Brazil to United Arab Emirates visa requirements

No visa needed for short visits. Brazilian ordinary passport holders enter the UAE visa-free for up to 90 days in each 12-month period under the Brazil-UAE reciprocal visa-waiver agreement. Brazilian citizens holding an ordinary passport do not need to arrange a visa before visiting the United Arab Emirates for tourism, transit or short business visits. The UAE Embassy in Brasilia states that the Brazil-UAE visa-waiver agreement has been in effect since July 2018 and that ordinary, official and diplomatic Brazilian passport holders do not need a visa for 90 days every 12 months. Brazil's Ministry of Tourism describes the same agreement as covering business and tourism visits for up to 90 days in each 12-month period, while Emirates' current UAE visa page also places Brazil in the 90-day visit eligibility group. No visa fee or pre-travel eVisa application is required for the ordinary passport waiver; the visit permission is handled at UAE immigration on arrival. Travelers should hold a passport valid for at least six months from the expected arrival date, a confirmed return or onward ticket, accommodation or host details, and funds evidence in case the airline or border officer asks. Do not work, study or reside on the visa-free visit; arrange the appropriate UAE visa or status before travel or before exceeding the 90-day allowance. UAE ICP lists an AED 50 per-day fine after the applicable grace period if the permitted stay expires.
