    Sorry, I'm back.. I might be being blind or silly but I still can't see where to apply for a tourist visa? The link on that page for e-visas https://smart.gdrfad.gov.ae/HomePage.aspx only seems to let you apply for an entry permit, which I think is different to a tourist visa and requires a sponsor, etc. Also seems to be more for people who have already booked an Emirates fight. I'm trying to get a 30-day visa for someone who lives in the UK but a different nationality that requries a visa.
    If you go to the Entry Permit then select Visit Visa it then gives you a list of options which includes Tourist Visa multi entry and 5 year Tourist Visa Muti-Entry

    It's just a 30-day tourist single entry visa, but it's complicated because they've got a Nepalese passport.I think I'm going to have to go down the third-party route and pay some money for it. I appreciate people looking into it for me though, thanks!

    Emirates (the airline) is one of those few organisations that answers the telephone. I suggest that you call them and seek assistance with the visa. The application should be sponsored either by the airline or hotel where the visitor is staying.
