According to Yousuf Lootah, Executive Director of Tourism Development and Investments at Dubai Tourism, the payment is made to the GDRFA.
He clarified that this does not include the cost of health insurance, which applicants will need to purchase separately.

The visa is renewable every five years and its initial phase will focus on UAE residents working in Dubai who have reached retirement age.
