Embassy in Abu Dhabi urges Indians to remain vigilant as flights face disruptions; special arrangements and helplines activated for stranded travellers<\/em><\/h4>\n

TFP Bureau, Abu Dhabi, March 5,2026:<\/strong> The Embassy of India in Abu Dhabi has issued an advisory for Indian nationals residing in or visiting the United Arab Emirates, urging them to remain vigilant and follow the safety guidelines issued by local authorities in view of the prevailing regional situation.<\/p>\n

In the advisory released on March 5, the embassy advised all Indians in the UAE to remain calm and alert, while closely adhering to official instructions and updates issued by the UAE authorities from time to time. The advisory comes amid temporary disruptions to air travel and evolving regional circumstances that may affect movement and travel plans.<\/p>\n

Airspace Restrictions and Limited Flights<\/h3>\n

According to the advisory, airspace restrictions and regular scheduled flight operations continue to remain temporarily suspended due to the exceptional situation. However, to assist stranded passengers, Indian and UAE airlines have begun operating limited non-scheduled flights to several destinations in India.<\/p>\n

These flights are being arranged in coordination with UAE authorities and are subject to operational clearances and safety approvals from the relevant agencies. Stranded Indian nationals have been advised to stay in contact with their respective airlines to obtain information regarding flight availability and travel arrangements.<\/p>\n

Officials said the special flights are being organized primarily to facilitate the safe return of passengers who have been unable to travel due to the temporary suspension of regular air services.<\/p>\n

Relief for Visitors with Expired Visas<\/h3>\n

The advisory also addressed concerns of travellers whose visas may have expired due to the disruption. The UAE Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security (ICP) has announced a waiver of overstay fines for visitors who were stranded after February 28 and could not leave the country due to the exceptional circumstances.<\/p>\n

The waiver applies primarily to tourists and visit visa holders who have been unable to depart the UAE as scheduled. Authorities clarified that the decision aims to provide relief to affected travellers and prevent additional financial burdens during the ongoing disruption.<\/p>\n

Embassy and Consulate Services Continue<\/h3>\n

The embassy further stated that its offices, along with the Consulate General of India in Dubai, are continuing to function normally. Passport services, visa services, and other consular facilities are also operational through designated outsourced service centres.<\/p>\n

Officials assured that Indian diplomatic missions in the UAE are closely monitoring the situation and remain in constant communication with UAE authorities to ensure the safety and welfare of the Indian community in the country.<\/p>\n

24\u00d77 Helplines for Assistance<\/h3>\n

To assist Indian nationals requiring support or information, the embassy has activated round-the-clock helplines. People can contact the toll-free number 800-46342<\/strong> or reach out via WhatsApp at +971 543090571<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Queries can also be sent through email to pbsk.dubai@mea.gov.in<\/a><\/strong> and ca.abudhabi@mea.gov.in<\/a><\/strong> for prompt assistance from embassy officials.<\/p>\n

Government Monitoring Situation<\/h3>\n

The advisory emphasized that the Government of India attaches the highest priority to the safety and well-being of Indians living abroad. Authorities in New Delhi are closely monitoring developments and coordinating with diplomatic missions to address any emerging concerns.<\/p>\n

The embassy noted that both the mission in Abu Dhabi and the consulate in Dubai are in continuous contact with community leaders and local authorities to ensure that the Indian diaspora receives timely information and support.<\/p>\n

Updates to Continue<\/h3>\n

Officials added that further advisories and updates will continue to be issued through the embassy\u2019s official website and social media platforms as the situation evolves.<\/p>\n

With a large Indian community living and working in the UAE, the advisory seeks to reassure citizens that diplomatic missions and government agencies are actively working to safeguard their interests and facilitate assistance wherever required. See here the advisory\ud83d\udc47<\/p>\n
