United Arab Emirates

The largest emirate is Abu Dhabi and Dubai is considered the most modern emirate. Further, the federation of the United Emirates consists of: Ajman, Fujairah, Rasa l-Khaimah, Sharjah, Um mal-Quwain.

Abu Dhabi boasts over 200 islands, which are full of natural beauty. But there are also impressive mountains and exotic deserts nearby. Abu Dhabi is home to one of the largest mosques in the world. A popular destination for tourists is modern Dubai, which offers luxury shopping malls as well as traditional marketplaces and the famous Dubai Museum. The landmark of Dubai and the tallest building in the world is the Burj Khalifa, which offers panoramic views. The F1 circuit is built on the artificial Yas Island and also the Ferari Worls amusement park with the fastest roller coaster.

The Emirates are not only a shopping paradise, but they also offer clean sea with beautiful white beaches, excursions to the sun-soaked desert, fascinating nature with the magnificent Hajar Mountains and desert oases. Tourists can choose an adventurous ride on the sand dunes or adrenaline-pumping skiing on the sand.

You will need a valid passport to travel to the United Arab Emirates. This must be valid for at least 6 months after you return from the country and we recommend that you have at least one free double page.

The visa requirement with the United Arab Emirates was abolished in 2015, so you don't need a visa to visit the country. You can spend a maximum of 90 days here per entry for any period of 180 days.

Essential information

For travelers, the least restrictive visas are those that can be obtained directly upon entering the country - that is, at the border crossing or after landing at the airport. Such visas usually have no conditions.

Sometimes their issuance is subject to the payment of an administrative fee. These visas can be considered more like "entrance fees" or an additional source of income for local governments.

In the case of visas, which need to be arranged in advance at the relevant embassy, this is an incomparably more difficult matter. An applicant for a visa must visit the diplomatic mission of the relevant state in person or through an authorized representative, where he/she will apply for a visa. Since not all countries have their embassies in every country in the world, applicants often have to travel to neighboring countries for the sake of visas, or countries where a given country has a competent authority authorized to issue visas. Various conditions are often associated with obtaining a visa before entering the country.

Tourist visas usually require the presentation of a purchased travel ticket or accommodation reservation, or proof of sufficient financial security for the stay. A frequent requirement of a visa application is the so-called "invitation letter" (also "voucher"), which is a kind of justification for the trip and is issued by a local hotel, or a local tourist agency or host family. Tourist visas are issued for a limited period of time, usually up to 30 days. Tourist visas can entitle the holder to one or more entries/exits. Accordingly, we distinguish:

  • single entry visa
  • multiple entry visa
