A visa is required before travel
The UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs visa-exemption page marks Bangladesh as visa required 1. That means a Bangladesh ordinary passport holder should not plan on receiving a tourist visa at the airport.
The UAE government directs applicants to the ICP service, Dubai's GDRFA or approved airline and tourism channels, depending on the sponsor and emirate 4.
Read the official fee as components
ICP lists AED 100 for the application, AED 100 for each month of a single-entry visit visa and AED 100 for the smart service 2. A multiple-entry visit visa has an AED 200 issue charge per month 2.
The same service card lists an AED 1,000 single-entry guarantee or AED 2,000 multiple-entry guarantee, plus AED 20 to deposit the guarantee 2. A guarantee is not the same as a final fee. Ask the applicant channel when and how it is returned.
Who submits the application
ICP says a licensed tourism establishment submits a tourist-visa application 3. UAE airlines and approved travel channels may submit eligible applications, and a resident or organisation can sponsor other visit categories under the relevant rules 4.
An agent's quoted total can include its own service, insurance and sponsor costs. Ask for an itemised invoice that separates government fees, the refundable guarantee and private charges.
Documents and length of stay
The passport must be valid for at least six months. ICP lists valid UAE health insurance and a return ticket among the conditions 2. Visit periods can be 30, 60 or 90 days, based on the selected category 2,3.
The visa is sent electronically after issue 3. An issued entry permit has its own last date for entry, then the authorised stay begins under the permit conditions.
Overstay and price checks
The UAE government lists an AED 50 daily overstay fine 3. Leave or extend under an authorised route before the stay expires.
Fee pages can change, and Dubai can use a GDRFA service card rather than the federal ICP card. Recheck the service card used for the actual application before money is sent 4.
