Canadian Crusaders, Rejoice!
Fear not, eh? As a proud Canadian, you're in luck. Unlike some visa woes that leave you feeling like you're lost in the desert (minus the fancy resorts, of course), Canadians can snag a visa upon arrival in Dubai. That's right, skip the pre-application stress and waltzing through embassy foxtrots.
The Freebie Fiesta: 30 Days of Dubai Delight
For stays under 30 days, this visa is like the sprinkle on top of your metaphorical Arabic coffee - absolutely free! Just strut your stuff (and maybe your passport) to immigration, and they'll issue you a visa that lets you loose in Dubai for a month. Think sunshine, spices, and enough selfies to make your Instagram jealous.
Tip: Don’t skip — flow matters.
But Wait, There's More!
Feeling the need for a longer Dubai detente? No problem! You can extend your visa for an additional 10 days for a small fee. Think of it as a VIP pass to extend your beach bummin' and baklava binging.
Passport Pointers: The Fine Print
QuickTip: Read a little, pause, then continue.
Now, before you high-five a camel (probably not the best idea), there are a few things to keep in mind:
- Passport Power: Make sure your Canadian passport has at least 6 months validity from your arrival date in Dubai. Nobody likes a passport party pooper.
- Onward Journey: They might ask to see proof of your onward travel (like a return flight ticket). Basically, Dubai doesn't want you to become a permanent resident...unless you win the lottery, then maybe they'd chat.
