Travelling from Mexico to the UAE
Because Mexican passport holders get a 180-day multiple-entry visit visa on arrival, there is nothing to arrange before flying — your visa process happens at the immigration counter. Make sure your passport meets the 6-month validity rule and keep proof of onward travel handy, as airlines occasionally ask for it at check-in.
Planning to stay longer than the standard allowance? See the 60-day tourist visa or the 5-year multiple-entry visa.
