typically a one-year, multiple-entry visa allowing up to 90 days of stay. The cost for the tourist eVisa is SAR 535.
* Saudi electronic visas generally cannot be extended. If you wish to extend your stay, you typically need to leave the country and reapply.
* Bahrain:
* Bahrain offers a “multiple entry Visitor eVisa (valid for one year)”. The fees for issuance and renewal are not explicitly detailed in the provided snippets, but the process usually involves an online application and payment of fees.
* There’s also a “Service Directory Extension of a 3-month multiple entry Visit eVisa for GCC residents”, suggesting renewals are possible.
* Qatar:
* The Hayya E-Visa (which can be a single or multiple entry depending on the purpose) has a fee of QAR 100, which is non-refundable.
* To extend an e-Visa, you generally need to proceed to the Directorate of Passport at Hamad International Airport.
Important Notes:
* Additional Fees: Be aware of potential additional fees such as:
* VAT (Value Added Tax) (e.g., 5% in UAE)
* Knowledge Dirham and Innovation Dirham (in UAE)
* Service fees for visa processing centers (like VFS Global)
* Health insurance, which is often a requirement and has its own associated costs.
* Financial guarantees/deposits might be required in some cases.
* Overstay fees if you exceed your visa validity.
* Requirements: Always check the specific requirements for renewal, which can include:
* Valid passport (usually at least 6 months validity)
* Bank statements
* Proof of accommodation/return ticket
* Health insurance for the extended period
* Good standing (no unpaid traffic violations, etc.)
* Application Process: The process typically involves online application through official government portals, filling out data, and paying fees.
Recommendation:
To get the most accurate and up-to-date information on GCC multiple-entry visa renewal fees, it is highly recommended to:
