Dubai Visa Guide for Indians

Indian passport holders do not qualify for a visa on arrival in Dubai and must obtain a UAE tourist visa in advance. The most straightforward route is through an IATA-accredited travel agent or directly via Emirates, Air Arabia or flydubai airlines when booking your flight — airlines issue visas under their sponsor licence within 3–5 working days. For a 30-day single-entry tourist visa, the fee is approximately INR 4,000–5,500 (USD 55–75) plus service charges. A 14-day short-stay visa is available at a lower fee if you plan a brief trip. Documents required: colour scanned copy of passport (minimum 6 months validity), passport-size white-background photo, confirmed return flight ticket and hotel booking confirmation. Once approved, the e-visa is emailed; print or save it on your phone. At Dubai Immigration, declare any currency above USD 10,000. A travel insurance policy covering AED 150,000 is recommended. Om Leisure Holidays handles the entire visa process as part of our Dubai packages, ensuring zero hassle for our clients.
