The guidelines for Indian passengers with a single name on their passports have been updated. Earlier this week, Air India Express said in a circular to travel agents that

“any passport holder with a single name (word) either in surname or given name will not be accepted by UAE immigration and the passenger will be considered as INAD"

— a term that stands for inadmissible passenger.

The Consulate General of India, Dubai, on Thursday issued the amended guidelines in a social media post on Thursday.

• If the visa is issued with more than one name: Passenger may have father's/family name mentioned in the second page.
• For passenger eligible for visa on arrival: Passenger may have father's/family name mentioned in the second page.
