UAE Suspends Visa-on-arrival Facility For Passengers Arriving From India

Abu Dhabi: UAE authorities have temporarily suspended the visa-on-arrival facility for passengers who are arriving from or have been in India in the past 14 days, according to Etihad Airlines.

Etihad Airlines said in a tweet that it is working to update its website with the latest information.

“The UAE authorities have decided to temporarily suspend the Visa-on-arrival facility for passengers who are arriving from or been in India in the past 14 days,” Etihad said on Twitter.

The tweet was in response to a query by a passenger whether an Indian citizen holding a U.S. visa can fly to Abu Dhabi and get visa-on-arrival and travel to Dubai without quarantine.

The airline also advised passengers to “please keep an eye on latest regulations”.

The latest travel update is applicable to passengers having a visa or residence permit issued by the U.S., the U.K. or a European Union member state.
