Where Can Indians with UAE Residency Travel Visa-Free or VoA?

Indian passport holders living in the UAE have access to several countries that offer visa-free entry, visa on arrival (VoA), or simplified eVisa processes. Some destinations provide these benefits specifically to UAE residents, while others offer easier access if you hold valid visas or residence permits from countries like the US, UK, Schengen zone, or Japan.

We’ve created a comprehensive and updated list (as of December 2025) showing where Indian citizens with UAE residency can travel more easily. It outlines the type of entry available, duration of stay, and any conditions based on UAE residency or other visa holdings.
Visa policies are constantly evolving. Always double-check the latest requirements with the official embassy or immigration website of the destination country before making any travel plans.

If you’re unsure about the current visa rules or want to check requirements for a different nationality, the IATA Travel Centre is a handy website to look up visa eligibility and entry conditions for any passport.

Tip: Even with visa-free or VoA access, entry is always at the discretion of border officials. Carry supporting documents such as return tickets, accommodation bookings, and proof of financial means where applicable.
