Entry requirements for Dubai

Entry rules depend on your passport. Visitors from many countries, including the USA, Canada and the UK, can usually enter visa-free or with a visa on arrival, while others need a visa arranged before travel. Always confirm the current rules for your passport before booking.

Documents travellers are commonly asked for

  • A passport valid for at least six months after your arrival date, with blank pages
  • A return or onward ticket
  • Proof of accommodation, such as a hotel booking
  • Proof of funds, in some cases
  • A yellow fever vaccination certificate if you arrive from or pass through certain countries
  • Travel insurance, which we strongly recommend

Please check before you book
