Quick answer: yes. Indian travellers can use UPI to book At the Top, Burj Khalifa through its official ticket site and participating experiences, including Universal Studios Singapore, through Resorts World Sentosa. You can book before travelling. For Singapore, payment partner FOMO Pay says visitors pay in Indian rupees and the merchant receives Singapore dollars. Check the final amount in your app before you approve. The announcements cover online bookings. They do not confirm UPI at the ticket counters. The Ministry of Finance announced the rollout on 30 October 2026, after partnerships announced on 29 July for the UAE and 9 September for Singapore.

This guide uses the Ministry of Finance release, the Emaar and NEOPAY announcement and the FOMO Pay announcement. We have not made a booking for this guide, so we have not tested a particular bank, UPI app or checkout screen. Details change, so confirm them on the booking site. This guide is independent and is not run by any attraction or payment company. Checked: 10 November 2026.
Booking Burj Khalifa with UPI
The announcement from NEOPAY, NPCI International and Emaar Entertainment says visitors can book experiences at At the Top through its official ticket website using UPI, and complete the purchase online before arriving in the UAE (NEOPAY announcement). Book on the official site, since that is where UPI acceptance has been announced. Other resellers may not offer UPI.
Booking Universal Studios Singapore with UPI
FOMO Pay says Indian visitors can use their UPI apps to book and pay for participating experiences on the official Resorts World Sentosa website before their trip, through UPI QR code acceptance (FOMO Pay announcement). Book Universal Studios Singapore tickets at Resorts World Sentosa. The announcement names Universal Studios Singapore, the Singapore Oceanarium and Adventure Cove Waterpark as attractions there. It says visitors pay with their local banking and payment apps in Indian rupees, and the Singapore merchant is settled in Singapore dollars.
The announcement does not list every supported bank, the exchange rate you will get or the exact screens on each device. It also does not say that every ticket type or package is covered, so look for UPI at checkout for the tickets you want.
What the announcements do not say
- Counter payments. The announcements cover online bookings. They do not confirm payment at the gate either way.
- Which UPI apps and banks work for these payments.
- Any fees, limits or the exchange rate you will receive.
- Whether the option shows for tickets bought through travel agents or in bundles.
Treat UPI as an option to look for at checkout, and keep a card as a back-up until you have completed a payment. If you are an NRI paying with an Indian account, see our UPI with an international mobile number guide for how UPI works with an international mobile number.
Practical checks before you pay
- Open the official booking site yourself instead of following a link from a message or social post.
- Check the amount in your UPI app before you approve it, and keep your bank’s daily limit in mind for a large family booking.
- Save the attraction’s booking confirmation and admission ticket as well as your payment reference. A payment QR only starts a payment. The booking reference or ticket is what gets you in.
- If the payment shows as successful but no ticket arrives, check the booking status or contact the attraction before you pay again.
