Dubai is one of the seven emirates that make up the United Arab Emirates. It is the most populated and the fastest- growing city in the region. Tourism is an important part of Dubai's economy, and approximately 6.5 million people visit the city annually. Because of this, acquiring a tourist visa for Dubai and the United Arab Emirates is a rather simple process. Tourist visas are only required for stays longer than 14 days and no more than 30 days. For stays less than 14 days, an entry service permit will be granted.
