Who can get the free UAE visa?

The offer is available to Indian passport holders departing from India who book an Abu Dhabi holiday through a participating travel partner.

To qualify, the booking must include:

  • A minimum three consecutive nights in an Abu Dhabi hotel

  • A return flight from India

  • Booking through a participating travel partner or online travel agency

Travellers cannot apply independently for the offer. The programme has been developed specifically for participating travel partners and OTAs.

How does the free visa programme work?

Participating travel partners can choose between two options.

They can work through a DCT-appointed destination management company (DMC), with DCT Abu Dhabi covering the visa costs directly.

Alternatively, travel partners can continue working with their existing DMC partners. In this case, DCT Abu Dhabi will reimburse Dh285 for each visa issued.
