Overview
Dubai & UAE Tourist Visa for Indians
Plan Dubai city breaks, Abu Dhabi landmarks and a wider UAE holiday with a pre-arranged tourist entry permit. Dubai is an emirate of the United Arab Emirates, so this page covers UAE entry, not a separate country visa.
Choose the right route
An accredited UAE tourism establishment sponsors the 30-day or 60-day single-entry tourist application. Indian ordinary passport holders should arrange a visa in advance unless they independently meet a specific visa-on-arrival exception.
Budget and application timing
GDRFA lists AED 200 for 30 days and AED 300 for 60 days, plus 5% VAT. Sponsor, insurance and other applicable charges can change the total. These are government references, not an all-inclusive selling price.
GDRFA gives an expected service completion of 48 hours. This is not guaranteed approval and does not include time to correct documents or obtain sponsor acceptance.
Read the decision carefully
Read the issued permit for the last date of entry and the permitted stay. The 30-day or 60-day stay starts on entry; an entry deadline and a stay allowance are different things.
