Indian Missions in UAE Launch New Online Appointment Portal for Consular Services

The Embassy of India in Abu Dhabi and the Consulate General of India in Dubai have launched a new online appointment portal for passport, visa, and attestation services to streamline applicant access.

The Embassy of India in Abu Dhabi has introduced a dedicated online appointment portal to manage passport, visa, and attestation (CPV) services for Indian nationals across the UAE. This initiative, also implemented at the Consulate General of India in Dubai, aims to facilitate smoother processing for applicants.

How to Book Appointments

Applicants can now book appointments through the official online portal: https://book.passportindiauae.com. New appointment slots for the following working day are released every evening at 8:00 PM. To manage visitor flow and prevent overcrowding, individuals with confirmed appointments will be allowed entry 15 minutes before their scheduled time. Generally, only the applicant is permitted inside the Embassy or Consulate premises, with an exception for minor applicants who must be accompanied by both parents.

Entry and Service Locations

In Abu Dhabi, individuals seeking CPV services should use the Main Gate on Al Safarat Street. For other consular queries, including document delivery, services are handled at the Consular Wing, Unit No. 101, 1st Floor, Guardian Tower (Technip Building), Al Ishirah Street. The Dubai Consulate General requires applicants to enter through Gate No. 1, and no walk-in applications will be accepted there.

However, the Embassy in Abu Dhabi will continue to offer limited walk-in services from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM, primarily prioritising newborn cases and Emergency Certificate applications.

Important Applicant Information

Applicants are advised to arrive with fully completed application forms and all necessary supporting documents. Passport application forms can be filled out online at https://mportal.passportindia.gov.in/mission/. It is crucial to carefully review instructions regarding photograph, signature, or thumb impression uploads, ensuring a clear white background. All applicable fees must be paid in cash, and applicants are encouraged to carry the exact amount. The revised passport fee structure, effective from July 1, 2026, will be applied.
