Many also cite entry requirements due to national entry regulations, with the cases of CITIZEN OF PAKISTAN AND OTHER NATIONALS EXPLAINED HAVING TO BE ATTACHED SEPARATELY. Almost all tourists must pay the necessary fees and pledges to the host or a tourism-oriented establishment and/or a sponsoring family in the UAE to obtain an entry visa.
