Our retelling · details in the original publication
The UAE offers an annual fee waiver for children's tourist visas during the summer months. From July 15 to September 15, the application fee is waived for kids under 18 traveling with at least one parent.
This applies to both 30-day and 60-day tourist entry permits. This is a good opportunity for families planning a visit during the school holidays to reduce expenses.
Note that the waiver covers the government visa fee only. Parents will still need to pay for mandatory travel insurance and any service charges charged by the travel agency processing the application.
If you are planning a trip, make sure to apply within these dates to benefit from the discount. Check with your agent for the final breakdown of costs.
