Even with US, UK visas, online UAE entry permit must for Indians

Muscat: Indian passport holders with a US green card, and UK or EU residence visa now need to apply for a pre-approved UAE visa online before traveling to Dubai.

There has been a recent change in the visa process for Indian passport holders traveling to Dubai.

Previously, certain eligible Indians could obtain a pre-approved visa on arrival in the UAE. However, under the new regulations, these individuals must now apply for the visa online before their trip.

This new requirement applies to Indian citizens with ordinary passports who hold a valid US green card, or residence visa from the UK or EU countries. These individuals were previously eligible for a pre-approved visa on arrival for a 14-day stay in Dubai, with the option for a single 14-day extension.

The pre-approved visa-on-arrival option is no longer available. Now, eligible travelers must apply for the visa electronically through the official channels before their departure to Dubai.

While the process has shifted online, the visa itself remains a single-entry, 14-day permit with the possibility of a single extension.

Applying online streamlines the process and avoids potential delays or issues upon arrival in Dubai

Visa can be applied at the official website of the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA).

Travelers should fill out the application by providing the required details and pay an application fee of AED 253. After the visa is approved, the applicant will receive it via email, hopefully within 48 hours.
