Travellers holding ordinary Italian passports can visit Dubai as tourists without an advance visa application, within their permitted arrival allowance. The Dubai Visa on arrival for Italians is issued free at immigration.
Important note: Travel with an undamaged passport valid for at least six months from arrival in the UAE. The arrival permission has a cumulative stay limit across visits, and border officers make the final entry decision.
Planning a Dubai Visit Visa from Italy
When arranging a Dubai Visa from Italy, check the nationality on each traveller’s passport. Residents holding a non-Italian passport follow the rules for that nationality. This distinction applies whether you depart from Rome, Milan, Bologna or Venice.
Italian travellers who have fully used their arrival allowance can enquire about a prearranged visa for a subsequent trip, subject to eligibility and approval.
Dubai Visa fees for Italian citizens
Dubai Visits Visa offers 30-day Dubai Visit Visa and 60-day Dubai Visit Visa packages, with single- and multiple-entry options for eligible applicants. For a paid application, review an itemised quote showing the government charge and our service charge before payment.
The permitted stay and the deadline to enter the UAE are separate details. Check both on your issued visa.
Dubai Visa requirements for Italian citizens
Italian children under 14 travelling without a parent or legal guardian need accompaniment authorisation, endorsed in their passport or an officially validated declaration. Arrange this Italian travel formality before departure.
For a prearranged tourist application, prepare a passport bio-page scan, recent colour photograph, return-travel details and hotel or host details. Medical insurance valid in the UAE is also required.

Follow our guide on how to apply for a Dubai Visit Visa. Enter passport nationality and departure country separately, choose the appropriate option and upload the requested documents.
