UK visa from Dubai: official fee and agency prices (November 2026)
The UK Standard Visitor visa fee is GBP 135 for up to 6 months; you apply online, then go to a visa application centre. 9 of the 17 Dubai agencies on our list that offer UK visa help publish a price for it in dirhams: AED 400 to AED 1,700, median AED 1,125, as read on 8 Nov 2026. Three of these prices include the GBP 135 fee, three are for the agency’s service only, and three don’t say.
The UK government sets the fee in pounds
GOV.UK gives the same fee wherever you apply. An agency’s price comes on top unless it says the price includes it.

What costs extra
- A faster decision. GOV.UK charges GBP 500 more for priority and GBP 1,000 more for super priority. Regal Tours adds AED 3,200 or AED 6,200 on top of its price; TAAL Tourism lists priority at about AED 580.
- File charges. Travel Saga Tourism adds file charges of about AED 180.
- Insurance. TAAL Tourism lists travel insurance as a separate item.
- Two prices on one site. TAAL Tourism and Tabeer Tours show different prices on different parts of their sites; each row has a note.
How we collect prices
We read each agency’s own website and record the price it publishes for this visa, with the link and the date. We note what the page says the price includes; where it says nothing, we write “not stated”. Where an agency’s pages give two figures, we show the lower one with a note and list the others under “All prices on its site”. “from” means the page says “from”. A price the agency shows only after a choice in its own price picker, with nothing personal sent, counts as published; we mark it “price picker” and name the choice. We never add the official fee to an agency’s price or convert currencies: the official fee sits next to the prices instead. We refresh every 2 to 4 weeks and hide any price older than 45 days. We don’t sell visas.
