Visa & Entry

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.

The 30-day stay can be extended once for an additional 30 days at the Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship offices. The extension fee is AED 600 (about CNY 1,200). 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.

Abu Dhabi Climate

Hyper-arid desert climate on the Arabian Gulf coast. Summers (June–September) are extreme at 38–47°C with very high humidity. Outdoor exposure is extreme in July and August. Ground handling and ramp operations are affected by heat protocols. Haboob (sandstorm) events reduce visibility and may cause ground stops.

Winter (December–February) is the peak travel season at 18–27°C with clear skies and minimal disruption risk. The airport almost never sees rain. When rain does occur (typically December–February), local drainage infrastructure can briefly flood access roads. Overall, AUH is one of the most operationally consistent major hubs globally.
