The Power & Benefits of Holding a UAE Passport: Learn More

The importance attached to having a UAE passport has continued to increase in the past year, according to the annual Henley & Partners Visa Restrictions Index.
The index, which gives an insight into the development of visa policies over the past year and decade, said the UAE rose two places to 38th globally after soaring 15 places the previous year.
The 11th edition of the Visa Restrictions Index said that the UAE passport retained its title of the most powerful passport to own in the Middle East and North Africa.It said the UAE led the MENA region with visa-free access to 122 countries. This increase follows last year’s agreement with the EU which gave the UAE visa-free travel to 36 countries, including the 26 Schengen area states, making the UAE the first Arab country to be granted a European visa waiver.
