Dubai Visa and Entry Requirements
What to check before you travel to Dubai, and how we help with the paperwork.
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
