Yes, Indians do need a visa for Dubai. I recently went to Dubai on a tourist visa, and I applied for a 30-day visit duration visa, which cost me nearly $100. If you apply for a 90-day visit visa, the cost is approximately $220.

    Indian citizens need a valid visa to travel to Dubai by any means. The type of Dubai visa needed will depend on the purpose and length of your stay. Also, you can even extend your tourist visa in Dubai, for which you will have to apply for an extension before the expiry of your current visa. Keep in mind that the extension is subject to approval from the relevant authorities.

    Of course, Indians need a visa to visit Dubai, and they can use online platforms or travel agencies to get their visas before their journey. Also, individuals holding specific types of visas or residency permits from some other country may have different entry requirements. So, it's always better to check the latest requirements before planning your journey to avoid any issues because the policies keep changing.

    Yes, Indian citizens do need a visa to visit Dubai. You can apply for a tourist visa, which is valid for 30 days and can be extended further. There are also other options like a 14-day visa, a 90-day visa, and longer-term visas.

    Guys, if you do not have a residence visa from any GCC country on your Indian passport, then yes, you will need a tourist visa to visit Dubai. Only those who have a US green card and UK citizenship are allowed to have visa-free entry to Dubai. Getting a Dubai visa is quite an easy task if you have a relative or a friend who works in Dubai, who can send you a sponsor visa.
