🇲🇱Mali Visa for Emirati Citizens2026 Requirements, Fees & Documents

Visa-free90 days max stay

No — Emirati passport holders do not need a visa for Mali. Entry is visa-free for up to 90 days as of 2026.

Visa-free for UAE regular (ordinary) passport holders per bilateral MoU signed November 1, 2018 between UAE and Mali. Gulf News confirmed UAE nationals with diplomatic, private (ordinary), and VIP passports are covered. Wikipedia also confirms UAE ordinary passport holders are visa-free (90 days). NOTE: maliembassy.us does not list UAE in its visa-exempt nationalities list as of June 2026 validation run; UAE is not among the named countries on that page. The MoU grant in the Gulf News article covers UAE nationals travelling TO Mali (the correct direction for this inbound record). The UAE MOFA page was separately checked and shows Malian citizens need a visa to enter UAE (the reverse direction). The UAE-Mali MoU is kept based on the 2018 bilateral agreement news; flagged for re-verification against official Malian MFA text.
