Before you register
Yes, registration for the 2026 UN Water Conference is free of charge.
Registration includes a standard security clearance before approval, and that check is made against your passport. Enter your name and passport number exactly as they appear in the document. A mismatch is the most common cause of delay. The details are used for that clearance, for your badge and for venue access.
Visa requirements for the United Arab Emirates depend on your nationality: many nationalities can enter visa-free or receive a visa on arrival, while others must apply in advance. Check your position on the UAE's official government channels before booking travel, and see the conference visa explainer for guidance specific to the 2026 UN Water Conference.
Upon receipt of your application, The Oasis team at the 2026 UN Water Conference will reach out over email to update you on participation.
