Do Saudi citizens need a UAE visa?

Requirements for the UAE visa for Saudi residents
According to Dubai's GDRFA:
- A valid GCC residence permit with at least one year of validity.
- A passport valid for at least 6 months.
- The profession on your iqama must be on the approved list.
- No entry restrictions.
The profession rule surprises many: same nationality and iqama, but a different profession can mean approval or refusal. We check it before you pay.
