Most UAE residents who are not visa-exempt need a UK Standard Visitor visa for tourism, business meetings or visiting family. It usually allows stays of up to 6 months per visit, and long-term visit visas (2, 5 or 10 years) are also available.
Tell us your nationality and travel dates and your Travelax consultant will confirm exactly which visa you need, the documents required and a realistic timeline – free of charge.

How long can I stay in the UK on a visitor visa?
Usually up to 6 months per visit. Long-term visit visas allow repeat visits over 2, 5 or 10 years, but each stay is still limited.
Where do I give my biometrics in the UAE?
At the UK Visa Application Centre. We book the appointment for you and tell you exactly what to bring.
Do I need a visa or an ETA?
It depends on your nationality. Visa-exempt nationals need a UK ETA, while most other nationalities need a Standard Visitor visa. We confirm this for you for free.
How much does a UK visa cost?
The total is the official visa fee (and visa-centre fee, if any) plus our service fee. We give you a clear quote on WhatsApp before you pay anything.
Can Travelax guarantee my UK visa?
No agency can honestly guarantee approval – the decision is made by the embassy or immigration authority. We make sure your application is complete and well prepared, which improves your chances.
