Abu Dhabi Waives Visa Fees for Eligible Indian Tourists

Abu Dhabi has launched a limited-period programme to waive UAE entry visa fees for eligible Indian tourists. The offer is available from August 1 to October 31 and applies only to Indian passport holders travelling from India.

The holiday booking must meet certain conditions, including a minimum stay of three consecutive nights at an Abu Dhabi hotel, a return flight booked from India, and booking through a participating travel partner or online travel agency approved by Abu Dhabi's tourism department.

A standard 30-day UAE tourist visa generally costs around AED 252 (approximately Rs 6,500), but the waiver does not mean that the entire trip is free. The offer aims to attract more Indian visitors by strengthening air connectivity and partnerships with the travel trade.
