Share your details with Open Visa Global. A specialist will review your profile and confirm the best next step.
Takes your nationality, UAE residency status and destination, and tells you which visa route generally applies — whether you need a visa at all, which category fits your trip, and which of our services matches. It is the fastest way to find out whether you are looking at an online authorisation, an in-person application with biometrics, or no visa at all.
Tell us your passport nationality
This is the single field that decides most of the outcome. Entry rules are set by the passport you hold, not by your UAE residence.
Confirm your UAE residency status
Residency affects where you can apply from and whether the local consulate or application centre will accept your file.
Pick your destination and purpose
Tourism, business, study and family visits sit in different categories with different evidence requirements.
Review the guidance
You get the likely route, the documents usually involved, and the service that fits — plus a direct line to us if the answer isn't clear-cut.
Treat the result as a starting direction, not a decision. It tells you which route to prepare for and what to gather. It cannot tell you whether a specific application will be approved — no tool can, because that judgement sits with the consular officer reviewing your individual circumstances.
No, and you should be wary of any service that claims otherwise. It tells you which visa route applies and what is usually required. The decision itself is made by the embassy or consulate of your destination, based on your full application.
Because entry requirements are set by passport nationality. Two people living on the same street in Dubai can face completely different requirements for the same destination if they hold different passports. This is the most common misunderstanding we encounter.
Message us. Previous refusals, unusual travel history, dual nationality and self-employment all need a proper look rather than a form. Our refusal recovery service exists specifically for the harder cases.
