Visa
UAE entry rules depend on nationality: many passport holders get 30-day visit eligibility on arrival with no advance visa arrangements, while others must apply for a tourist or visit visa electronically through UAE government portals. Confirm your nationality against official UAE sources before booking travel.

Applications can be submitted electronically via UAE government portals. ICP guidance lists a passport valid for at least 6 months, valid UAE health insurance and a return travel ticket among visa issuance requirements.
