The UAE visa fee exemption for young tourists is back, with children and teens under the age of 18 to get free visas this summer season. The visa-fee waiver runs from July 15 until September 15. The yearly initiative is designed to attract more families to the UAE during the summer holidays. The waiver applies to children and teens who are accompanied by at least one parent. Officials believe this will significantly boost tourism and offer an affordable travel option for families looking to explore the UAE’s attractions. The UAE Cabinet has also exempted transit tourists from paying visa fees for the first 48 hours upon arrival in the emirates. ICA/Expat Media
