What is the 60 Days A2A Visa Extension?
An A2A visa change is a common way to restart your stay in the UAE when your current visa is about to end. You take a short flight to a nearby airport, such as Muscat, wait in the airport while your new visa is issued, then fly back to the UAE on the new visa.
Our team coordinates the timing of the new visa with your flights, so you know exactly when it is safe to board the return flight.

Frequently asked questions
What is an A2A visa change in Dubai?
A2A means airport to airport. You fly out of the UAE to a nearby country, stay inside the airport while your new UAE visa is issued, and fly back the same day on the new visa.
How long does an A2A visa change take?
The visa is processed the same day. The whole trip, including flights, typically takes a few hours to one day depending on flight schedules.
Do I need to leave the airport during an A2A visa change?
No. In most cases you remain in the transit or departure area of the destination airport until the new visa is approved.
Is the flight ticket included in the A2A price?
The listed price covers the visa. Flight tickets are booked separately unless you ask our team for a package quote.
