Emirati passport

Where can you go on a United Arab Emirates passport?

Visa rules, fees, and stay limits for every destination — sourced from official government data, with a direct link to each country's portal.

The UAE passport has risen rapidly in global mobility rankings over the past decade, offering visa-free or eTA-only access to over 180 countries. Emirati citizens enter the European Union (Schengen — 90 days, with ETIAS from 2026), the UK (ETA), and most of Asia, Latin America, and Africa visa-free. UAE passport holders benefit from GCC reciprocity for free residence and work across Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, and Oman. Long-stay options outside the GCC commonly use embassy-issued visas with bilateral fee waivers.

About travel from United Arab Emirates

Visa requirements for United Arab Emirates passport holders vary by destination, purpose, and policies that change without notice. We pull from official government sources where possible — embassy and ministry-of-foreign-affairs pages — and surface the date we last verified each requirement, plus a direct link to the primary source on every answer.

For each destination, you'll find tourist, business, transit, work, study, partner/family and diplomatic visa routes (where applicable). Each shows the visa type, maximum stay, typical cost, processing time, and the official application URL.

Important: a valid visa permits entry subject to officer discretion at the border. Always verify with the destination's embassy or consulate before booking travel, accepting employment, or making relocation plans — particularly for long-stay routes (work, study, family) where the consequences of incorrect information are severe.
