British passport holders get a free visa on arrival at every UAE entry point, valid for a total of 90 days within any 180-day period (extended from 30 days in November 2024) and good across all seven emirates.

Overstaying is fined per day, so track the window rather than assuming a fresh 90 days on re-entry.
