How to Check Visa Requirements Before You Travel
Checking visa requirements is the first step in planning any international trip. Our tool above covers the most common passport and destination combinations for UAE residents. Select your passport nationality and where you want to go. You will see one of four results: visa free, visa on arrival, e-visa required, or full visa required.
Understanding the Four Visa Types
Visa Free means you can enter the country with just your valid passport. No application needed. Duration ranges from 15 days to one year depending on the bilateral agreement between countries.
Visa on Arrival means you get your visa stamped at the airport when you land. You may need to pay a fee and show proof of accommodation and return flights. This is common for UAE passport holders visiting countries like India, Egypt, and Jordan.
e-Visa means you apply online before travelling. The process is digital and usually takes 3 to 7 business days. Countries like Turkey, Kenya, and Australia offer e-visas for many nationalities.
Visa Required means you must visit the embassy or consulate in person. This typically takes 4 to 8 weeks. You will need supporting documents like bank statements, employment letters, hotel bookings, and sometimes a personal interview.
Tips for UAE Residents Travelling Abroad
Your visa requirements depend on your passport, not your UAE residence. A UAE resident holding an Indian passport follows Indian passport visa rules. However, holding a valid UAE residence visa can unlock visa on arrival benefits in some countries like Georgia and Armenia that would otherwise require a full application.
Always check that your passport has at least 6 months validity from your travel date. Most countries reject entry if your passport expires within 6 months. Keep digital copies of your passport, UAE visa, and travel insurance on your phone.
