UAE Expands Visa-On-Arrival for Indian and Filipino Nationals

The UAE expanded its visa-on-arrival program for eligible Indian and Filipino nationals, offering stays up to 60 days to boost tourism and business.

The updated regulations, effective from June 25, broaden the conditions for Indian and Filipino nationals. These travellers can now secure an arrival visa if they hold a valid visa or residence permit from Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, or the Republic of Korea, in addition to previously authorised countries like the United States or United Kingdom. Visitors can obtain a 14-day entry permit for Dh100, extendable once for another 14 days at a cost of Dh250. Alternatively, a 60-day visa, which cannot be extended, is available for Dh250.
