Security Deposit:
If you are applying for a visit or

amount is refundable once visiting person left the country or change his/her
status. To avoid security deposit fees, read till end.
GDRFA will secure 1020 AED for
first-degree relatives (parents, sibling-brother, sister or children)
whereas for second-degree relatives that includes person’s grandparents, grandchildren,
uncles, aunts, nephews and nieces or half-siblings will be charged 2020 AED.
How to get UAE visit visa without paying a security deposit?
To avoid security deposit amount you
need to look for authorized travel agency and since the travel agency is the
'sponsor' of your visitor visa, you as an individual, do not have to pay out
the security deposit (guarantee) which the Amer services at GDRFA or online
portals will ask for when applying through them.
Yes, it’s true when you go through the
travel agency (Tourism Company) for sponsoring your first-degree or
second-degree relatives; there is no need to pay this security deposit as the
travel agency will complete all paper work and the good news is that there is
also less paper work from your side.
If you are applying for a visit visa
or tourist visa through travel agency, you do not require above mentioned
attested labour contract, Arabic salary certificate and tenancy contract etc.
