The UAE topped the Middle East and North Africa region in the Global Tourist Visa Openness and Facilitation Index 2023, prepared by the United Nations Tourism Organization.
The UAE scored 67.80 points on the general index, beating international tourist destinations such as the United Kingdom, Denmark, France, Japan, Italy, and others. The Tourist Visa Openness Index scores start from 0 and end at 100, and a higher score means the ease of the tourist visa.
In 2015, 71 percent of the world's population needed a traditional visa before visiting the Middle East, and by May 2023, the figure had dropped to 57 percent.
