“At this point, it is not clear whether the UAE is allowing people to come on visit visas or not. We are awaiting clarity on that. Also, the government of India is yet to decide whether to allow people to travel on visit visas,” he told Khaleej Times on Monday.
The envoy confirmed that airlines are not carrying passengers with visit visa as of now.

However, it was not clear how the visit visa holders would travel to the UAE as commercial flight operations are still suspended in India.
