UAE is the top destination for Indian professionals seeking employment. Since UAE is not a Hague Convention member, Indian documents require full Embassy Attestation (not Apostille) for UAE visa and employment purposes.
Why UAE Needs Embassy Attestation?
The United Arab Emirates requires all Indian documents to be attested by the UAE Embassy in India as part of their document verification process. This applies to educational, personal, and commercial documents.
