The UAE on Thursday Sep 14,201 announced a relaxation in visa rules for Indians, which it said was part of strengthening of bilateral ties.
In a statement, United Arab Emirates (UAE)Ambassador to India Ahmed Albanna said the UAE cabinet on Wednesday decided to grant visa on arrival to Indian passport holders with residence visa from UK and the European Union.
The move would be a key facilitator of people-to-people ties between the two friendly countries.
Mr Albanna said that relations between the UAE and India are getting strengthened further and with every passing day a new chapter is being evolved and a strong partnership is taking shape.
As a first step in this regard the two sides inked a MoU on mutual exemption of entry visa requirements to the holders of diplomatic, special and official passports, during the second visit of the Crown Prince to India as Chief Guest during the Republic Day this year.
Earlier this year, the UAE government had announced that Indian passport holders with a valid American visa or a Green Card will now be eligible to obtain a UAE visa on arrival.
The statement said that "there would be some more measures in days to come to further improve the long-term strategic partnership and promote political, economic and trade interests" between the two countries.
