Recently, the UAE adjusted its visa-free policy for Chinese citizens. Chinese citizens holding ordinary passports valid for more than six months can enter the UAE visa-free, with a total stay of no more than 90 days in every 180 days. 180 days from the date of first entry, continuous or intermittent stay of 90 days or more, should leave the UAE at the end of the period, 180 days after the date of first entry may return. If you stay more than 90 days within 180 days, you will be fined AED 50 per day for the extra days.

Chinese embassies and consulates in the UAE remind Chinese citizens to pay attention to relevant policy adjustments, make reasonable travel arrangements and abide by local laws, regulations and customs.

In case of emergency, please promptly report to the police and contact the Embassy or consulate in the UAE.
