As of July 1, 2025, UAE nationals can enjoy an extended visa-free stay in Japan, allowing them to remain in the country for up to 90 days per visit. This development enhances the previous arrangement, which permitted a 30-day stay, and is part of the ongoing efforts to strengthen bilateral relations between the UAE and Japan.
This extension aligns with the visa waiver measure introduced in 2024, which granted Japanese nationals the ability to stay in the UAE for up to 90 days without a visa. The reciprocal nature of these agreements underscores the commitment of both nations to foster closer ties and facilitate easier travel for their citizens.
The enhanced visa-free access is expected to boost tourism, business, and cultural exchanges between the two countries, providing greater flexibility and convenience for travellers.
