Quick answers
Questions, answered.
Do Indians need a visa for Dubai?
Yes, most Indian passport holders need a UAE visa before travel. Some who hold certain foreign residence permits, for example from the US, the UK or an EU state, may qualify for a visa on arrival instead, under conditions set by the UAE. Arika Visa in Goregaon East, Mumbai, checks which route applies to you before anything is filed.
How much does a Dubai tourist visa cost?
The government fee for a 30-day single-entry tourist visa is AED 200, for 30-day multiple entry or 60-day single entry AED 300, and for 60-day multiple entry AED 500, each plus 5% VAT, as published by GDRFA Dubai; confirmed in writing when you apply. Arika Visa quotes its own service fee separately, in writing, before you pay.
How long does a Dubai visa take?
Usually about 48 hours from submission, as published by the issuing authority; confirmed in writing when you apply. Through some airline routes it can take two to four working days. Busy seasons and incomplete documents add time, so Arika Visa in Goregaon East, Mumbai, suggests applying once your flights are booked, and tells you honestly if your travel date is tight.
Do I need to visit a visa centre for a Dubai visa?
No. The UAE tourist visa is an e-visa filed online, so there is no appointment and no biometrics in India. You share a colour copy of your passport and a photo, Arika Visa files the application through a UAE sponsor, and the approved e-visa arrives as a PDF. You print it and carry it with your passport when you fly.
Should I choose a 30-day or 60-day visa?
Choose by the length of your stay and whether you will leave and re-enter the UAE. A single-entry visa ends when you leave; a multiple-entry visa lets you come and go within its validity. The stay is counted from arrival, and you must enter within 60 days of the visa being issued. Arika Visa looks at your itinerary and recommends the one that fits.
Can Arika book my flights and hotel for Dubai too?
Yes. Arika Group can book your flights on its own IATA code 14359656, hotels, airport transfers, travel insurance and foreign exchange from the same office in Goregaon East, Mumbai. The visa case owner brings in the right desk, so the ticket and hotel booking used in your visa application match the trip you actually take.
