The UAE grants visa-free entry or visa-on-arrival to many nationalities (GCC nationals enter freely; many others get 30-90 days). Check the official ICP/GDRFA requirements for your passport.
General guidance only — always confirm requirements with the official embassy/consulate for your nationality.
