UAE suspends visa-on-arrival service for Indian passengers with US, UK visas

UAE-VISA

UAE authorities have temporarily suspended issuing visas on arrival for Indian nationals with a visa or residence permit issued by the US, UK or an EU Member State, Etihad Airways said on Monday.

“The UAE authorities have decided to temporarily suspend the visa-on-arrival facility for passengers who are arriving from or been in India in the past 14 days. We’re working to update our website,” Etihad’s official guest relations Twitter account notified passengers

Last week, Etihad had said that Indians with a visa or residence permit issued by the US, UK or an EU Member State could visit Abu Dhabi.

“If you are an Indian citizen, you are now eligible to apply for a visa when you arrive in the UAE, including Abu Dhabi. To qualify, you must have a US visitor visa or green card, or holding a UK or EU residence valid for at least six months. And your passport must have at least six months validity,” the national carrier had said in a statement.

No reason has been provided for the suspension.

On the other hand, Oman will allow fully vaccinated travellers from India (those who have got Covishield) to visit the country starting September 1. The second dose should have been taken at least 14 days before the date of travel.
