Dubai Visa Documents Checklist for Indian Travellers

The UAE tourist visa process for Indians has become considerably simpler in recent years — here's what's actually needed.

Standard documents required

A passport valid for at least 6 months from your travel date, a recent passport-size photograph (white background), a confirmed return flight ticket, and proof of hotel booking or a UAE-based sponsor's invitation. Some visa categories also ask for bank statements showing sufficient funds.

Processing time

Standard UAE tourist visas typically process within 3-5 working days, though we always recommend applying at least 2-3 weeks before your travel date to account for any delays or additional document requests.

Visa validity types

The most common options are a 30-day single-entry visa and a 60-day visa (which can sometimes be extended). Multiple-entry visas are also available for frequent travellers, usually at a higher cost.
