Over four million Indian expatriates in the UAE will see a significant shift in consular services starting July 1, 2026. Alhind Tours and Travels has been awarded a major contract to operate 16 new service centres across all seven emirates. These locations will handle passport renewals, visa applications, OCI card services, and attestation. The move follows an international tender process and aims to improve accessibility for residents outside of central Dubai and Abu Dhabi, with major hubs planned in areas like Sharjah, Fujairah, and Ras Al Khaimah.
