Frequently Asked Questions
Can an Indian passport holder with UK residence get a visa on arrival?
Eligible Indian passport holders may qualify for a 14-day UAE visa on arrival when the passport and qualifying UK residence permission meet the current conditions. Final eligibility and entry are decided by UAE immigration.
Does my UK residence permission need six monthsโ validity?
For the arrival route described on this page, the passport and qualifying UK residence permission should each have sufficient validity at UAE arrival. An ILR holder should be able to prove that the status is active.

Yes, subject to eligibility, document requirements and UAE immigration assessment.
Can I request a 60-day tourist visa from the UK?
Yes, when the option is available for the applicant profile. It can suit a longer holiday or family visit.

Yes. Every traveller must have the correct permission for the passport used, and family members can have different requirements when nationalities differ.
How long does standard processing take?
Standard processing is usually targeted within 24โ72 working hours after complete documents are accepted. Immigration review can take longer.
