Documents Required to Apply for Visa on Arrival
UAE residents often enjoy visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to many countries due to the UAE’s strong passport policies and residency benefits. For destinations offering a visa on arrival, the process is typically straightforward and happens at the point of entry (e.g., airport, border). Here’s how it generally works:
Passport: Must be valid for at least 6 months.
UAE Residence Visa: A copy or the original residence visa proving your UAE residency (valid for at least 6 months, though some countries accept 3 months).
Return Ticket: Proof of onward or return travel.
Hotel Booking: Some countries require proof of accommodation.
Funds: Evidence of sufficient funds (e.g., cash, credit card, or bank statement), though this is rarely checked unless flagged.
Photos: Passport-sized photos might be needed in some cases (e.g., Nepal).
Fee: Cash in the local currency or USD for the visa fee (varies by country).
How to Check your Eligibility Criteria to Apply for Visa on Arrival?
Embassy Websites: Check the destination country’s embassy or consulate in the UAE for the latest rules (e.g., georgiaembassy.ae, azerbaijanembassy.ae).
Airlines: Contact your airline (e.g., Emirates, Etihad, Flydubai) as they often assist with visa info for UAE residents.
Travel Agents: Many UAE-based agencies can confirm eligibility and handle pre-arrangements if needed.
