Reported: 3 November 2026
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) says UAE citizens aged 12 and above can use electronic gates at German airports, following a new EasyPASS-RTP registration update reported on 2 November 2026.
MOFA’s travel guidance, as described in the report, states that using the service requires a valid biometric passport and pre-registration and approval in the EasyPASS-RTP registered passenger system through authorised registration offices at German airports.
The German Federal Police is cited as confirming that joining EasyPASS-RTP is completely free for eligible Emirati travellers, and that the programme duration is limited to the validity period of the electronic passport.
The report explains that travellers must appear in person at participating airport service offices and that registration is available during official working hours without a prior appointment.
In addition, the report reiterates that UAE citizens are visa-exempt for tourism stays in Germany for up to 90 consecutive days, or separate days within 180 days, and outlines similar permitted-stay durations for treatment and study purposes.
