I am a UK national, living in Saudi. My wife is a Philippine national. We both have Saudi Iqamas (Residence permits). I know I don't need a visa to visit UAE, but can my wife obtain hers on arrival at Dubai airport or Abu Dhabi airport, or does she need to get one in advance of travelling?
Thanks, James
Can my Philippine wife, with Saudi residence, get a tourist visa?

Yup... if shes accompanying you and you have the paperwork to prove shes your wife, you should be ok.
saying that though, its always better to call and ask the uae embassy in saudi for advice. The rules change on a virtual daily basis.
