Dubai: More than 30 nationalities who are entitled to acquire a visa on arrival in the UAE will not have to pay the Dh100 (around $27) visa charges for the time being, said an interior ministry official.

As per the new residency rules, 34 nationalities who earlier got a free visit visa for 60 days upon arrival in the UAE will have to pay Dh100 for a 30-day visa.

The new fee will only be imposed once the mechanism to collect the visa charges are implemented, said the official.
