India has made it simpler and faster for travelers from the UAE to visit by expanding its visa-on-arrival service. Now, instead of six airports, nine airports in India offer this facility! The newest airports added are Kochi, Calicut, and Ahmedabad. The original six airports are Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, and Kolkata. But hold on! Not everyone from the UAE can grab this golden ticket. Only certain travelers are eligible. To use visa on arrival, you must have had an Indian e-visa or a regular visa before, even if you did not use it. That means first-time visitors should still apply for an e-visa before coming to India. Other important rules include having a passport valid for at least six months, and your stay cannot be longer than 60 days. Also, if you have Pakistani roots, sorry, but visa on arrival is not an option for you. Instead, you must apply for a visa through Indian missions. Why this exciting change? India wants to welcome more visitors from the UAE, one of its fastest-growing markets. This move will help those traveling for fun, business, medical care, or conferences to come last minute without hassle. It's a big boost for ties between India and the UAE, making travel smooth and stress-free!
