The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation announced on Monday that the mutual visa exemption agreement between UAE and the Republic of Equatorial Guinea has come into effect as of July 28, 2019.
Under this agreement, Emiratis can travel to the Republic of Equatorial Guinea without a prior visa and stay for 90 days.
The agreement was signed by His Excellency Yacoub Yousef Al Hosani, Assistant Minister for International Organizations Affairs at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, and by the Government of the Republic of Equatorial Guinea HE Simeon Ayuno Asuno Angie, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation.
According to the visa waiver agreement, holders of special diplomatic passports/service issued by the two countries may enter the two countries without a prior visa and stay there for 90 days - while normal UAE passport holders are entitled to a visa upon arrival at the international border ports of Equatorial Guinea after payment of visa fees, or through representative missions around the world, and stay there for up to 90 days.
This visa exemption has further solidified UAE's position as the most powerful passport in the world and region.
