Abu Dhabi launches a programme that covers the cost of UAE entry visas for eligible Indian travellers. NDTV reports that the Abu Dhabi Department of Culture and Tourism (DCT Abu Dhabi) pays the full cost of entry visas for qualified reservations made through participating travel partners and online travel agents. The programme runs until Oct 31.
Times of India adds additional conditions for eligibility, saying the initiative applies to bookings made from August to October 2026. It also reports a minimum requirement of a three-night stay in Abu Dhabi. The stated goal across coverage is to make travel easier for Indian tourists by encouraging more bookings through approved channels.
Across the outlets, the core point is consistent: Abu Dhabi’s tourism authority covers visa costs for Indians under a limited-time offer tied to booking through selected partners and agents. Differences are mainly in the specific booking window and the minimum stay requirement.
