Dear questioner,

For UK citizens, you generally do NOT need to apply for an entry permit in advance to visit the UAE, even if you've been out of the country for a long time.

The UAE has a visa-on-arrival facility for UK citizens. As a UK passport holder, you are eligible for a free multiple-entry 90-day visit visa that is valid for 6 months from the date of issue, and for a total stay of 90 days within that 180-day period.
