UAE Visa for Indian Passport Holders: The 2026 Checklist

A UAE tourist visa is usually straightforward for Indian passport holders, and almost every rejection we see comes down to the same two things.

What you need

• Passport valid for at least six months from the date of travel
• A clear colour photograph on a white background
• Confirmed return tickets
• Hotel booking or a host letter

The two common mistakes

First, a passport with under six months left — this is checked before anything else. Second, a photograph with a shadow behind the head, which the system rejects automatically.

Processing normally takes three to four working days. We apply on your behalf once your Dubai booking is confirmed.
