European Parliament votes to allow Emiratis visa-free travel to Schengen Area | The National:



"The European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly to allow visa-free travel for UAE citizens to Europe.



Of the 577 members voting in Strasbourg on Thursday, 523 voted in favour of waiving visa requirements for Emiratis travelling to the 26 Schengen Area states.



The result was welcomed by UAE officials, who said it came as a result of years of efforts.



“We’ll become the first Arab country whose nationals are exempted from the Schengen visa,” said Dr Anwar Gargash, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs."
