Where can Indian passport holders living in the UAE travel?

What UAE residency adds

Open to you because of your residence permit, not your passport. Each one is conditional — check the official source first.

• AlbaniaVisa-freeVerify

  UAE Golden Visa (10-year residence) holders only. If your UAE residence permit is the 10-year Golden Visa and has at least one year left on the day you enter, you can enter Albania without a visa. An ordinary two- or three-year UAE permit does not count for this. Albania's foreign ministry does not state a maximum stay for this exemption, so confirm it before booking a long trip.

• GeorgiaVisa-free · 90 daysVerify

  Your UAE residence gives you visa-free entry to Georgia for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. Your Emirates ID counts as the residence document. Keep it valid for your whole trip — the Georgian embassy asks for validity on the day you enter and the day you leave. Border police may also ask for proof of your purpose of travel, accommodation, insurance and funds. Since 1 January 2026 every tourist entering Georgia must also hold health and accident insurance covering the whole trip, arrival and departure days included, for at least 30,000 GEL.

Apply on the Kuwait Visa website before you travel. Your permit and your passport must each be valid for six months from the day you enter. The visa is single entry and lets you stay up to three months.

• OmanVisa-free · 14 daysVerify

  As a UAE resident, you can enter Oman without a visa for up to 14 days — as long as the profession on your residence permit is one Oman accepts. You need a passport valid for at least six months, a return ticket, a confirmed hotel booking, health insurance and enough money for your stay. The 14 days cannot be extended. If your profession does not qualify, apply for an Omani e-visa before you fly.
