Indian travelers heading to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) must now book both onward and return tickets with the same airline to ensure a smoother experience at Dubai and Abu Dhabi airports. This requirement aims to prevent issues faced by travelers booking return tickets on different airlines and address concerns about individuals arriving on tourist visas with insufficient funds or without a return ticket. Travelers failing to meet these requirements risk being stopped at the Indian airport or stranded upon arrival in Dubai. The UAE continues to refine its travel protocols to enhance security and streamline visitor experiences, and travelers should stay informed and prepared to navigate these new regulations smoothly.
