Dubai announces 5-year multiple-entry tourist visa for Indian travellers

Dubai has introduced a Five-year multiple-entry visa to bolster travel between India and Dubai, highlighting its commitment to fostering sustained economic collaborations and encouraging tourism and business ties. 

This step ensures that the visa, issued within two to five working days upon receiving and accepting the service request, allows its holder to stay in the country for 90 days, extendable once for a similar period, with a total stay not exceeding 180 days in one year. 

Through this initiative, tourists can leverage multiple entries and exits, providing operational flexibility for business engagements, leisure travel, and seamless connectivity.

Bader Ali Habib, Regional Head of Proximity Markets, Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism, said: "Dubai values its long-standing relationship with India, and our inbound visitation from the market in 2023 was outstanding, contributing to a record-breaking performance by our tourism sector.

As a key market for Dubai, India will continue to play an integral role in enabling us to achieve the goals of the D33 Agenda, further reinforcing Dubai's position as a hub for business, investment and tourism.

The five-year multiple entry visa initiative signifies a strategic step towards deepening our already existing ties with India.

This historic milestone will not only open doors to a longer and more enriching experience for Indian tourists, but also provide a platform for increased economic collaboration.

It is also testament to Dubai's commitment to India and the infinite possibilities that can be explored between UAE and the sub-continent.

With exceptional flight connectivity and our ongoing commitment to the Indian market, we are confident that our upcoming initiatives will further amplify awareness about Dubai's diverse offerings, multicultural setting, and abundance of hotels and attractions, continuing to make it the top travel choice for Indian tourists."
