Where and how to apply for a Dubai / UAE visa
UAE tourist visas are issued electronically and are commonly arranged through the official immigration services, airlines or licensed travel agents. You provide a passport scan, a photograph and travel details, and receive the e-visa by email.
Entry rules can differ by passport and by the visas you already hold. Some Indian travellers with certain valid US, UK or EU visas or residence permits may qualify for simpler entry, so confirm the current rule before you travel.
Processing timeline to plan around
- Express e-visas are often issued within one to two working days; standard processing can take a few days longer.
- The validity window to enter the country differs from the permitted length of stay, so check both dates.
- Apply at least a week before travel to leave time for corrections.
Common mistakes with Dubai / UAE applications
- A name on the visa that differs from the passport by even one letter.
- Entering after the visa validity window has ended.
- Overstaying, which attracts daily fines.
- Assuming eligibility for easier entry without checking the current rule.
