How long can a Filipino stay in Dubai?
A Filipino passport holder can visit the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and stay in Dubai for up to 30 days without a visa. However, if they intend to stay longer, they will need to apply for a residency visa. The type of residency visa required will depend on the purpose of their stay and their profession. For example, professionals seeking employment may apply for a work visa, while those wishing to invest in the country may apply for an investor visa. In order to apply for a residency visa, they will need to submit various documents, including their passport, copies of their educational certificates and work experience, and a medical certificate. Once their visa is approved, they will need to register with the UAE's General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA) and obtain a residency permit.
