The UAE now offers a Visa on Arrival for Indian tourists, granting a 14-day visa that can be extended for another 14 days. A 60-day non-extendable visa is also available. This facility applies to Indian nationals and Green Card holders from the USA, UK, and Europe. The update was announced by the Indian Embassy in Abu Dhabi, following a previous collaboration with VFS Global to simplify visa services for Indian travelers.
All Indian tourists will be granted a Visa on Arrival at all entry ports of the UAE or United Arab Emirates. According to the latest update from the UAE authorities, the facility will help Indian tourists and make the travel hassle-free.
Interestingly, the on-arrival visa facility is also being extended to Permanent Residents or Green Card holders from the United States of America (USA), the UK, or nationals from any other European Country.
Dubai Visa on Arrival for Indians
The visa-on-arrival facility will be granted for an initial period of 14 days initially. It will be extendable for another 14 days. In addition to this visa, an on-arrival visa of 60 days will also be granted. However, the 60-day visa will not be extendable.
Of course, the visa will be issued after paying the requisite fee to the UAE authorities.
A Twitter announcement in this regard was made from the official handle of the Indian Embassy in Abu Dhabi.
Before this, in February 2024, the Emirates government had partnered with VFS Global for a pre-approved visa-on-arrival facility for Indian nationals.
The social media account of the UAE government said that the partnership with VFS Global will help reduce the queues for Indian passport holders.
During the same period, the UAE government introduced a multiple-entry visa to foster tourism, business, and economic ties. The multiple-entry visa is valid for five years.
