The authorities of the United Arab Emirates have informed business partner IndiGo airlines that as of Monday, passengers with a single name on their passport travelling on a tourist, visit, or other type of visa will not be permitted to enter or exit the UAE.

This calls for the explicit declaration of both first and last names. According to the statement, “Passengers having a single name on their passports travelling on a tourist, visit, or any other type of visa shall not be allowed to travel to/from UAE, effective November 21, 2022.”

According to the statement from the low-cost carrier, the authorities of UAE also said that however, passengers with single name on passport and in possession of a residence permit or permament visa shall be allowed to travel provided the same name is updated in “first name” and “surname” column.

However, travellers having a single name on their passports and those with a work permit or other visa will be allowed to travel as long as the same name is updated in the “First Name” and “Surname” columns, according to the carrier’s statement. Additionally, the airline advised customers to speak with their account manager or visit goindigo.com for more information.
