Home to more than 200 nationalities apart from the native citizens, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has one of the highest populations of immigrants in the world. A significant part of the people travelling to Dubai comprises Indian nationals. Visiting the land of skyscrapers, human-made islands, luxurious hotels, and shopping malls is full of thrills. Dubai has a lot to offer, and you will enjoy every bit of your stay in this city. Although it is a city with a big heart, yet high medical costs are a concern.
Any kind of emergency, be it medical or non-medical, can knock on your door at any time while travelling. Thus, it is always good to keep yourself secured with Dubai travel insurance from any mishap that you may face. Medical treatment is not at all free in Dubai. You have to pay heavy bills if you ever need to be hospitalised for a medical emergency during your travel.
Dubai travel insurance is mandatory for Indians as well as other foreign citizens. It provides you with much-needed coverage in case of unexpected medical and non-medical emergencies. You can buy dedicated COVID-19 insurance or a comprehensive travel cover to ensure financial and healthcare security during your trip.

If you plan to visit Dubai, you should be aware of the various types of UAE visas available so that you are well informed which one to apply for. Here are some of the basic types of UAE visas discussed below:

The applicant must have the permit before leaving the country of origin.
Transit Visa: If the applicant has connecting flights with a wait time of more than 8 hours, this visa is required. In the case of a transit visa, the applicant must leave the country within 96 hours.
Employment Visa: This is a work permit issued by the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation. This visa is valid for two months from the date of issuance. This visa allows foreign workers to work in the UAE and is considered necessary.
Residence Visa: After you have received an employment visa, the next step is to obtain a residence visa. This visa allows you to get an Emirates ID and makes you a legal resident of the UAE. The Emirates ID allows you to bring family members into the country.
