Chinese passport holders get visa-free entry to the UAE for stays up to 30 days. Passport must be valid for at least 6 months. This visa-free arrangement started in January 2018. You receive a free entry stamp at immigration with no advance application needed.

For work or long-term stays, your UAE sponsor or employer must arrange the visa. Each emirate handles immigration separately, but the visa-free entry works at all UAE airports.

Dubai Climate

Desert climate, hot, dry, and sunny virtually year-round. Summers (June–September) are extreme: 38–48°C with high humidity near the coast. Heat stress slows ground operations but rarely causes weather cancellations. Winter (December–February) is DXB's peak season at 18–28°C with minimal rain and near-constant sunshine.

Occasional sandstorms (haboob) reduce visibility sharply and can ground flights for hours, most likely in spring (April–May) and summer. Light rain falls in winter and can cause road flooding on Dubai's drainage-limited road network. A light jacket is sufficient for winter evenings.
