You can stay for up to 60 days with a visa-on-arrival, but the 14-day limit can be extended with additional costs.

There’s excellent news if you’re an Indian traveller considering a vacation to the United Arab Emirates (UAE)! The UAE has loosened its visa-on-arrival regulations, which facilitates travel for Indian nationals. Travelling has been easier because of the growing diplomatic relations between India and the United Arab Emirates, home to more than 3.5 million Indians.

You can now obtain a 14-day entrance visa upon arrival in the UAE if you possess a valid visa or a permanent resident card (green card) from any nation in the European Union, the United States, or the United Kingdom. The previous regulation, which restricted the ability to obtain a visa upon arrival to Indian nationals holding residency permits from these nations, has been significantly modified. 

The action by the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs, and Ports Security (ICP) has been hailed by travel agents in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) as a positive move that will draw in more Indian tourists. Travel agents expect an increase in reservations as a result of this reform, since it makes travelling for work and pleasure easier for Indian tourists.

This declaration was just made by the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs, and Ports Security (ICP) of the United Arab Emirates. This implies that Indian tourists with regular passports who possess US, UK, or EU visas are now eligible to benefit from this benefit.

You must be in possession of a current visa, residency permit, or green card issued by the UK, the US, or any member of the European Union.

At least six months should elapse before your trip date on your passport.

For Indian tourists, this modification is revolutionary since it streamlines and improves accessibility. This new policy guarantees that your vacation will start smoothly from the time you land, regardless of whether you are here for business or pleasure. It is evident that this will have a favourable effect on Indian tourists as well as the UAE tourism business, since travel brokers in the UAE wholeheartedly welcome this initiative.
