Who Needs a Dubai Visa?
As an Indian national, you must obtain a visa before travelling to Dubai. Whether you’re flying directly or stopping over, all travellers (including children) require a valid visa. Infants and minors must also comply, with the same documentation rules.

- Make sure your passport has a minimum remaining validity (often 6 months) and clear pages.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
Can infants travel without a visa?
No. Every person, regardless of age, must have a valid visa to enter the UAE.

How soon before travel should I apply?
We recommend applying at least 7-10 working days before your intended departure, ideally even earlier to accommodate any unexpected delays.
What happens if my visa gets rejected?
Rejection can occur due to insufficient documentation, mismatched information, etc. You can re-apply after correcting the identified issues. Note: rules on the reapplication period vary.
