Dubai’s Economy and Tourism Department has rolled out a game-changing initiative—a five-year multiple entry visa tailor-made for Indian travelers.
India stands as the primary source market for international visitors to Dubai, and this innovative visa scheme aims to streamline travel and foster stronger ties between the two nations.
The new visa brings unparalleled convenience, requiring only a few business days for processing, making it easier than ever for tourists to explore the wonders of the UAE. With Indian tourists contributing 2.46 million overnight stays in 2023, marking a remarkable 25% surge from pre-pandemic levels, the significance of this initiative cannot be overstated. Notably, the overall year-on-year increase of 34% underscores the enduring importance of nurturing the UAE’s relationship with India.
The special five-year multiple entry visa caters to both business and leisure travelers, granting holders the flexibility to enjoy extended stays in the UAE.
How to apply?
Processing takes a swift two to five working days, with the visa permitting a stay of up to 90 days, extendable once for an additional 90 days, for a total maximum stay of 180 days per year.
To apply for this groundbreaking visa, travelers need to present a valid passport with a minimum validity of six months, a six-month bank statement reflecting a balance of at least $4,000, health insurance coverage, return flight tickets, and a recent photograph.
Dubai’s forward-thinking visa policy underscores its commitment to welcoming Indian tourists with open arms, fostering a seamless travel experience and laying the foundation for enduring cultural exchange and economic cooperation between the two nations.
