Dubai Visa for UK BRP and eVisa Holders
If you are checking a Dubai visa for UK BRP holders or eVisa holders, your UK immigration status and passport nationality answer two different questions. A UK eVisa proves your right to live in the UK; your passport usually determines whether you need a UAE visa before flying to Dubai.
Apply for a Dubai Visa Find Your NationalityDoes a UK BRP give visa-free entry to Dubai?
No, not by itself. Eligibility for a UAE visa for UK BRP holders is decided mainly by the nationality printed on the passport. A UK residence permit does not turn a visa-required passport into a British passport. If that nationality requires advance permission, arrange the correct UAE visa before departure.
BRP cards have been replaced by UK eVisas
GOV.UK confirms that all biometric residence permits have expired and been replaced by eVisas. An eVisa is the digital record of a person’s identity and UK immigration status.
The phrase Dubai visa UK BRP is still widely used by travellers, so this guide keeps it for clarity. In practice, most current UK residents should access their UKVI account and check their eVisa before travel.

UK BRP and eVisa travel questions
Do UK BRP holders need a Dubai visa?
It depends mainly on passport nationality. UK residence status alone does not provide a universal UAE visa exemption. Visa-required passport holders should arrange permission before travel.
Can I travel using an expired BRP card?
GOV.UK states that BRPs have expired and been replaced by eVisas. Check the specific permitted uses of an expired card and make sure your UKVI account and travel document are updated before travel.
Is a UK eVisa the same as a UAE eVisa?
No. A UK eVisa proves UK immigration status. A UAE eVisa authorises eligible entry to the UAE under its own dates and conditions.
Which nationality should I select on the Dubai visa form?
Select the nationality printed in the passport you will use for the trip. Do not select British nationality only because you live in the UK.
Do I need to provide a UK eVisa share code?
It may be useful when current UK residence evidence is requested. Application requirements differ, so provide it only through an appropriate secure channel when asked.
Can a UK resident apply for a Dubai visa online?
Eligible applicants can submit passport, photograph and supporting files online through a visa-assistance route. UAE authorities retain the final decision.
Does paying for express processing guarantee issuance?
No. Express service prioritises handling where available; it does not guarantee approval or a fixed decision time.
How much is a Dubai visa for a UK BRP holder?
DubaiVisa.com’s current assisted-service prices start from US$100 for a 48-hour transit visa and US$122 for a 14-day tourist visa. The 30-day single-entry option is US$125 and the 60-day single-entry option is US$220. Final availability and charges depend on passport nationality, entry type and selected processing service.
Can the same UAE visa be used in Abu Dhabi?
A UAE tourist visa permits travel within the UAE, including Dubai and Abu Dhabi, subject to the entry type, permitted stay and other conditions printed on the visa.
