Add ARY News on Google AAResize ABU DHABI: The Indian Embassy in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday announced new consular service rules for Indian expats in the UAE.
On Wednesday, the Indian Embassy in Abu Dhabi said that due to administrative reasons, both the Embassy and the Indian Consulate in Dubai will start providing consular services — covering passport, visa, attestation and miscellaneous services — in a limited manner from their own premises from tomorrow, July 2.
This comes after the missions extended the suspension of regular Indian passport and visa appointments in the UAE by an extra day, having earlier said that services would resume from July 1 once outsourcing partner Alhind Tours and Travel LLC took over from BLS International and SGIVS Global.
