❓ Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A Method)

Q: Can Indian citizens get a Visa on Arrival in Dubai?

A: Yes, but only for specific categories. Indian nationals with a valid US Visa, US Green Card, UK Resident Permit, or EU Resident Permit (valid for at least 6 months) are eligible for a 14 day Visa on Arrival. All other tourists must apply for a visa beforehand through an agency like Rengha Holidays.

Q: What is the "Ok to Board" (OTB) requirement?

A: Some airlines require an "Ok to Board" update on your PNR to ensure your visa is valid. Rengha Holidays handles this verification process for you with the respective airline.

Q: My passport expires in 4 months. Can I apply?

A: No. UAE immigration strictly requires a minimum of 6 months validity on your passport from the date of entry. You must renew your passport before applying.

Q: Does Rengha Holidays provide travel insurance with the visa?

A: Yes! It is highly recommended (and often mandatory) to have travel insurance covering COVID-19 and medical emergencies. We can bundle this with your visa package.
