It is recommended that visitors to Dubai or the United Arab Emirates obtain a tourist visa valid for a maximum of 14 days if they want to remain in the country for less than that amount of time.

There are a variety of prerequisites that must be met in order to receive a tourist visa for Dubai, and they vary from nation to country. Visitors from 33 countries like EU, USA and many others can apply for a visa upon arrival at Dubai International Airport. GCC nationals do not need a visa to enter Dubai. GCC residents who are not GCC nationals but who have high professional status, such as company managers, businesspeople, auditors, accountants, doctors, engineers, pharmacists, or employees working in the public sector, as well as their families, drivers, and personal sponsored by them, are eligible for a non-renewable 30-day visa when they arrive at the authorized ports of entry into the UAE. This visa also applies to GCC residents who are not GCC nationals but who have high professional status.
