For UAE citizens, this means no visa for a stay of 180 days in the country per year. However, citizens from Armenia still require a visa to enter the UAE.

Indian nationals living and working in the UAE can get a visa on arrival as usual, pending a valid UAE visa or Emirates ID. The same applies to nationals of the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia and Egypt living and working in the UAE.
