Visa requirements for Emirati citizens

rdf:langString Visa requirements for Emirati citizens

rdf:langString Visa requirements for Emirati citizens are administrative entry restrictions by the authorities of other states placed on citizens of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). As of 6 July 2021, Emirati citizens had visa-free or visa on arrival access to 175 countries and territories, ranking the Emirati passport 15th in terms of travel freedom according to the Henley Passport Index. All other passports from the 'Arab world' had a lower ranking in this respect as of 1 December 2018. The Emirati passport is one of five passports with the greatest ranking improvement in the 2006-2016 time period. Emirati citizens do not need a visa to enter other Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries and also have the right to work in those countries. Similarly, citizens of other GCC states do not need a visa to enter the UAE. GCC citizens can use a GCC national identity card (rather than a passport) to enter the UAE.
