How the official process works

1

Check the UAE official tourism and immigration guidance to confirm whether your nationality and travel history qualify for visa-on-arrival or whether you need a sponsored tourist visa.

2

If you need a visa before travel, use an approved airline, hotel, or licensed travel agency route, or the relevant official UAE immigration service where available.

3

Upload passport, photo, and the sponsor-requested itinerary or stay documents for the exact route you are using.

4

Travel only after your visa or eligibility confirmation is complete, and carry passport, accommodation, and onward-travel proof for entry checks.

Planning notes before you submit

The UAE government states that tourist visas are issued through approved channels such as airlines, hotels, and licensed travel agencies.

The special 14-day visa-on-arrival facility for eligible Indian nationals depends on holding valid US, UK, or EU documents exactly as defined by the official UAE portal.

A visa or visa-on-arrival eligibility does not remove the need to satisfy airline boarding checks and immigration inspection on arrival.
