In a significant move to streamline the arrival processes and ensure a hassle-free entry for travelers into Dubai, Emirates has rolled out a pre-approved visa on arrival facility specifically for Indian passport holders. This innovative facility is designed to cater to Indian travelers who have booked their journey via Emirates, offering them a swift and efficient entry into Dubai.

This announcement made on X (formerly Twitter), highlights Emirates' commitment to enhancing the travel experience for its customers.
How the Pre-Approved Visa Process Works
Emirates has partnered with VFS Global to introduce this streamlined visa on arrival facility. Travelers looking to take advantage of this service must book their flights through emirates.com or their preferred travel agent. Following the booking, customers are directed to the 'apply for a UAE visa' link, which redirects them to the online UAE Visa application site powered by VFS Global Services. This site outlines all the necessary requirements, terms, and conditions for the visa application process, ensuring travelers are well-informed before their journey begins.
Eligibility and Emirates' Indian Network
This exclusive service is available to Indian passport holders who possess a valid six-month visa for the US, US Green Card, EU Residency, or UK Residency, making it a highly beneficial facility for a broad spectrum of Indian travelers. Additionally, Emirates boasts an extensive network, currently serving nine destinations across India with 167 weekly flights. Its vast global network spans over 140 destinations, ensuring seamless connectivity for travelers from India to Dubai and beyond. The Indian cities under Emirates' network include Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kochi, Kolkata, Mumbai, and Thiruvananthapuram, offering numerous options for Indian travelers to connect globally.
Emirates' introduction of the pre-approved visa on arrival facility for Indian passport holders marks a significant milestone in enhancing travel convenience and experience. This initiative not only simplifies the arrival process for Indian travelers to Dubai but also reinforces Emirates' position as a customer-centric airline, continuously seeking to innovate and improve its services.
