Portuguese passport holders enter the UAE visa-free for up to 90 days within any 180-day period. No fee, no advance application. Passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of entry. At Dubai International (DXB) or Abu Dhabi (AUH), you go to the smart gates (available for EU passport holders) or the standard immigration counter and receive an entry stamp. Processing takes minutes.
The 90-day visa-free stay replaced the older 30-day scheme in 2023 for EU nationals. No return ticket is formally required, but airlines may check before boarding. For stays beyond 90 days, you need a residence visa sponsored by an employer or through the freelancer/investor visa programs. The UAE has no income tax, which makes it attractive for Portuguese remote workers and entrepreneurs.
