Abu Dhabi Offers Free UAE Entry Visas to Indian Travellers

Abu Dhabi is a big city in a country called the United Arab Emirates, also known as the UAE.

Many people from India like to visit Abu Dhabi for holidays.

When people visit another country, they usually need a special paper called a visa, and getting one costs money.

Abu Dhabi's tourism department, called DCT Abu Dhabi, is now paying for the visa so it is free for many Indian visitors.

But there are rules: travellers must book their trip through special travel partners or websites that are part of the programme.

Their booking must include staying at an Abu Dhabi hotel for at least three nights and a return flight ticket back to India.

The free visa offer lasts 92 days, from August 1 to October 31, 2026.

Only up to 20,000 visas will be given during this first trial period.

This saves each traveller about 285 UAE dirhams, roughly 77 US dollars, which families can spend on other fun things during their holiday.
