Citizens of Kiribati can land in the UAE without applying for a visa. The UAE foreign ministry lists the Republic of Kiribati as visa free: a free multiple entry visit visa on arrival, valid 6 months, for up to 90 days in total. Our work starts where that rule stops, such as a longer stay or a family on mixed passports.
A conflict you may see online
Some third-party visa sites say a Kiribati passport needs a visa for the UAE. The UAE foreign ministry list says Visa Free. We follow the ministry. Keep 6 months of validity on the passport.

Fees
| What | Amount | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Arrival on a Kiribati passport | Free | UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs |

Late departure is costly. See UAE overstay fine.
A long way to travel
Getting from Tarawa to the Gulf takes several flights, so one delay can cost a night. Count the connections when you pick dates and keep a printed onward ticket. Your first airline checks the UAE entry rule at departure.
Your own country's offices
We found no Kiribati embassy in the UAE. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Immigration runs an Immigration Office in Bairiki, Tarawa. Write to the ministry before you travel if you need a document, and ask which office serves the Gulf.
Travelling with someone on a different passport
A partner with an Australian, New Zealand, British or other passport follows a different rule, and some of those need a visa. Send every passport page. We read each one and file a visa where it is needed.
Staying beyond a visit
The visit visa does not allow work. Residence, filed by an employer or sponsor in the UAE, covers a job or a family stay. We check which route fits you.
How it works with us
Message the passport pages and dates. An adviser tells you who can enter without a visa, if an extension makes sense, and the single price for any filing. After you agree, we submit and follow up. This is a private visa service, and GDRFA or ICP decides.
If an application is refused, the authorities keep their fees. Before you pay, your adviser tells you in writing what part of our total, if any, would come back.
