Are you confused about whether UAE visit visas are available for Indians? Here’s what you need to know.
Recently, the UAE government has tightened its regulations on visit visas for all countries, especially for individuals in labor categories. This includes restrictions for people from India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, African countries, and some others if their profession is considered low or they appear to be from a labor category.
For Indians, if you’re part of a family group or an individual graduate, obtaining a visit visa is relatively easy. You can get one through any reputable travel agency. However, if you’re in the labor category, many travel agencies may be hesitant to issue a visit visa. This is because if a person overstays their visa, the agency that sponsored the visa can face a fine of up to 3,000 dirhams from immigration authorities. As a result, agencies prefer to issue visas only to those with strong financial backgrounds to avoid such issues.
Please note that these regulations are based on information from UAE-based travel agencies and may change at any time.
