The UAE has broadened their visa waiver program, introducing UAE Visa on Arrival for Indian Nationals, allowing Indians and their families holding regular passports to benefit greatly. The Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs, and Port Security (ICP UAE) announced that Indian passport holders with valid residency permits from Singapore, Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada will also now benefit from this initiative.
Effective February 13 this year, the new regulations will allow Indian passport holders to enter the UAE with valid visas, residency permits, or green cards from six additional countries, expanding the previous list that included the United States, United Kingdom and European Union nations.
Upon arrival, these individuals will receive entry visas at all approved entry points in the UAE, provided their passports have a minimum validity of six months and applicable fees are paid according to the country’s regulations.
This initiative is expected to enhance the UAE’s appeal as number one destination for tourism and investment, showcasing its robust economic infrastructure and vibrant business environment.
Experts believe that this move will not only strengthen bilateral relations but also attract talented professionals and entrepreneurs from India.
