Visa Requirements for Emirati Passports

The UAE passport is one of the two strongest in this comparison, edging out the US, UK, and Canada with visa-free or visa on arrival access to well over 90% of European destinations and around 60% of Asia, easily the best regional Asia coverage of any passport tracked here. Africa and the Americas are similarly strong, both comfortably ahead of what most Western passports achieve. It's a reminder that passport strength today doesn't map neatly onto older assumptions about which countries have the most open travel access.
