Common Mistakes
Treating the Abu Dhabi maximum as a target: stretching a 180-day stamp to its final hour risks fines and future refusals, and extensions are never automatic. Plan the itinerary inside the shorter 180-day bracket whenever your dates allow it.
Confusing entry date with stay length at Abu Dhabi: the 180-180-day ranges here count from arrival, not from issue, and miscalculating that clock is how overstays begin. Count nights from your landing date, then subtract one safety day.
