The validity and expiration dates of an UAE entry permit issued from any of the emirates can be easily traced online with live status. A new entry visa printed will show the validity to enter the country; after arrival, the validity needs to be rechecked as per the visa. Tourist visas and residence visas issued for outside-country travelers get a 2-month window to enter. After arrival in the UAE, the visa duration will start according to the visa type. The short-term single-entry visa is valid to enter within 2 months, and after entry, the visa is valid for a stay of 30 days. A long-term single-entry visa is valid to enter within two months of the visa print date, and after arrival in the UAE, the validity is 60 days for a 60-day stay. A 10-day grace period is applicable on some types of tourist visas, subject to UAE government approval.
