The United Arab Emirates has expanded its visa-on-arrival programme for Indian nationals to include those with valid residence permits from six additional countries.
Starting 13 February 2025, Indian nationals holding ordinary passports with valid residence permits from Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, the Republic of Korea, and Singapore can obtain a visa on arrival at any UAE entry point.
This expansion adds to the existing eligibility criteria, which allows Indian nationals to obtain a visa on arrival if they hold a valid visa, residence permit, or Green Card from the United States, European Union, or United Kingdom.
