UAE Nationals Can Stay in Japan for 90 Days Without a Visa Starting July 1
The updated visa waiver applies to UAE citizens holding valid, ICAO-compliant ordinary passports. The extension covers short-term stays for purposes such as tourism, business, and visiting family or friends.
Japan has allowed visa-free entry for UAE nationals since 2022, with an initial limit of 30 days. The forthcoming change triples the allowed stay and is part of Japan's broader efforts to enhance bilateral engagement with the UAE.
Officials anticipate that the relaxed entry rules will lead to increased travel between the two nations, improved convenience for business travelers, and deeper cultural and economic exchange.
In a reciprocal move, the UAE introduced a similar visa waiver for Japanese nationals in August 2024, allowing short-term stays of up to 90 days without a visa.
The mutual visa waiver reflects growing cooperation between Japan and the UAE, aligning with both countries' goals of expanding international connectivity and easing travel regulations.
