Musafir.com has launched an online visa application service – the first of its kind in the UAE.
The UAE-based premium travel website now allows users to apply for tourist visas to 15 destinations worldwide, including the UAE.
It is the first travel provider in the GCC region to introduce this service online. Under the simplified procedure, applicants submit their application documentation and payment directly on to the website post which the visa will be processed and emailed back to the customer, ready to be shown at the immigration section of the airport. This new product is expected to increase in inbound as well as outbound travel.
This new product launch aligns with the UAE’s ambitious Vision 2021 that encompasses all elements that lay the foundation of a smart city, inclusive of the smarter travel industry. With the recent change in the UAE visa norms for GCC expats, travellers into the UAE from the GCC countries will now have to apply for their visa prior to their travel. With this product flexibility, there will be a noticeable shift of visa applications online.
“We are very excited to be launching this convenient new visa application service that will play a key role in attracting, even more, visitors to the UAE,” said Sachin Gadoya, managing director and co-founder of Musafir.com.
“We believe it’s imperative to make the travel process as easy as possible for the customer, and introducing this new product for visas prior is a milestone in our firm’s objectives of providing premium travel experience.”
