Some passports receive a UAE visa-on-arrival arrangement allowing up to 90 days in a 180-day period.
The rule
Confirm how the period is anchored for your passport: official travel guidance for some nationalities starts the period on the first entry date. This counter shows a total of recorded days within the previous 180 days and cannot replace that admission-specific calculation.
The linked UK government guidance describes the arrangement for British citizen passports. Confirm the permission for your own nationality with the UAE authorities.
Counting the days
The counter includes recorded arrival and departure dates in the United Arab Emirates within the latest 180 days. Some passport-specific rules instead use a 180-day period beginning on the first entry date. Check the dates applicable to your admission.
- Choose the date through which you want to count, then add your recorded visits.
- Use the counting convention above. Overlapping recorded dates in the relevant region are counted only once.
- Read the result alongside the conditions. Missing records and other eligibility requirements are not inferred from a total.
Examples
These examples demonstrate the counter's arithmetic, using a count-through date of 30 October 2026. They do not determine legal status or eligibility.

Common misconceptions

“A new calendar year resets this counter.”
This is a rolling window. Dates leave the window as time moves forward.
