4. Apply Directly Online (eVisa) vs. Using a Local Agent

4.1 Using Amazon Attestation Services (Recommended)

Why avoid unverified local agents?

• There are countless “consultants” on WhatsApp, TikTok, and local classifieds offering unbelievably low fees, only to vanish once they have your money.

• Fake agents typically:

  • Operate only via messaging apps with no official office or landline.

  • Ask for full payment upfront with no proper invoice.

  • Guarantee “visa without documents” or “no sponsor” (impossible under UAE rules).

  • Provide handwritten receipts or personal bank details, not a company account.

With Amazon Attestation Services, you get:

1. 100% Legitimate & Licensed

   • DED-registered in the UAE, Chamber of Commerce member, and fully compliant with local regulations.

2. All-Inclusive Support

   • Tourist, transit, visit, work, family, business, and Golden Visas—any category you need.

   • We handle your paperwork, attestation (if required), airline coordination, and final visa issuance.

3. Transparent Quote

   • Government fees and service fees are clearly outlined. No hidden charges.

4. Pickup & Delivery

   • We can collect your documents from Guwahati, Imphal, Shillong, Aizawl, Kohima, Agartala, or Gangtok.

   • Your approved visa can be delivered directly to your UAE address (if you’re already in the country).

5. Real-Time Updates

   • Track your application status at each stage (airline, embassy, MOFA, GDRFA).

6. Genuine Invoices

   • You’ll receive a proper business invoice—no “paper receipts” or vague bank transfers.

4.2 Applying Online via eVisa Portal

If you’re already in the UAE on a valid residence visa or have a UAE-based sponsor, you can apply directly (without an agent):

1. Register & Fill Out the Form

   • Visit the ICA portal or GDRFA Dubai portal.

   • Select “Apply for a Visa” and choose your visa type.

2. Upload Documents

   • Passport copy, photo, flight itinerary, hotel booking, and bank statement (showing at least INR 1 lakh).

3. Pay Fees Online

   • 30-day visa: AED 350–400 (approx. ₹ 8 000–₹ 9 000).

   • 60-day visa: AED 500–550 (approx. ₹ 11 000–₹ 12 500).

4. Wait for Approval

   • Processing typically takes 3–7 working days.

   • Once approved, download and print your eVisa.

5. Travel to Dubai

   • Show your printed eVisa and passport at immigration. You may receive a physical sticker if required.

Reminder: If you’re not a UAE resident or lack a UAE sponsor, you must apply through an authorized service—like Amazon Attestation Services—rather than self-service.

5. On-Arrival Visa Options

5.1 14-Day On-Arrival Visa for Indians

• If you hold a valid US, UK, EU, or GCC residence visa and are flying with Emirates, Etihad, Gulf Air, Qatar Airways, or Oman Air, you can get a 14-day on-arrival visa at no extra cost (as of 2024).

• Requirements: Your foreign residence visa must be valid for at least 3 months beyond arrival.

  
  

5.2 Free Transit Visa

• If you have a layover of 8–96 hours in Dubai with Emirates or Etihad, you can request a 48- or 96-hour transit visa (often free if booked 48+ hours before departure).

  
  

6. Avoiding Common Pitfalls & Scam Warnings

1. Don’t Book Last Minute

   • Busy seasons (October–March) can push processing to 7–10 days. Start at least 2 weeks ahead.

2. Exact Spelling Matters

   • Names on the passport vs. the visa application must match 100%. Even one typo leads to rejection.

3. Maintain Bank Minimums

   • Banks or immigration offices may freeze your application if your account balance falls below required thresholds.

4. Keep Backup Copies

   • Always scan and store digital backups of your passport, photos, bank statements, and flight/hotel bookings.

5. Choose Verified Services Only

   • Stay away from agents with no license number, no office address, no landline, and no genuine online reviews.

   • Use a trusted partner like Amazon Attestation Services with clear credentials.
