Emirates has exclusively partnered with VFS Global to introduce pre-approved 14-day single-entry visas for Indian passport holders who have pre-booked their travel with the airline.
The service is facilitated by Dubai Visa Processing Centre (DVPC), an exclusive facility designated by the airline and the Government of Dubai to process UAE visas via its online portal. It is available to Indian passport holders who are in possession of a valid six-month visa for the US, US Green Card, EU Residency or UK residency, issued at the absolute discretion of the General Directorate of Residency and Foreign Affairs.
After making their flight booking through Emirates’ website or their preferred travel agent, customers may navigate to the ‘manage an existing booking’ page of the website where they can subsequently access the ‘apply for a UAE visa’ link, from where they will be redirected to the online UAE Visa application site powered by VFS Global Services.
Dubai Tourism statistics suggest that Dubai welcomed two million overnight visitors from India between January and October 2023.
