Citizens and residents wishing to travel abroad are advised to contact the foreign mission of the destination country in the UAE to check about visa regulations, application procedures and related information.

Many countries have outsourced the task of accepting visa applications to a private company called VFS Global.

Visa for UAE citizens

UAE citizens can travel to several countries either visa-free or by getting a visa on arrival. 

Emiratis can check whether they are exempt from applying for visa or they need a visa prior to their travel or they can get it upon arrival.
