Notes
French citizens (like other EU/Schengen nationals) enter the UAE visa-free for 90 days within any 180-day period under the EU-UAE agreement. Correction 2026-07-24: an earlier version claimed this was 'significantly longer' than the US/Australian allowance — since November 2024 those nationalities also get 90 days within 180, so the allowances now match.
