National Desk:
If you or someone you know is preparing to go to UAE soon, then this information is very important for you. The UAE government has changed the travel guidelines. Under the new instructions, now if only single name is written on any person's passport, i.e. surname (surname) column is empty, then he cannot go to UAE nor can he come from there.
According to the UAE government, both the first and last name must be clear on the passport of all travelers. From November 21, UAE has also implemented this new rule. Quoting the UAE government, a statement has also been issued by the airlines company Indigo.
Indigo said in a statement that, "As per the instructions of the UAE administration, passengers who have a single name on their passport, whether on tourist or any visa, will not be allowed to travel."
However, if someone has a permanent UAE visa, then they will need permission to travel, but for this they will have to get the passport updated by writing the same name in both the first and last name columns. At the same time, Indigo has said that if a passenger needs more information than this, then he can get the details by visiting the website.
Indian airline companies are also giving special advice to the passengers going to UAE. Apart from Indigo, Air India Express and SpiceJet have advised passengers to ensure that the name on their passport is as per the new rule before travelling.
