Emirates to offer visa-on-arrival to Indian passport holders for Dubai, but there's a catch

The announcement, made on February 1, specifies that the exclusive service is available to Indian passport holders who have a valid six-month visa for the US, a US Green Card, EU Residency, or UK Residency.

Dubai-headquartered Emirates Airline has partnered with VFS Global to launch a pre-approved visa-on-arrival initiative for specific Indian passport holders who have made bookings with the airline. The announcement, made on February 1, specifies that the exclusive service is available to Indian passport holders who have a valid six-month visa for the US, a US Green Card, EU Residency, or UK Residency.

Implemented by the Dubai Visa Processing Centre (DVPC) and issued as a 14-day single entry visa, the program allows Emirates customers to skip immigration queues upon arrival in Dubai. The airline's goal is to simplify the arrival process, enabling passengers to smoothly navigate through customs before exploring the city. However, the airline clarified that visa issuance remains entirely at the discretion of the UAE General Directorate of Residency and Foreign Affairs.
