Does the UAE have a visa on arrival?

Visa on arrival is also a way to apply for visas. Many countries have opened visas on arrival to applicants and allowed applicants to apply directly at the airport. Has the UAE opened visas on arrival to China?

Starting from November 1, 2016, the UAE will open a free landing visa policy for China.

On December 19, 2017, China and the United Arab Emirates once again revised the "China-Arab Memorandum of Understanding on Mutual Exemption of Visas for Persons Holding Diplomatic Passports" by exchanging notes, and the free visa-on-arrival policy for China was adjusted to a mutual visa-free policy.

Although the UAE has opened a free visa-on-arrival policy to China, applicants still need to prepare the materials and submit them locally. The visa-on-arrival materials required by the UAE are very simple and only need a valid passport of more than 6 months.

Foreign nationals of the following countries and regions can apply for a 30-day visa on arrival when the plane lands in the UAE:

Andorra, Australia, Brunei, Canada, Vatican City, China, Hong Kong, Ireland, Japan, Malaysia, Chile, Monaco, Russia, San Marino, Seychelles, Singapore, Ukraine, Mauritius, Kazakhstan, New Zealand, United Kingdom, United States.
