Dubai visa FAQ

How long does a Dubai visa take for Indians?

Standard processing is typically a few working days, with express options available. Times depend on the UAE immigration system and are confirmed when you apply.

Can I get a Dubai visa on arrival with an Indian passport?

Only if you hold a valid US visa or green card, or a UK/EU residence permit, subject to conditions. Everyone else needs a pre-approved e-visa.

Is OK-to-board required for Dubai?

Some Indian carriers have required OK-to-board in the past. We check the current rule for your airline and handle it if needed.

How much does a Dubai visa cost through Unlocktravels?

Government fees change often and depend on the visa type and processing speed, so we quote for your exact case. Tap "Request pricing" and we'll send a written quote — government fee and our service charge listed separately — usually within a few working hours.

Can you guarantee my Dubai visa?

No one can — the decision rests solely with the embassy. What we do is remove avoidable errors: we check every document against current requirements, which is where most refusals come from.

Do I need to visit your office?

No. Everything can be done over WhatsApp, phone and email. You only visit a visa centre if biometrics or an interview is required.
