India Visa Requirements

All you need to know to get your India visa approved quickly and smoothly without unnecessary delays or complications.

What is an India Visa & Why You Need One? 

An Indian Visa is official permission granted by the Government of India allowing you to enter and travel across India for leisure, sightseeing, visiting family or short-term travel. Holding an visa to India from Dubai (or UAE) does not automatically guarantee entry; immigration officers at the border can still verify your credentials and you must meet all entry requirements.

Should you be living in the United Arab Emirates and are planning a trip, the Indian Visa, especially the ones going from Dubai or Abu Dhabi, issued by the Indian Consulate in Dubai or online via the e-Visa system is one of the most important requirements in order not to interrupt your travel.

Who Can Apply

Here’s who is eligible to apply for an Indian visit visa from UAE

  • Citizens of the UAE holding a valid residence visa and foreign passport are eligible to apply for a visa to India
  • The UAE citizens can receive various entry rights (in certain cases visa-on-arrival) though, in the vast majority of cases, a full application is needed in case of foreign-passport citizens of the UAE.
  • To apply, the applicants need to meet simple specifications like the possession of a valid passport, a clear history of travels and adherence to the rules of the Indian mission.

Applicants who live in Dubai, Abu Dhabi or anywhere in the United Arab Emirates need to check for their eligibility before submitting an application for an Indian visa, thus ensuring a hassle-free process.

Required Documents

When applying for a visa to India, you’ll need to provide the following documents:

  • Passport of a minimum of six months that has two blank pages.
  • A duly filled online visa application form.
  • Emirates ID (residents) and UAE residence visa (a minimum duration).
  • Newly available passport-size photographs that are in the required specifications.
  • Evidence of onward/return ticket and verified hotel reservations (to most of the cases) when making an Indian visa application in the UAE.
  • Other documents that vary depending on the status of the applicant (employed, self-employed, student, retired, minor) and the reason why they visits the country.

We will also help you to put together and compile all the documents that you need in the proper order.

Indian Visa Application Process 

How to Apply – Step-by-Step Process

  • Select the right visa type based on the purpose of your travel (tourism, visiting family/ friends, etc.).
  • Register the online Indian visa application form on the official Indian visa application portal.
  • Bring all the necessary documents: passport, photos, UAE residence documents or flight/hotel reservations, financial statements, NOC in case of employment and so on.
  • (Unless otherwise specified) Go to a visa centre or biometric capture based on your type.
  • Submit your application either directly or through an authorised agent; pay the applicable visa fee.
  • Wait for the approval, get your e-Visa or stamped visa and you are ready to go for your travel to India.

This is a general procedure regardless of the country you are applying to obtain an India tourist visa whether you are in Dubai, abu dhabi or UAE

Common Reason for Visa Rejection & Tips

  • Partially filled or wrongly filled application form (names do not match with passport)
  • Passport of less than six months of validity or two blank pages.
  • UAE residence visa has already expired or the period is not satisfactory.
  • Inequitable travel history, undefined purpose of visit or inadequate financial evidences.
