Rules during your stay, and getting back
| How long you can stay | Tourist visa permits 30-day stay |
|---|---|
| Visa validity | Tourist visa usable within 60 days of grant |
| Getting back into UAE | Your UAE residence visa must be valid on the day you fly back, so check your Emirates ID expiry before you book. Most residence visas can be cancelled after more than six months outside the UAE; you would then need a return permit through ICP or GDRFA Dubai. Golden Visa holders are treated differently. |
