Under the updated regulations, nationals from 110 countries are now required to obtain a visa before they arrive in the UAE.

For those interested in understanding the specifics of this exemption and visa requirements, they can refer to the official website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or contact the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Ports Security, and Customs (ICP) for more information.

It’s worth noting that citizens of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries are exempt from visa requirements or sponsorship when visiting the UAE. They can enter by presenting a passport issued by a GCC state or an identity card upon arrival at UAE ports of entry.

For example, citizens of India who hold ordinary passports, a visit visa, or a permanent resident card issued by the USA, or who have a residence visa in the UK and European Union countries valid for at least six months, are eligible for a visa on arrival. This visa allows a stay of 14 days, with the option to extend it for an additional 14 days.
