Entry/Exit Requirements
"A passport is required. For stays of less than 60 days, U.S.
citizens holding valid passports may obtain visitor visas at the
port of entry for no fee. For a longer stay, a traveler must obtain
a visa before arrival in the UAE. In addition, an AIDS test is required
for work or residence permits; testing must be performed after arrival.
A U.S. AIDS test is not accepted. For further information, travelers
can contact the Embassy of the United Arab Emirates, 3522 International
Court, NW, Washington, DC 20037, telephone (202) 243-2400. See our
Fore ign Entry Requirements brochure for more information on the
United Arab Emirates and other countries. Visit the web site of
the UAE's Ministry of Information regarding tourism, business, and
residence in the UAE at http://www.uaeinteract.org.
Unlike other countries in the region that accept U.S. military ID
cards as valid travel documents, the UAE requires U.S. military
personnel to present a valid passport for entry/exit.
UAE authorities will confiscate any weapons, weapon parts, ammunition,
body armor, handcuffs, and/or other military/police equipment transported
to or through a civilian airport. Americans have been arrested and
jailed for transporting such weapons and equipment without the express
written authorization of the UAE government, even though airline
and U.S. authorities allowed shipment on a US-originating flight.
U.S. citizens and citizens of other countries that are not members
of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), who depart the UAE via land
are required to pay a departure fee. This fee is 20 UAE dirhams
and is payable only in the local UAE dirham currency." - US
