Frequently Asked Questions
Dubai Visa FAQ for Indian Citizens
Real questions from Indian applicants, answered
Only if you hold a valid visa or residence from the US, UK, EU, Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore or South Korea. Otherwise you need a pre-approved UAE tourist eVisa, which most Indian travellers apply for in advance.
New rules mean many applicants now need a confirmed hotel booking, a return ticket and clear funds, plus extra documents if staying with relatives. Missing any of these is the main cause of the higher refusal rate, which our review is designed to prevent.
You do not upload a bank statement for the standard eVisa, but guidance circulating suggests showing access to roughly AED 3,000 for a 30-day trip and more for 60-day. Treat these as indicative and ask us if unsure.
No. Travel insurance is not required for approval. Be careful of agents who add fake mandatory insurance to inflate the price. Insurance is optional and only worth it for your own peace of mind.
Prices start at $229 all in, government fee included. The rupee amount depends on your card exchange rate, since payment is processed in US dollars.
A 30-day tourist visa can usually be extended, often twice, for a fee. Contact us before it expires and we will guide you.
We offer three speeds for Indian applicants: Standard within 12 working days, Priority within 9, and Express within 6. Times exclude weekends and UAE public holidays and start once your complete application and payment are received. From India, we advise applying at least 15 days before you travel.
Yes. Every Indian traveller, including infants and minors, needs a separate eVisa application, even a child included on a parent's passport. In some cases, for India applicants, a birth or marriage certificate may be requested to confirm the family relationship.
Your approved eVisa arrives as a PDF by email and is also available from your visa portal. For Indian travellers we recommend carrying a printout for airline check-in and on arrival, with a copy on your phone as a backup. This applies to every eVisa issued for India.
You must leave the UAE before your permitted stay ends. Since February 2026 the grace period has been removed, and a fine of AED 50 per day accrues from the day after your stay expires, so Indian travellers from India should plan the departure date carefully.
No. UAEVisaOnline.ae is a private visa-assistance service operated by Travel Rox, Inc., not affiliated with the UAE government. Indian travellers may also apply directly on the official portal at a lower cost. For applicants from India, our fee covers a simplified application, expert document review, error prevention, photo validation, tracking and dedicated support.
