Dubai Visa for Citizens of Bosnia & Herzegovina

With a passport from Bosnia and Herzegovina you need a visa for Dubai before you travel. We apply for it on your behalf and check all documents beforehand.

You may have read otherwise: the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Bosnia and Herzegovina on mutual visa exemption on 6 November 2023. Emirates and flydubai list Bosnia and Herzegovina among the countries whose citizens get a 90-day visit visa on arrival. Press overviews such as the one published by Khaleej Times on 27 June 2026 call this “visa-free for 90 days”. In our practical experience, the authorities have not yet applied this, and the visa is still needed before you travel. So please plan for it and do not rely on these lists. If you are unsure, we will check your case free of charge before you apply.

If you live in Germany, Austria or Switzerland, please also upload your residence permit.

Which passport, which visa?

The visa is issued for your passport from Bosnia and Herzegovina. Your passport must still be valid for at least six months on the day you enter the UAE. For online applications, Emirates only accepts machine-readable passports. Handwritten passports are not accepted.

Which documents do citizens of Bosnia & Herzegovina need?

Frequently asked questions

Do I really need a visa with a passport from Bosnia and Herzegovina?

Yes, please plan for the visa before you travel. It is true that the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Bosnia and Herzegovina on mutual visa exemption on 6 November 2023, and Emirates and flydubai list Bosnia and Herzegovina among the countries whose citizens get a 90-day visit visa on arrival. Khaleej Times (27 June 2026) calls this “visa-free for 90 days”. In our practical experience, however, the authorities have not yet applied this. If you are unsure, ask us before you apply. The advice is free of charge.

How long must my Bosnian passport be valid?

At least six months from the day you enter. This is stated on the UAE government portal u.ae and by GDRFA Dubai.

What applies to travel companions with a different nationality?

What counts for entry is the passport a person travels with. The visa checker shows you for each person whether a visa is needed.
