Indian passport, visa and attestation applications in the UAE moved to Alhind Tours & Travels’ 16 Indian Consular Application Centres from 22 July. Indian applicants should use the new booking portal and confirm the latest centre instructions before visiting.

The details

Indian passport, visa and document-attestation services across the UAE moved to Alhind Tours & Travels from 22 July 2026. The new arrangement uses 16 Indian Consular Application Centres across the seven emirates and introduced a new online appointment route.

The change followed the expiry of the previous outsourcing arrangements and legal uncertainty around the procurement process. The Indian Consulate said applicants with upcoming appointments should use the new booking platform and check current guidance before attending a centre. The transition affects a large resident community and is a practical service change rather than simply a provider announcement.

The service arrangement should be treated as time-sensitive: applicants should verify locations, appointment rules, fees and operating status through the Indian mission’s current notices before travelling.
