UAE F.M asks Europe to Waive Visa Rules for Citizens

Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan - Foreign Minister of UAE has urged European nations to change the visa rules and approve a proposal to allow citizens of United Arab Emirates to access European borders without a visa or give a free visa on arrival .

He expressed this after a meeting with Greek PM Antonis Samaras at Athens: �In the coming weeks, the European Union is expected to make an important decision on the expansion of the list of countries that are granted visa free access to the Schengen Area.

�For over two years, the Greece Govt. has publicly & repeatedly expressed its view that the UAE should be added to that visa-free list. We are grateful for that support,� Sheikh Abdullah said.
