Tuesday, 15 October 2019 16:50

Kiribati is the latest country that UAE nationals can visit without a visa.

Emiratis can stay in the Central Pacific island nation for up to 90 days for free without getting a pre-entry visa.

The decision, which comes into effect on October 23, is applicable to all UAE passport holders.

The visa waiver agreement was signed on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly session in New York last month.

According to the UAE's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, the agreement is expected to boost tourism, trade and investment links between the two countries.
