Dubai visa regulations are constantly changing. Good sources of accurate and reliable visa information include Emirates and IATA.
A reliable website for Dubai visa information is that of Emirates. This is almost certainly because they are a UAE-based airline and visa sponsor. Consequently they are processing a large number of visas for their passengers and need the correct information on their website.
Emirates have the following information on their site:
- Overview of the UAE visa rules
- Visa requirements tool – enter nationality and check if a UAE visa is required
IATA (International Air Transport Association) is a trade association of the world’s airlines. Members include UAE airlines such as Emirates, Etihad, Air Arabia, and flydubai.
These airlines use the IATA database when verifying visa information.

Venezuelan passport is not being renewed due to the political situation. Thousands of Venezuelans have expired passport or a 2 years extension passport. The United States have published and admits expired passport for up to 5 years and many other countries are accepting Venezuelan expired or extended passport. I am a resident of UAE for the past 13 years and this is happening to me. My passport have expired and I have an extension for 2 years. If I leave UAE I won’t be able to come back as extended passports are not being accepted in the UAE. That means I have to stay in the country without being able to leave and come back. Please update your rules and make exceptions to Venezuelan expired or extended passports to visit the country. Thanks you!
