UAE Visa for Indians — FAQ
Can Indians get a UAE visa on arrival?
No. Indian passport holders need a pre-approved UAE e-visa before flying. The only exception is Indians holding a valid US visa, US Green Card, UK residence visa or EU residence visa — they can get a 14-day visa on arrival.
What is the cheapest UAE visa for Indians?
The 30-day single-entry tourist visa is the most affordable starting option for Indian travellers. Service charges and government fees apply. Apply via eVisas.io for the best-priced bundle.
How long does it take to get a UAE visa for Indians?
Standard processing is 3–5 business days. Express processing is available in 24–48 hours for an additional fee. Apply at least a week before your travel date.
Which documents do Indian applicants need?
Coloured passport bio page scan (6+ months validity from entry date), a recent colour passport-size photo with white background, and confirmed return flight ticket. Hotel booking helps but is not mandatory.
Can I apply for a UAE visa for my family from India?
Yes. You can submit multiple applicants under one booking on eVisas.io. Each applicant needs their own passport scan and photo. Family group discounts apply on service charges.
What is the difference between Dubai visa and UAE visa?
There is no separate Dubai visa — Dubai is part of the UAE, so a UAE tourist visa lets you enter and travel across all seven emirates: Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain.
