Plan your trip
Check the visa before you book
UAE visit visa rules depend on your passport. This is not a government visa office. Confirm official UAE requirements before you travel.
Check whether you need a visa, prepare a valid passport, photo, and travel details, and apply early. December is a busy month.
Who needs a visa, what it costs, and how long it takes are set by the UAE authorities. Those details are not listed here, because they change and they depend on the passport you hold. Start with the official pages, then come back for flights and hotels.

This site does not submit a visa application, and it does not quote fees, processing times, or a rule for any nationality. Read the official portal, then follow the channel it names for your passport.
Those dates are a trip sketch for GITEX week, not a visa condition. GITEX GLOBAL runs 7 to 11 December 2026. If you are attending the 7 December summit, arriving on 6 December leaves more margin.
