India e-Visa for UAE Nationals | Categories, Stay Limits and Entries
UAE nationals applying for an Indian e-Visa can complete the entire process online — no embassy appointment, no in-person document submission for short-term travel. The approved Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) is emailed directly to you by the Government of India.
Three main categories are available. The India e-Tourist Visa is offered in 30-day, 1-year, and 5-year options, covering tourism, heritage visits, wellness trips, and family visits across India. The India e-Business Visa is valid for one year with multiple entries, designed for trade, meetings, and commercial purposes. The India e-Medical Visa allows triple entry over 60 days for those seeking medical treatment or Ayurvedic care in India.
There is one important benefit unique to UAE nationals: Emirati citizens who have previously visited India on an Indian e-Visa or regular visa are eligible for Visa on Arrival on subsequent trips — available at six designated Indian airports including Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru. First-time visitors must apply for an Indian e-Visa in advance. This makes getting your first Indian e-Visa faster.
On the 1-year and 5-year e-Tourist Visa, UAE nationals may stay up to 90 days per visit, with an annual cap of 180 days. The e-Visa is non-extendable and non-convertible once issued.

Why UAE Nationals Choose IVC visas for Their Indian e-Visa?
UAE nationals choosing IVC for their Indian e-Visa understand that the first application matters more than any that follow. Emirati citizens who hold an approved Indian e-Visa or a regular visa are eligible for Visa on Arrival on every subsequent trip to India — which means getting the first application right is not just about one journey. It sets the terms for every journey after.
For Emirati nationals, India is a destination of genuine curiosity — Rajasthan's palaces, Kerala's Ayurvedic retreats, the Himalayan trails, the ancient spiritual circuits of Varanasi — experiences that sit entirely apart from the world they return to in Dubai or Abu Dhabi.
That's why, accuracy in Indian Visa applications matters!
IVC reviews every UAE application before it is submitted — checking category, document formats, photo compliance, and passport data. The process runs online and your approved Indian e-Visa arrives directly in your inbox, ready for your trip.
If you are applying for a Regular Indian Visa, you might have to visit 'Embassy of India' in UAE.
