Indians travelling to the UAE are required to have their full names on their passport to be allowed entry to the Gulf nation, as per the circular sent by IndiGo to travel agents on Monday.
The circular states, “As per instructions from the UAE Authorities, effective 21st November 2022, passengers with a single name on their passports travelling on tourist, visit or any other type of visa shall not be allowed to travel to/from UAE.”
This means that both first and last names need to be clearly declared but the passengers travelling to the UAE on residential or employment visas are exempted from the rule.
“However, passengers with a single name on passports and in possession of a residence permit or employment visa shall be allowed to travel provided the same name is updated in the “First Name” and “Surname” columns,” the statement by Indigo airlines added.
