Travel and Visa Requirements
Visa
Tourist visas are available on arrival in the UAE at approved ports of entry, including all airports and ports, for citizens of the majority of developed countries.
These include all Western European countries (except Malta and Cyprus), USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei and South Korea.
Tourist visas are valid for 60 days despite the fact that the stamp on your passport, which is in Arabic, says it is valid for 30 days. No fee is charged for tourist visas.
