UAE Introduces 60-Day Visa for Nationals from Seven Countries

The United Arab Emirates government has introduced a 60-day entry visa service for nationals of seven countries and their family members who possess valid immigration documents issued by approved nations. This service, published by the UAE's Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security, is applicable to ordinary passport holders who can provide proof of a valid visa, residence permit, or equivalent document from a list of qualifying countries.

Indian nationals and their families qualify if they hold a valid visa, residence permit, or US Green Card issued by a European Union member state or the United Kingdom, as well as residence permits from Japan, South Korea, Australia, Canada, Singapore, or New Zealand. The other six countries included are Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, and South Korea, which do not include the US Green Card in their eligibility criteria.

The visa is designed for those residing abroad and allows family members of eligible holders to benefit, subject to specific terms and conditions.
