India Visa for UAE citizens (2026)

Can UAE citizens get a India eVisa?

India grants online eligibility to UAE citizens across 8 visa options such as Tourist Evisa (Double Entries for 30 days), Tourist Evisa (Multiple Entries for 1 year), Tourist Evisa (Multiple Entries for 5 years). India currently supports Double Entries or Multiple Entries for 1 year or Multiple Entries for 5 years or Triple Entries for 60 days or Single Entry for 30 days, with a permitted stay of 30 days or 365 days. Government fees range from US$50.00 to US$130.00, depending on the visa type. Standard processing is typically 3 working days, with faster options around 1 working day.

Documents and tips for Emirati travellers

UAE passports are strong, but destinations can still require an eVisa and a validity buffer beyond your stay — confirm both before booking. Fees are billed in US dollars, so Emirati applicants may see an AED conversion on their card. The most common avoidable mistake for UAE citizens: assuming the UAE passport’s wide access removes the eVisa step — some destinations still require it.

• Enter your name in Latin letters exactly as transliterated in your UAE passport.
• Check whether the destination grants visa-free entry to Emirati passports or still needs an eVisa.
• Allow lead time around major holiday travel periods when volumes are higher.
