Indian passport, visa and attestation services in the UAE will be suspended for five days from June 26 to June 30 as the Indian government transitions to a new outsourced service provider. The Embassy of India in Abu Dhabi has announced that Al Hind Tours and Travel LLC will take over the delivery of these services across the UAE from July 1, 2026. Emergency services, however, will remain available during the transition period.
The embassy said existing service providers, BLS International, which currently manages passport and visa services, and SGIVS Global, which handles attestation services, will stop accepting new applications after the close of business on June 25.
As a result, routine appointments for passport, visa and attestation services will not be available between June 26 and June 30.
