Russian nationals may enter the UAE without obtaining a visa in advance and stay for up to 90 days. Travellers need a valid passport; children must have their own passports, while additional documents and medical insurance apply in certain cases.
According to the source, the basic short-term entry route for Russian nationals remains visa-free and allows a stay of up to 90 days. For people planning a relocation, this provides a way to enter and arrange a longer-term status, but it does not itself replace a residence visa. Families should check children’s travel documents separately, since a child listed in a parent’s passport does not meet the stated requirement. The rule is most relevant to people planning an initial arrival or a temporary stay before obtaining long-term status.
