The visa will be valid for a period of 14 days and extendable for a similar period or for 60 days after which it cannot be extended, The Indian embassy In UAE announced.
Individuals with permanent resident cards, green cards or valid visas from the United States, the United Kingdom or any European Union nation qualify to benefit from this.
Qualified individuals must also possess passports that are valid for at least six months from the date of entry into the UAE.
The new arrangement comes following previous measures aimed at easing Indian travellers who are seen as important to Dubai’s tourism market.
In February 2023, Emirates Airlines, in partnership with VFS Global, introduced a pre-approved visa-on-arrival service for Indian passport holders for travellers to bypass queues upon arrival in Dubai.
That same month, Dubai introduced a five-year multiple-entry visa for Indian nationals to strengthen business, tourism, and economic ties between India and the UAE.
