I am an Indian citizen travelling from India to Dubai on a tourist (visit) visa. I heard that as per the new UAE visit visa rules, I must show a bank statement at the departure airport. Can you please confirm how much balance I need to show in my bank account? Also, is it acceptable if I show a family member’s bank statement, and does it matter if the statement is from an Indian or UAE bank? Please advise the minimum required balance in Indian Rupees.

As per the latest UAE visit visa regulations in 2025, Indian travellers flying to Dubai on a tourist visa are required to show a valid bank statement at the departure airport in India. This is part of the airline’s verification process to ensure you have sufficient funds for your stay.

Minimum Balance Requirement:

  • You must show a minimum bank balance equivalent to AED 3,000 to AED 3,500.

  • In Indian currency, this equals approximately ₹75,000 to ₹80,000 INR.

  • The bank statement should be recent (last 1 month) and clearly show your name, account number, and balance.

Accepted Bank Statements:

  • Statements from Indian banks are accepted if they meet the above criteria.

  • Some airlines also accept bank statements of immediate family members (like spouse or parents), especially if you are travelling together or dependent on them.

  • In some cases, UAE bank statements of a family member may also be accepted, especially if they are sponsoring your trip — but this depends on the airline’s discretion.

Additional Tips:

  • Carry both digital and printed copies of the bank statement.

  • Ensure your passport name matches the account holder’s name, unless it's a family member and you can prove the relationship (with passport, visa, or other documents).

  • Check with your airline in advance (like Air India, Emirates, Indigo, etc.) as the enforcement of this rule may slightly vary by airline.
