What is the change? United Arab Emirates authorities have announced that Russian nationals are now permitted to travel to the UAE without first obtaining a visa.
What does the change mean? Russian nationals may now travel to the UAE for business or tourism purposes and obtain a visa on arrival that is valid for up to 30 days.
Background: Under the new process, Russian nationals will be allowed to remain in the UAE for up to 30 days on a visa on arrival. Those who intend to stay longer than 30 days may obtain an extension for a charge. Additional information is available the website for the UAE embassy in Russia.
