Check before you travel

u.ae and ICP pages with the 30 day / 90 day split returned 404 or were blocked; the split is from Khaleej Times (27 June 2026) citing ICP, cross checked against the official MOFA visa exemptions page (which shows only Visa Free / Visa Required, no durations).
Macao (MO), Moldova (MD) and North Macedonia (MK) are 'Visa Required' on the MOFA page but listed as visa free (30/90 days) in June 2026 news lists; kept as visa required (OTHERS). Mexico is the reverse (MOFA visa free, missing from news list); kept visa free 90 days.
Which nationalities in the 90 day group were moved from 30 to 90 days in 2024 (AU, BR, CA, CN, JP, SG, GB, US) is from news reports, not an official page.
Pre arranged visit visa fees differ between ICP and GDRFA and by sponsor; only the GDRFA AED 200 issuance fee was seen on an official page.
The ICP service page lists the 14 day visa total as AED 200 (100 + 100 smart fee); the MOFA news says AED 100. Both shown.
