Special offer for Indians..!! 14-day on-arrival Visa..!?
United Arab Emirates (UAE) has relaxed visa norms for Indians. From today, indians holding visas or citizenships for the US, UK, or EU countries can get an on-arrival visa of up to 14 days. The move is expected to further strengthen the already strong relationship between india and the UAE. With more than 35 lakh indian citizens living in the uae, this will greatly benefit indians visiting the UAE. Earlier, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) was issuing on-arrival visas only to indian citizens holding citizenship of the US, UK, or EU countries. With the new policy announced now, indians can get a 14-day on-arrival visa just by holding a visa to travel to Hindu countries. The new visa relaxation introduced by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is expected to increase tourism and business travel between the two countries. Especially many indian travelers who travel to the USA, UK, or european union countries via uae now have an opportunity to stay in uae for a few days and go sightseeing.
UAE authorities have clarified that visa-on-arrival will be issued for a maximum of 14 days and can be extended up to 60 days with an additional fee. indian citizens must hold a passport valid for at least six months to get this extension. Just like the european countries have brought the Schengen visa system to attract tourists from all over the world, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) countries have also brought many new visa relaxations to improve the economy and trade through the tourism sector.
Gulf countries are also planning to introduce a new visa similar to the Schengen visa. By the end of 2024, the GCC is planning to introduce a new visa called the Grand Tours visa. With this visa, one can visit all the countries like Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Schengen visa is valid for non-European nationals of 90 countries including Germany, Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland. , Slovenia, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, and switzerland can travel without any restrictions. Similarly, now the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has announced visa relaxation for all countries including Abu Dhabi, dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm al-Quwain, Ras al-Khaimah, and Fujairah instead of giving visa relaxations to dubai and Abu Dhabi separately.
