Dubai tourist visas in 48 hours: agents report surge in demand

Dubai's announcement to process single-entry 30 and 60-day tourist visas within 48 working hours has triggered a sharp rise in enquiries, travel agents in the city say.

Lower accommodation rates, seasonal promotions and a packed concert calendar are adding to Dubai's appeal during the summer months, with the new turnaround making it easier for travellers to plan short-notice trips.

Agents outlined a streamlined application process that requires a clear passport scan, a passport-sized photograph and proof of onward travel.
