Data checked August 29, 2026.

## Citizenship compatibility notes

- **Set 1 — United Arab Emirates:** The UAE permits retention in its exceptional nomination framework, but nationality is not an ordinary application route. The UAE's 2021 framework allows naturalised people in specified exceptional categories to retain their original nationality, while limiting acquisition to government nomination through rulers' courts, executive councils, or the Cabinet.

These notices are informational and do not block the mobility calculation. Eligibility and nationality retention depend on personal facts and current law. [Review the citizenship compatibility guide](https://multipassrank.com/dual-citizenship-countries).
