What is a visa for the Middle East?

Generally speaking, a visa is nothing more than an authorization from a foreign country for the entry of people from other places in the world. In this sense, each nation has different requirements regarding immigration.

In the case of the Middle East, the entry visa depends on each country, as well as the agreement made with Brazil. That is, there are some countries where Brazilian tourists can come and go freely, just by presenting their passport.

Meanwhile, some Middle Eastern countries require you to pay a fee upon disembarking at the airport to go through immigration. In other words, it is important to prepare in advance to avoid setbacks.

However, whether it's a specific visa or just an entry fee, one thing is certain, have a valid passport ready to travel! This means that it needs to be valid for at least 6 months after the date of shipment, is that ok?
