Guide updated: 27 September 2026
Special Condition
Qualifying foreign documents; confirm the authority and route
Requirement: Conditional entry visa
ICP's Indian ordinary-passport categories list US/UK/EU visas or residence, a US Green Card, and residence permits from Japan, South Korea, Australia, Canada, Singapore and New Zealand. GDRFA Dubai's 14-day terms instead specify UK/EU residence visas and require 6 months on the qualifying document. This official-source difference is unresolved; confirm a UK/EU visitor visa with the relevant authority before travel.
Key Information
Key Requirements
- Indian ordinary passport with at least 6 months validity
- A qualifying foreign document accepted for the selected conditional route
- Standard tourist-visa applications require health insurance and a travel ticket under ICP guidance
Step-by-Step Application Process
- 1
Confirm your foreign document and entry route with ICP or GDRFA Dubai because their eligibility wording differs
- 2
For an ICP online conditional permit, submit the application and documents, pay the fees and receive approval
- 3
For a standard tourist visa, use a licensed tourism establishment and its applicable checklist
Documents Required
- Passport, personal photograph and copy of the qualifying foreign document for an ICP conditional application
- For standard tourism: health insurance, travel ticket and any additional route-specific documents
Pro Tips
- Distinguish the deadline to enter from the deadline to leave
- Check the approved category and fee breakdown before travel
- Do not assume that every foreign visitor visa qualifies for entry
Important Notes
- • ICP conditional permits allow entry within 30 days; the permitted stay starts on entry
- • Only the 14-day conditional category has a same-length, one-time extension; the 60-day category is non-extendable
- • ICP lists AED 250 for that 14-day extension and separately lists application fees; confirm the full quote with the issuing authority
- • Standard tourist health insurance is a requirement; the cited ICP FAQ does not state a minimum coverage amount
