Simplified Options for Tourism and Business
Dubai has taken a major step toward simplifying travel for Indian nationals by introducing updated visa rules. These new policies aim to enhance tourism and business relationships between India and Dubai, making the city even more accessible for short visits or extended stays.
Let’s dive into the details of Dubai’s visa updates and how they benefit Indian travelers.

Additional Visa Options for Indian Travelers
Apart from visa-on-arrival, Dubai offers other exciting choices:
• Five-Year Multiple-Entry Visa: Since 2023, Indian nationals can apply for this visa, allowing unlimited entries over five years. This is perfect for frequent travelers, professionals, or families visiting loved ones.
• Pre-Approved Visa Services: Through partnerships with VFS Global and Emirates airline, travelers can now secure pre approved visas, reducing waiting times upon arrival.
How to Apply for Dubai Visas?
The application process has been streamlined:
• Gather the required documents (passport, proof of visa eligibility, travel, and accommodation details).
• Apply online via trusted platforms like Emirates Airlines or UAE visa services.
Boosting Tourism and Business Ties
With these simplified visa rules, Dubai is set to strengthen its bond with Indian travelers:
• Tourism Growth:
In 2023, Dubai welcomed 2.46 million Indian visitors, a 25% increase from pre-pandemic levels. The longer visa options encourage more extended stays to enjoy attractions like the Burj Khalifa, Palm Jumeirah, and luxury shopping experiences.
• Business Opportunities:
As one of India’s largest trading partners, the UAE provides vast opportunities for business professionals to foster collaborations. Simplified visa processes enable seamless travel for work, conferences, and partnerships.
Key Points for Travelers
To ensure a hassle-free trip, keep these in mind:
• Maintain clean travel records with no visa violations.
• Direct travel from eligible countries is required for visa-on-arrival.
• For minors or family visas, check specific conditions before planning your trip.
