Jersey residents holding a full British citizen passport qualify for the free Dubai Visa on arrival for British citizens, including when the passport was issued in Jersey. No advance tourist visa application is needed.
Important note: Your passport must remain valid for at least six months from arrival in the UAE. The arrival allowance covers a cumulative stay across visits, and entry remains subject to UAE immigration approval.
If you use another nationality’s passport or a different type of travel document, confirm the UAE entry requirements for that document.
When to arrange a Dubai Visit Visa for Jersey residents
Some Jersey residents hold passports that require a prearranged visa. British citizens who have fully used their arrival allowance can also ask about prearranged entry for a later visit, subject to eligibility and approval.
