If you are coming for a short holiday you do not need to apply for a visa upfront, on arrival you get a visa or visa free entry valid for 30 days with 10 days grace period. You are also given the chance to extend the visas as mentioned above. But If you are planning to stay more than 30 days it is better to get a 90 day prepaid (180 days visa) through a tour operator which is approximately 750-800 AED (204 USD - 217 USD) instead of paying 800-900 AED (217 USD -245 USD) for extensions.

So far Indian nationals holding a US Green card (valid green card) are given an on-arrival visa with the fee (100 AED & 20 AED Service fee) and if you are planning to stay more than 14 or 30 days it is better to get a prepaid visa.

If you overstay on your current visa immigration will allow you to extend it by paying the fines. If you extend your visas, the first day fine remains the same 100 AED (if you exit you have got to pay 200 AED) and each subsequent day will cost you 100 AED. After paying the fines you will be able to extend your stay.

The visitor's obtaining visas through Etihad Airways, Emirates Airline, Fly Dubai & Air Arabia must contact the respective Airlines to extend their visas. If you wish to stay more than 90 days you can contact a local tour company.

At this moment you are left with only one option, to do a prepaid visa and status change (visa change without exit) or find the flight to exit UAE

You will be liable to pay a fine of 200 AED for the first day and 100 AED for each subsequent day.

Local tourism companies provide you 30 or 90 days in country visa, that has a 10 days grace period which gives you 40 or 100 days. If you can't complete your residence visa process (until status change - from tourist to residence) you are liable to pay daily fines. In the other hand the operator who provide you with the visa will be responsible and their permission to issue new tourist visa will be suspended, in order to clear that they will file a escape application with the government applied fee, so you will be absconded and your residence visa application and exit will be denied until you clear the fines and the absconding. If your employer is not understanding your agreement with your tour operator, go ahead and extend your visa or exit the country and then wait for your residence visa

As per Article 11 of the Immigration Law, your daughter cannot work while she's holding a UAE tourist visa. To seek employment in the UAE she should first get a work permit from the MOHRE (Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation) or any of UAE's free zones. After this, a UAE residence visa will be issued by the GDRFA (General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs)

If your daughter is employed with a tourist visa it is considered illegal and the employer will be liable to certain fines. The student who was working on a tourist visa will be deported if caught which is in accordance with clause 1 and 6 of Article 34 of the immigration law.

Keeping in mind all of the above facts, your daughter has 3 options:

• 1. Get a work permit sponsored by her employer even if she plans on working part time.
• 2. Sponsor your daughter to get a residence visa after you have obtained your own residence visa. Once she's under your sponsorship you can submit a NOC to her prospective employer.
• 3. If your daughter is enrolled in an educational institution or university she is eligible to apply for a student visa. She can then seek part time employment by getting an NOC from her university/ educational institution

So far, there is no such requirement of either being vaccinated or having a PCR test to apply for an extension. We highly recommend you apply for COVID insurance when changing or extending your visa in the UAE. However, it is a must to do a PCR before entering Dubai and if you have received the vaccination then there will be certain advantages during quarantine. Travellers must:

• have a valid COVID-19 PCR test certificate issued within 48 hours before departure.
• sign a form agreeing to a 10-day hotel/home quarantine starting from the day of arrival in Dubai. (Source: Emirates)
• Adhere to all the protocols set up in all Abu Dhabi borders if planning on visiting Abu Dhabi. These may lengthen the travel time. (Source Etihad)

From April 29, 2016 GCC resident permit holders must apply for a UAE visa before entering into the UAE. If you need to extend your visa after entering Dubai, we can do an inside country visa for the GCC resident permit holders without exiting the UAE.

Due to the COVID19 pandemic, the border run has been suspended leaving many on arrival nationals with a question mark on the procedures. Please contact the Oman embassy +971 4 397 1000 or Oman police & immigration +968 2 429 0942 for more information or opt for a visa change without exit (slightly costlier than a border run)

We have got this question from many travellers from the USA. After the COVID19 pandemic, it is possible for sudden flight rescheduling or cancelling. Travelling to Dubai is not a problem if you have a flight to get here. You can choose to either use your on arrival visa facility or apply for a prepaid visa before arriving which can be cheaper than doing an inside country visa extension.
