India, Aug. 11 -- Abu Dhabi's Department of Culture and Tourism (DCT Abu Dhabi) has announced complimentary UAE entry visas for eligible Indian passport holders between August 1 and October 31, 2026, media reports said.

The initiative is aimed at Indian tourists booking an Abu Dhabi holiday through participating travel partners and online travel agencies.

Under the programme, eligible bookings must include a minimum three-night stay at an Abu Dhabi hotel along with a return flight from India.

The pilot programme will initially support up to 20,000 visas, according to Gulf News.

DCT Abu Dhabi will cover the full cost of the UAE entry visa for eligible bookings, potentially reducing the overall cost of travelling to the emirate.
