Indeed, if your nationality grants no visa-free entry or visa-upon-arrival, acquiring a tourist/visit visa is a prerequisite to entering the UAE.
What types of visit visas can I apply for?
You may apply for a short-term visit visa (example: 30 days), a longer stay visa (example: 60 or 90 days), a single entry or a multiple-entry visa for tourism/visit purposes, and in case applicable, a visa-on-arrival for certain nationalities for a cost.
What documents are required for a UAE tourist visa?

How long must my passport be valid to apply?
