Tourist Visa (30 day) β€” Our Approach

The UAE 30-day Tourist Visa is the most popular visa type for Sri Lankan visitors to Dubai and the UAE. Applications are processed entirely online through airline sponsors or licensed agencies, and most visas are approved within 2–4 business days. The visa can be extended for a further 30 days from within the UAE.

Sri Lanka has a large and established community in the UAE. We handle the full range of UAE visa categories: short-stay tourist visas, employment visas, family residency, and Golden Visa applications.

Itinerary Structuring: A credible, detailed itinerary is one of the strongest signals of genuine tourist intent. We help you build an itinerary that supports your application, not one that raises doubt.
Refusal Prevention: Tourist visa refusals typically stem from insufficient funds, weak ties to Sri Lanka, or unclear purpose. We identify and resolve these gaps before submission.
Efficient Processing: We know the processing windows, peak periods, and fastest submission routes for each destination, so you apply at the right time to meet your travel dates.

Your itinerary should cover each day of your planned stay, including planned locations, accommodation details, and activities. It should be realistic and consistent with your financial evidence. We help you build this as part of your application.
Most tourist visa applications require at minimum a flight reservation (not necessarily fully paid). We advise on the specific requirements for your destination.
For Schengen destinations (France), a single visa allows travel across all 29 Schengen member states. For other destinations such as Canada, the UK, USA, UAE, and Australia, each country requires its own visa.
First-time applicants can face greater scrutiny, particularly around financial evidence and ties to Sri Lanka. We build stronger documentation packages for first-time applicants specifically addressing these concerns.
We conduct a refusal analysis, identify the specific grounds, and build a stronger reapplication. In some cases, we may recommend addressing underlying factors, such as building a stronger financial or travel history, before reapplying.
