Visa-free countries for UAE residents

Why other lists give different numbers

We count 75 visa-free countries and, separately, 21 that give a visa on arrival, each confirmed by the destination's own government. A visa on arrival is still a visa, so we never add it to the visa-free count. Lists with a higher number may also count visas on arrival and online travel authorisations as visa-free, include territories that are not countries, or keep rules that have since changed.

How we check these rules

For each destination we read its government's own rules: the foreign or interior ministry, the immigration service or the official eVisa portal, and for the Schengen area EU Regulation 2018/1806. Every row links that source, with the date we checked it. Rules change, so confirm on the official site before you book.
