Everything digital nomads need to know about visas, entry requirements, and long-stay options for UAE.
US passport holders can enter UAE with a visa free for up to 30 days.
As a visa-free entry, you can arrive at any international airport in UAE and receive your entry stamp at immigration. No pre-approval or application is needed.
UAE does not currently offer a dedicated digital nomad visa. However, you can still work remotely on a tourist visa (while technically a gray area in many countries). Consider these alternatives:
Technically, tourist visas are for tourism, not work. However, many digital nomads work remotely on tourist visas since they are not employed by a local company or earning local income. The enforcement varies by country. Check UAE's specific policies.
On a visa free, US passport holders can stay up to 30 days. Extensions may be available at local immigration offices.
Tax obligations depend on your duration of stay, visa type, and home country tax treaties. Generally, if you stay less than 183 days and are not employed locally, you are unlikely to owe local taxes. However, consult a tax professional for your specific situation.
