Type Pakistan or India according to your nationality in the two boxes provided on the first page of the website and click on Apply Emirates Visa.
On the next page you will see a table of types of the UAE visas and their prices. In which the price of the 30 days visit visa 146 usd is written first which includes the processing fee. It becomes 24 thousand five hundred rupees in Pakistani currency.
Similarly, the fee for a 90-day visit visa, including processing fee, is 376 US dollars, or 63,000 rupees in Pakistani currency. Thus the visa fee is relatively higher than the rate given by the travel agents. Click the type of visa you want to apply for and then click Proceed to Apply.
