Honest, up-to-date guide for 2026. No travel-blog cliches, no easy promises.
Do I need a visa?
No visa required. Brazilian passport holders receive a visa-on-arrival waiver of up to 90 days within any 180-day period. The entry stamp is issued at the airport at no charge.
Brazil and the UAE have a visa-exemption agreement. You land in Dubai or Abu Dhabi and receive a stay authorization of up to 90 days.
The 90-day clock runs inside a 180-day rolling window. One extension is possible under current policy, subject to a fee.
Working, residing, or studying requires a residence visa sponsored by an employer or institution.
This page covers UAE entry for Brazilian passport holders, based on ICP regulations.
For tourism, it is one of the most straightforward destinations: no advance visa application needed.

Travel insurance

Technically no. Practically yes.
Not mandatory for tourism, but private hospitals in Dubai are expensive for foreigners.
Emergency treatment without coverage can run into thousands of dirhams.
