Where can Syrian 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.

The permit must have at least six months left on the day you enter, and you need to show the physical card or the residence sticker in your passport. Border officers may check that it shows your name, nationality, date of birth and expiry date in Latin script.

• GeorgiaVisa-free · 90 daysVerify

  Your UAE residence permit lets you enter Georgia without a visa for up to 90 days in any 180-day period, but only if it is a multiple-entry permit with at least one year still to run on the day you cross the border. A permit with less than a year left does not qualify — you would need a Georgian visa instead. 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.
