Visa requirements for Emirati citizens are administrative entry restrictions by the authorities of other states placed on citizens of the United Arab Emirates.
As of 2025, Emirati citizens had visa-free or visa on arrival access to 185 countries and territories, ranking the Emirati passport 10th in the world according to the Henley Passport Index.[1]
The Emirati passport is one of five passports with the greatest ranking improvement in the 2006–2016 time period.[2]
Emirati citizens do not need a visa to enter other Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries and also have the right to work and reside 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 United Arab Emirates.
