UAE nationals are eligible for India's e-Medical Visa online. Some UAE nationals who already hold a prior Indian e-Visa or regular visa may also qualify for Medical Visa-on-Arrival at select airports — but this should be confirmed before relying on it, and applying for the e-Medical Visa in advance is the safer default.
