Official sources: - [Publications Office of the European Union: Consolidated Regulation (EU) 2018/1806](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/ALL/?uri=CELEX%3A02018R1806-20251230) - [Official Journal of the European Union: EU–United Arab Emirates short-stay visa waiver agreement](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A22015A0521%2801%29) - **Current official route — United Arab Emirates citizenship** (Citizenship) A UAE ordinary passport belongs to a UAE citizen and is outside the foreign visitor-visa schedule. - Does not decide a dual national’s document choice, residence, departure, work, military-service, or case-specific border treatment. Official source: - [The Official Platform of the UAE Government: Check if you need a visa to enter the UAE](https://u.ae/en/information-and-services/visa-and-emirates-id/do-you-need-an-entry-permit-or-a-visa-to-enter-the-uae) - **Current official route — GCC citizens: visa-free entry** (Visa-free) UAE Government guidance expressly says GCC citizens do not need a visa to enter the UAE. - The traveller must produce a GCC-country passport or national ID card at entry. This is a citizen rule, not a GCC-resident rule. - The separate GCC-resident electronic visa applies to qualifying residents and companions and does not alter this GCC-citizen exemption. - The reviewed sources do not establish work, residence, transit requiring entry, diplomatic, official, service, emergency, refugee, or other special-document treatment. Official sources: - [The Official Platform of the UAE Government: Check if you need a visa to enter the UAE](https://u.ae/en/information-and-services/visa-and-emirates-id/do-you-need-an-entry-permit-or-a-visa-to-enter-the-uae) - [The Official Platform of the UAE Government: eVisa for GCC residents](https://u.ae/en/information-and-services/visa-and-emirates-id/visit-visas/evisa-for-gcc-residents) - **Current official route — MOFA schedule: named visa-free ordinary passport entries** (Visa-free) The current MOFA non-citizen schedule marks these named nationality entries Visa Free. - This maps the schedule country/passport entries only. It does not establish a common duration, entry count, extension, employment right, residence right, or special-document rule. - UAE Government guidance says passports must be valid for at least six months from entry and that arrival eligibility may change; admission remains subject to border and security decisions. - Hong Kong is limited to the schedule named Hong Kong SAR entry; it does not establish PRC, Macao, Taiwan, travel-document, British National (Overseas), or another special passport treatment. Kosovo and Vatican likewise represent only their named ordinary-country entries. - Do not re-label an optional sponsor, airline, hotel, agency, residence-conditioned, transit, or other purpose-specific route as the nationality-wide default. Official sources: - [Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Visa Exemptions for Non-Citizens](https://www.mofa.gov.ae/en/Visa-Exemptions-For-Non-Citizen) - [The Official Platform of the UAE Government: Check if you need a visa to enter the UAE](https://u.ae/en/information-and-services/visa-and-emirates-id/do-you-need-an-entry-permit-or-a-visa-to-enter-the-uae) - [The Official Platform of the UAE Government: Tourist visa](https://u.ae/en/information-and-services/visa-and-emirates-id/tourist-visa) - **Current official route — MOFA named ordinary passports: advance electronic tourist visa** (eVisa) MOFA marks these nationalities Visa Required rather than Visa Free. The UAE’s all-nationalities self-sponsored five-year tourist visa is applied for and issued electronically, so the nationality-wide least-onerous advance route is normalized as evisa. - MOFA's Visa Required label establishes that no visa-free nationality default applies. UAE Government guidance makes a self-sponsored five-year tourist visa available to all nationalities, and ICP states that the visa is received by email and downloadable electronically; this supports evisa, not visa_on_arrival or traditional visa_required, under the project taxonomy. - The five-year route has material eligibility conditions, including the stated funds, UAE-valid health insurance and onward/return ticket. Approval and border admission remain discretionary; it does not establish a no-document or no-fee route. - The ICP 25 June 2026 announcement creates a separate residence-conditioned 14- or 60-day entry-visa option for India, Indonesia, Viet Nam, Thailand, the Philippines, Kenya, and South Africa. It does not replace the nationality-wide electronic tourist-visa route. - For that conditional route, the qualifying residence permit must be from the US, an EU Member State, UK, Singapore, Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand or Canada; accompanying family members must meet the stated nationality and relationship conditions. - No conclusion is drawn about residence, work, study, transit, diplomatic, official, service, emergency, refugee, stateless, travel-document, or other special-document routes.
