Israel to United Arab Emirates visa requirements

No visa required. Israeli ordinary (biometric) passport holders enter the UAE visa-free for short tourist stays of up to 90 days, free of charge, since the visa exemption took effect on 10 October 2021 under the Abraham Accords. Following the September 2020 Abraham Accords and the mutual visa-waiver arrangement that entered into force on 10 October 2021, holders of ordinary (regular/biometric) Israeli passports are exempt from any prior visa to enter the United Arab Emirates for tourism. No eVisa, visa-on-arrival, or pre-approval is needed: a free entry stamp is granted on arrival permitting a short stay. The exemption applies only to standard biometric/regular passports valid for at least six months; passports bearing an extension sticker and travel documents in lieu of a passport (laissez passer / teudat maavar) are NOT accepted for visa-free entry. The UAE is not part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. Reported visa-free stay lengths vary between 30 and 90 days across sources; the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirms the exemption itself, and multiple secondary references cite up to 90 days. Travelers should hold an onward/return ticket and proof of accommodation, and confirm the exact granted period with the airline or UAE authorities before departure.
