United Arab Emirates (UAE) aims to generate over $123 billion through tourism by 2031. It has introduced several reforms in immigration policies, providing entry to foreigners in a simple way.
UAE Digital Government recently shared a list of around 70 countries that can get visa-on-arrival in the UAE. Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) nationals do not even require a visa. They only need to show their passports when entering the country.
UAE offers a range of visas-on-arrival, including those with 30, 90, and 180 days validity. Indians can also get a visa-on-arrival in UAE if they fulfill the specified criteria (mentioned below).

Working with a visit or tourist visa in the Emirates is not allowed. A person must get a work permit and an employment visa to work legally.
