The UAE Cabinet has approved regulation to receive entry visas on arrival for Indian passport holders with EU or UK residency who arrive in the country. The decision closely follows an India-UAE Partnership Summit announcement that aims to encourage investment in medium-sized projects.
Following the decision, Vice President of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid said, “I chaired the Cabinet meeting that we started by congratulating over one million pupils in public and higher education in their new academic year.” As of May 1 this year, Indian passport holders with a valid American visa or a Green Card were granted UAE visa on arrival at all ports. The meeting also saw the Cabinet introduce a community service based correctional programme, to encourage rehabilitation through social service for minor offences.
