Emiratis will be able to visit Tonga, which spans 176 islands in the South Pacific for up to 60 days on each visit if they carry diplomatic, private, mission and regular passports.

The ministry has a target of making the UAE passport among the five best globally for international travel by 2021.

The emirates climbed 11 places to 27th on citizenship firm Henley & Partners’ 2018 passport ranking with visa-free travel to more than 134 countries.
