UAE ordinary passport holders need a visa for Libya. UAE MoFA lists normal UAE passports as visa required, and Libya's official eVisa API shows UAE passports are not exempt but can apply online. A United Arab Emirates ordinary passport holder needs a visa before traveling to Libya. UAE MoFA lists all UAE passport types, including normal passports, as Visa Required for Libya and warns UAE nationals against traveling to Libya at present. Libya's official eVisa data supports the online route: the countries endpoint lists United Arab Emirates with exemption_type NONE and can_apply_online 1, and an adult regular-passport eligibility check returns not banned and not exempted. The public API also lists Regular passport and Electronic Visa as available options. Use the official eVisa portal for the application and follow the terms shown there. Official checked sources do not publish a fixed UAE-specific tourist fee, validity, entry count, or stay limit in the public data; confirm these live during the application rather than relying on older secondary summaries. UAE MoFA says tourist stay is according to the period specified by tourism companies and that the passport must be valid for at least six months. It also advises travelers to carry required documents and funds. Treat tour-operator sponsorship, escort arrangements, and any security restrictions as trip-specific requirements to confirm with the Libyan sponsor/operator and official portal rather than as universal public eVisa terms.
