UAE Visa on Arrival for Indian Citizens

Indian passport holders can enjoy visa-on-arrival entry to the UAE if they meet specific eligibility requirements. This convenient option eliminates the need to apply for a visa beforehand, making travel to the Emirates smoother for eligible visitors.

To qualify, Indian travellers must hold a valid residence permit or long-term visa from certain countries. These include:

  • United States
  • United Kingdom
  • European Union member states
  • Singapore
  • Japan
  • South Korea
  • Australia
  • New Zealand
  • Canada

If you’re an Indian citizen with a valid visa or residence from any of these nations, you can receive a 14-day visa on arrival in the UAE, which can be extended once for an additional 14 days.

Just make sure your passport is valid for at least six months from your date of entry.

This policy continues to strengthen travel ties between India and the UAE, offering more flexibility for frequent travellers, business professionals, and tourists alike.
