About eSIMs for United Arab Emirates

Do I need a visa for Dubai?

Many passports, including British, American, Canadian, Australian, Japanese, Korean and most EU ones, get a free visa on arrival with no application in advance. British citizens can stay up to 90 days in a 180-day period. Check the rules for your passport before you book.

Does one plan cover Dubai and Abu Dhabi?

Yes. Plans cover the whole country, all seven emirates.

Which operators will my phone use in United Arab Emirates?

du. These plans use only this network in United Arab Emirates.

Where in United Arab Emirates can I use it?

Anywhere the plan’s networks have signal, including Dubai, Abu Dhabi; rural and mountain areas depend on local coverage.

Is 5G supported?

Yes. Operators here are listed with 5G; each plan's networks show which.

What happens when the data runs out?

It depends on the plan: some keep a usable speed of 1 Mbps; others drop to 128 Kbps / 500 Kbps / 512 Kbps, which is enough for messaging; others stop data.

When does the validity start?

It starts when the eSIM first connects to a network. You can install it before you go.

Can I use a hotspot to share data in United Arab Emirates?

Can I install the same eSIM on a second phone?

No. Each QR code installs once. If you delete the eSIM or reset the phone, it can't be installed again, and once it has connected to a network it can't be refunded.

Can I top up data or extend validity?

Some plans add data, some add days, and some can't be topped up; each plan says which. Top up from the eSIM in My eSIMs. There's nothing new to install.
