Indian Embassy in UAE to Pause Passport, Visa Services for Takeover Transition

The Indian Embassy in the United Arab Emirates is set to pause its essential passport and visa services for a brief period. The suspension will be in effect from June 26 to June 30, impacting routine consular operations for Indian citizens residing in the UAE.

This temporary halt is a procedural step ahead of a significant change in service provision. Al Hind Tours and Travels is slated to take over the management of these services. The transition aims to streamline the process for passport renewals, visa applications, and other related consular requirements for the Indian diaspora.

Embassy officials have advised the public to plan their visits accordingly, ensuring they complete any urgent tasks before the June 26 deadline or wait until services resume. Normal operations are anticipated to recommence following the completion of the handover process, with Al Hind Tours expected to manage these functions thereafter.
