Earlier in August, Etihad had said that Indian nationals with a visa or residence permit issued by the US, UK or an EU Member State could visit Abu Dhabi from Indian cities.
Responding to a customer's query, an Etihad Help staffer said: "The UAE authorities have decided to temporarily suspend the Visa-on-arrival facility for passengers who are arriving from or been in India in the past 14 days. We're working to update our website, please keep an eye on the website for latest regulations."
Etihad did not cite a reason for the suspension of the facility, adding that more details would be updated on the airline's website.
As travel restrictions around the world keep changing regularly due to the developing Covid-19 situation, UAE airlines continue to urge travellers to check their websites for the most recent travel updates.
Procedure
An approval from the Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship (ICA) is not required for travelling to the Capital, Etihad Airways has said on its website.
“(Covid-19) vaccination is not a condition of entry but you will need to show your testing status to enter public places,” the airline said.
