Questions, answered.
Common questions about UAE visas, trip plans, payments and work preparation.
UAE visas
Check my visaWhich UAE visas can Tara Fly help with?
UAE visit visas: 30-day and 60-day tourist visas (single entry), 30-day and 60-day multiple-entry visas, and the 96-hour transit visa. We check your documents, prepare and file your application, and send your e-visa by email.
Can you help travelers of any nationality?
Yes — we help travelers of every nationality. Some passports get a visa on arrival in the UAE and some need a visa before travel. Our free visa checker tells you which applies to you, and our team confirms it before you pay.
Does Tara Fly process visas?
Yes, for UAE visit visas. We check your documents, prepare your application and file it with the UAE authorities for you. We don't issue visas ourselves: the UAE authorities make every decision, so no one can honestly guarantee approval.
Do you guarantee my visa will be approved?
No. Visa decisions belong only to the UAE authorities. What we do is make sure your application is complete and your documents are clear and correct before it's filed, which avoids the most common, preventable problems.
How much does a UAE visa cost?
It depends on the visa type and your nationality. Your quote shows our service fee and the UAE government fee separately, and it is confirmed before you pay — no surprises.
What documents do I need?
Usually a passport valid for at least 6 months (a clear colour scan of the bio page), a recent passport-style photo on a white background, a return or onward flight booking, and a hotel booking or your host's address in the UAE. For a transit visa you need a confirmed onward ticket to a third country. We tell you if anything else is needed.
How long does it take?
Once we have complete documents, processing is usually 1–2 working days for a 96-hour transit visa, 2–4 working days for tourist visas and 3–5 working days for multiple-entry visas. Timing depends on the UAE authorities and can't be guaranteed, so apply early.
How will I receive my visa?
Your e-visa is sent to your email. Print it or keep a copy on your phone for check-in and arrival in the UAE.
Can I work in the UAE on a visit visa?
No. A tourist or visit visa does not allow you to work. Working requires a proper work permit and employment visa, normally arranged by the employer.
Is my passport data safe?
We use your passport documents only to prepare and file your visa application, share them only with the UAE authorities and authorized partners involved in filing, and delete them when they're no longer needed. Our privacy policy has the details.

We offer different planning options to suit different needs. Our Quick Plan is free. You can purchase TARA FLY Basic (₱999) or TARA FLY Premium (₱1,500). Arrival Assist is a quote-only request based on your airport pickup and drop-off requirements, and no payment is required when requesting a quote.
How can I pay?
You can pay through the payment methods displayed at checkout, handled securely by PayMongo — such as cards, GCash, Maya and GrabPay. Available options may vary depending on the service and payment setup.

Personalized plans and packages are generally non-refundable once we've started preparing them; if we can't deliver a service you paid for, you get a full refund. UAE government visa fees can't be recovered once an application is filed. See our refund policy for the details.
