The visa allows for a maximum stay of 14 days and incurs a fee of Dhs191 (subject to change). Travellers have the option to apply for a 14-day extension for an additional fee of Dhs250 (subject to change) through Amer offices in Dubai.
It’s essential to note that Indian nationals holding an extension letter for US residency are not eligible for the visa on arrival, as clarified in a notice published on the Emirates airline website. Please stay informed about any potential changes to these regulations.
