UAE Emigration
Do I need a visa to go to Dubai?
You will need a visa to enter the UAE. However, the authorities have taken steps to make this a straightforward and hassle-free process. If you are a citizen of one the countries listed below, you will not be required to obtain a visa before your arrival at a UAE airport:
UK, France, Italy, Germany, Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Austria, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Portugal, Ireland, Greece, Finland, Spain, Monaco, Vatican City, Iceland, Andorra, San Marino, Liechtenstein, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Brunei, Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea and Hong Kong.
The issue of passport stamps is very contentious in the Middle East. Israeli nationals are not permitted to enter Dubai or the United Arab Emirates. Likewise, anyone with a passport recently stamped in Israel may also have trouble.
What are the types of visa?
Entry Service Permit - Entry Service Permits apply to the following categories and their families. Company manager representatives, sales managers, account auditors, delegates who carrying out commercial activity, consultants requested by UAE companies to deal with urgent matters. This visa is valid for use within 14 days from the date of issue. Unfortunately, this permit is not renewable.
Visit Visa - Visit Visas apply to tourists and businesspeople who wish to spend more than 14 days in UAE. This visa necessitates sponsorship of any UAE resident or any company or hotel licensed to operate within the UAE. A refundable AED 2,000 guarantee from expatriates who wish to sponsor family and/or friends is charged. This visa is valid for entry within two months from its date of issue. It is valid for 60 days and is renewable for up to 90 days (at a charge of AED 500).
Multiple Entry Visas - These are issued to businesspeople who have a working relationship with either a multinational or reputable local company, and who are familiar with visiting the territory. This visa is valid for six months from the date of issue and the duration of each stay is 30 days. It is not renewable and currently costs AED 1,000.
