Visa requirements for Emirati citizens

, ,



Visa requirements for UAE citizens are administrative entry restrictions by the authorities of other states placed on citizens of the United Arab Emirates. Emirati citizens do not need a visa to enter other member states of the GCC. They also have the right to take up jobs in those countries. Similarly, citizens of other GCC states do not need a visa to enter UAE. In February 2016, Emirati citizens had visa-free or visa on arrival access to 122 countries and territories, ranking the Emirati passport 38th in the world according to the Visa Restrictions Index.[1] The Emirati passport had the most improved rating in the 2006-2016 time period.
