arrival in the UAE. It is not necessary for
travelers to apply for a UAE visa before the
arrival.

the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) countries

travelers from all remaining countries have to

Online visa (e-visa) is available, as a result,
it is easier to obtain. Note Sometimes the UAE
issued visas are called by the people according
to the issuing place. i.e, a visa issued in
Dubai is called Dubai visa, one issued in Abu
Dhabi is called Abu Dhabi visa, etc. However,
these are all the same type and are valid
throughout the UAE regardless of the place of
