Determining whether a visa is required depends on your nationality.

For instance, passport holders from Andorra and Japan can receive a 30-day visa on arrival without pre-arrangement.

Conversely, Indian nationals with specific residency cards, such as a UK residence card, can obtain a 14-day visa on arrival.

When applying for a UAE eVisa, it is important to ensure that your passport is valid for at least six months from the date of entry into the UAE.

Applicants must also provide a recent passport-sized photograph with a white background, alongside a confirmed itinerary, including hotel bookings or a letter of invitation from a UAE resident.

Additionally, travelers are required to submit a copy of their confirmed round-trip flight tickets.

The eVisa application can be completed online through the official portal, and typically, the processing time ranges from 3 to 5 working days.

It is also crucial to ensure that all information provided matches your travel documents to avoid any issues upon entry.
