The Government of India has decided to extend the Visa-on-Arrival facility to nationals of the United Arab Emirates with effect from November 16, 2019. This facility is aimed to strengthen trade and tourism as well as strategic ties between both countries.
This Facility will be available to UAE nationals for a period of up to 60 days with double entry for business, tourism, conference, and medical purposes. The visa-on-Arrival facility will be possible at six designated International Airports specifically, Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kolkata, and Mumbai.
Visa-on-Arrival will be available only to those UAE nationals who have earlier obtained an e-Visa or a normal paper Visa for India, irrespective of whether the person actually visited India or not. Those UAE nationals going to India for the first time may be recommended to apply for an e-Visa or a normal paper Visa.
