The UAE will not charge 34 nationalities for an entry visa and the free entry permit on arrival will remain unchanged, a senior interior ministry official said on Thursday.

The 34 countries include the UK, US, Australia, Japan and Brunei and Singapore.

However, the official said the fee will be imposed once a mechanism to collect the visa charges is implemented. He did not specify a date.

As per an earlier announcement, the 34 nationalities that earlier got a free visit visa for 60days upon arrival would have had to pay Dh100 for a 30-day visa.
