Yes, you typically need to show both recent bank statements and current Income Tax Returns (ITR) when applying for a Dubai visa.

- Bank statements: Usually for the last 3-6 months, showing a minimum balance of AED 5,000 - 10,000 (approx. ₹1.13 - 2.26 lakh), subject to change.
- Income Tax Returns (ITR): Commonly required for the past 1-2 years, with a typical minimum annual income of ₹2 lakh.

These documents help demonstrate your financial ability to cover living expenses during your stay. Requirements may vary by visa type and are subject to change. If you need help preparing your documents, contact your LeapScholar counsellor.
