Travellers visiting the UAE should verify passport validity, visa or entry eligibility, ticket details and hotel confirmation before airport day. Families should check every child passport separately and keep copies of key documents available during travel.
What this means for travellers
- Check official requirements close to departure.
- Allow extra time for airports, borders and document checks.
- Keep booking, insurance and passport details easy to access.
