Dubai: The UAE has broadened the visa waiver programme for Indian nationals and their families holding regular passports. The new regulations will allow Indian passport holders to enter the UAE with valid visas, residency permits, or green cards from six additional countries, expanding the previous list that included the United States, European Union nations, and the United Kingdom.
The Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship, Customs, and Port Security (ICP) announced that Indian passport holders with valid residency permits from Singapore, Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada will also now benefit from this initiative. The programme allows visitors to enter the UAE without obtaining a prior visa.

The fee for extending the visa for another 14 days is Dh250. The fee for issuing a 60-day visa is also Dh250.
