UAE opens applications for $27 multiple-entry tourist visas for FIFA Hayya card holders

United Arab Emirates (UAE) has begun accepting applications for multiple-entry tourist visas for Hayya cardholders travelling to Doha for the much-awaited FIFA World Cup 2022 Qatar.

The permit allows World Cup attendees to enter UAE multiple times for 90 days, at a nominal cost of AED100 ($27). The 90-day limit will begin on the date of issuance of the visa.

Those exempt from visas, can travel to and stay in the UAE according to the current regulations set up by the government.

According to the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs & Port Security (ICP), the special permit comes “to enhance the prospects of cooperation in line with the common ties with Qatar,” the Emirates News Agency (WAM) reported.

The visas can also be extended for another 90 days as per the UAE protocol and rules in place.

Hayya cardholders can apply for the visa through the official ICP website.
