Hello ma'am ayyy... Incomplete info sorry for that.. She's planning to visit here on dubai for this coming big eid for vacation only.She's under the visa of her dad.

If she was coming with her father, they would get a visa on arrival (assuming her father is a professional), but alone is difficult.  She should go to a travel agency and they can get her a visa.  If she is going to stay with you, you will have to provide a letter to that effect, otherwise she will have to book and pay for a room in a hotel to get the visa.

Thank you for the info trapezius. I think the best idea is for her to apply in the agency less hassle. We heard also about the letter but its not clear. Thank u so much. I will tell this to her..

You are welcome.  For the letter, you can type it up and print it, basically saying that your friend will stay with you.  It should have full ID details of you and your friend, including phone numbers, residence addresses, passport numbers, residence card/iqama numbers.  It should also mention the exact dates.  You should also attach with it a copy of your Dubai iqama stamp from your passport, and as well as a copy of your passport picture page.  She should present all that at the travel agency, along with her passport, her father's iqama, and her iqama.
