UAE Extends Stay for Select Visa-on-Arrival Nationals

17 October 2024 - In a recent policy change, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) government has extended the visa-on-arrival stay for citizens of specific countries. Individuals from Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Japan, Singapore, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America can now stay for up to 90 days within a 180-day period, a significant extension from the previous 30-day limit for most of these countries.

Deloitte’s view

We recommend that visa holders and potential visitors stay informed about further clarifications or updates from the UAE government. Deloitte will continue to monitor the situation and provide timely updates to ensure our clients are well-informed and can plan their travels accordingly.
