Dubai Tourist Visa for Indians: Complete Application Guide

Planning a trip to Dubai from India? Before booking your flights, it is important to understand the Dubai tourist visa requirements, application process, fees and eligibility rules. Dubai offers different tourist visa options for Indian travellers, including 30-day and 60-day single-entry and multiple-entry visas. Frequent visitors can also explore the five-year multiple-entry tourist visa.

Indian passport holders may qualify for a Dubai visa on arrival if they have an eligible valid visa, residence permit or Green Card from countries such as the USA, Canada, Australia, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea or an EU member state. Other Indian travellers generally need to obtain a tourist visa before travelling.

The required documents usually include a passport with at least six months of validity, a recent passport-size photograph, confirmed return or onward flight tickets, valid UAE medical insurance and accommodation details. Additional documents may be requested depending on the visa category and application.

Dubai tourist visa fees depend on the selected visa type. The listed government fees start from AED 200 for a 30-day single-entry visa, AED 300 for a 60-day single-entry visa, AED 300 for a 30-day multiple-entry visa and AED 500 for a 60-day multiple-entry visa. Additional VAT and service charges may apply.

A new application facility through Visit Dubai is also being introduced to simplify the visa application process. Travellers can explore the available application channels and choose an option that suits their travel requirements.

Abroad Gateway provides guidance on Dubai tourist visa eligibility, document preparation, visa selection and the application submission process. Proper preparation can help travellers avoid common documentation mistakes and delays.

Whether you are planning a family holiday, shopping trip or leisure vacation, understanding the latest visa rules can make your travel preparation easier.
