Extend your stay hassle-free with our streamlined visa renewal services.
Most UAE visas are only valid for a specific period of time — usually, one, two, five or ten years. If you wish to remain in the country beyond that period, you need to apply for an extension or renewal.
These applications can be simple if handled correctly with all supporting documents and justification for the extension. However, any errors during the application process can lead to rejection and eventually deportation. Our visa solutions ensure you avoid these and renew your permit without issues.

Renewal can usually begin in the weeks before expiry rather than only after it. Starting early matters because the renewal involves a fresh medical test and Emirates ID reissue, both of which take their own time. Leaving it to the last week is the most common reason people end up in a grace period.
Yes. A medical fitness test is required for renewal, not just for a first-time visa. The same applies to Emirates ID, which is renewed alongside the visa rather than separately.
A grace period applies after expiry, and fines accrue once it ends. Both the length of the grace period and the daily fine are set by the immigration authority and have changed more than once, so check the current figures with ICP or the relevant emirate authority rather than relying on an older published number.
If your employer is your sponsor, the renewal is processed through them and they hold the responsibility for initiating it. If you are self-sponsored through your own company, it is yours to manage. Either way, the obligation to hold valid residency sits with you.
Extended absence can invalidate a residence visa. The permitted period outside the country before residency lapses depends on your visa category: golden visa holders are treated differently from standard residence visa holders. If you have been away for several months, check your status before assuming renewal is straightforward.
