As of recent regulations in Dubai, a 3-month (90-day) tourist visa is not extendable beyond its original duration. If a person holding a 3-month visa wishes to stay longer, they would need to exit the UAE and apply for a new visa to re-enter the country. This can be done through visa change options, such as visa change by air or a visa run to a nearby country.

However, other types of shorter tourist visas (like 30-day or 60-day visas) may be extendable for an additional 30 days 2 times without the need to leave the country.

Key Points:

• The 90-day tourist visa is not extendable from within the UAE.
• Travelers must exit and reapply for a new visa if they wish to stay longer.
• Other tourist visas (like 30-day or 60-day) may be extendable once or twice, each time for 30 days.

Note:
It is always advisable to check the latest visa regulations and options through official channels such as the GDRFA or a travel agency before planning an extended stay.
