UAE and Japan to launch visa-free travel on November 1

UAE citizens with ordinary passports do not need a visa to travel to Japan, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation. Starting from 1st November, 2022, UAE passport holders can stay in Japan for up to 30 days for tourism or work. This is without submitting an application at the Embassy of Japan in Abu Dhabi, applying for an exemption, or paying any fees.
