The visa you need depends on your passport, not your residence.
Roughly nine in ten people in the UAE hold another country’s passport. “For UAE residents” is not one answer, it is dozens. Tell us which passport you hold and where you are going, and we will point you at the page that answers it.
We don’t sell visas, book appointments or promise approvals.

Three passports are covered so far: India, Pakistan and the Philippines. More are added in the order readers ask for them.
Count the days you have left in the Schengen area across a rolling 180-day window. Nothing is stored, nothing is sent anywhere, and the rule it applies is the one in the Schengen Borders Code.

Editorial policy
Three things appear on every page, without exception. If we cannot supply all three, the page does not publish.
- 01 Dated on the page Every requirement carries the day it was last verified. Pages unchecked for more than 90 days are flagged to the reader before they read the rule, not after.
- 02 Cited to the issuing government We link the authority that sets the rule, not an aggregator. Where a mission publishes only in its own language, we say so and quote the relevant line.
- 03 Named reviewer A person, not a brand, signs each check. Corrections are published with the date they were made and what the page said before.
