Why this verdict
Emirati citizens are mapped from the Bosnia and Herzegovina MFA country-specific inbound visa paragraph as ordinary-passport visa-free for short visits. This guidance is intentionally conservative: special residence permits, diplomatic/service passports, work, study, airline routing, border checks and transit control can change the practical answer. Reconfirm on the official source before booking.
