UAE ordinary passport holders need a visa for Eswatini. The official eVisa portal supports online tourist and business eVisa applications, while UAE MoFA also directs UAE travelers to the Eswatini Embassy in Abu Dhabi. The United Arab Emirates is not on Eswatini's visa-exemption list, so UAE ordinary passport holders require a visa before travel. UAE MoFA lists normal UAE passports as Visa Required for Eswatini and says applications are made through the Eswatini Embassy in Abu Dhabi. Eswatini also operates an official eVisa portal whose FAQ says eligible foreign citizens can apply online for tourist or business eVisas before traveling; the eVisa is single entry, valid for entry within 90 days from issue, and allows a stay of up to 30 days. The FAQ lists a scanned passport, recent passport-sized photograph, and proof of travel arrangements as core eVisa documents, and says processing is typically 2-5 business days. Because the checked official pages do not publish a fixed UAE-specific eVisa fee and UAE MoFA still points to the embassy route, travelers should confirm whether the portal accepts their case and what fee/visa class applies at the time of application. Use the more conservative six-month passport validity from UAE MoFA for UAE travelers, even though Eswatini's tourism visa guide separately mentions at least three months after travel dates.
