According to the Dubai authorities, who confirmed this information on Friday, the five-year multiple-entry visa is available to tourists of all nationalities and has been available for the past two years.
It was claimed on Thursday by a number of Indian media outlets that a new visa that allows Indian visitors to enter several times and is valid for five years had been introduced. In the United Arab Emirates, the multiple-entry permit was initially announced in 2021, and shortly thereafter, the initial visas were distributed.
Promoting tourism
During a travel expo that took place in Mumbai this week, the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET) brought attention to this with the intention of boosting tourism from one of its most important markets.
The period during which the visa is issued
The visa, which is provided within two to five working days after the service request has been received and accepted, grants the bearer the right to remain in the nation for a period of ninety days, with the possibility of extending their stay for an additional term of the same length, with a maximum stay of one hundred eighty days in a single year.
Five multiple entry tourist visa
One of the most senior officials in the United Arab Emirates stated that the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism has been receiving an excessive number of requests about the five-multiple-entry tourist visa over the course of the past two years.
This visa has become a game-changer, removing hurdles for last-minute travel and emerging as the preferred alternative for frequent travelers, according to a post that was made on LinkedIn by Bader Ali Habib, who is the regional head of proximity markets for the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism.
According to the article, "The number of inquiries that we have been receiving from India over the course of the past two years regarding this visa category has been completely overwhelming."
Ali Habib emphasized the adaptability of the visa, which enables travelers to spend extended periods of time with their families, interact with their friends, and participate in either business or leisure activities. It was said by him that the plan to provide multiple entrance visas for a period of five years represents a strategic step towards strengthening our already existing ties with India. Not only will this historic milestone make it possible for Indian tourists to have an experience that is both longer and more enriching, but it will also give a platform for further economic partnership.
