Why this verdict
Ukrainian citizens enter the UAE (including Dubai) visa-free for tourism for up to 30 days, issued on arrival, with no limit on the number of trips per year; one ~30-day extension is possible for a fee. This is visa-free entry, NOT a paid e-visa. Travel insurance is required. Stays beyond the permitted period or non-tourism purposes need a different visa/residence permit. Confirm current rules with the official source before travel.
