UAE Increases Duration for Visas-on-Arrival

The UAE has announced that several nationals who previously had 30-day visa-on-arrival allowances will now be granted stays of up to 90 days. This applies to citizens of Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Japan, Singapore, the UK, and the US, making travel more convenient for both tourists and business travelers. Notably, Brazilian nationals were already entitled to 90 days.

The longer visa-on-arrival durations reflect the UAE's aim to encourage more extended visits and enhance tourism and business opportunities. This policy change is expected to streamline entry processes, offering flexibility for those seeking to stay for extended periods without needing to apply for traditional visas.

However, it is still unclear whether the 90-day duration is granted for a single entry or can be utilized multiple times within a specified period. Additional updates and clarifications on this aspect are expected from UAE authorities.

This new rule aligns with the UAE's ongoing efforts to make the country an accessible and appealing destination, particularly for visitors from key global markets. For further updates, travelers are advised to monitor changes in the country’s visa-on-arrival policies.
