Citizens without a visa to Japan from next month

Last September, Japan announced that UAE citizens would be exempted from entry visa requirements for holders of ordinary passports, provided that the date of the exemption's entry into force will be announced during the coming period.
Exempting UAE nationals from entry visas to Japan is a result of the efforts of the UAE diplomacy under the supervision of His Highness Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation. This step is expected to facilitate cooperation and transportation, and will encourage increased tourism, cultural and academic exchanges.
