Certain nearest Middle East countries do not allow you to come back to UAE without an approved visa, so your return flight may be rescheduled at the earliest possible. If immigration does not issue the visa for any reason (any technical issue or applicants issue), you have only 48 hours & 48th hour, you must book a flight to your home country & leave the respective airport at your expense; We are dealing with airports & immigration, you are requested we adhere the regulations all the time.

10Absconding
What is absconding? It’s a process of reporting to immigration that the applicant is no longer interested in complying with the term-requested visitor visa days have been fully consumed & overstaying, violating the country’s rules. We then submit a report escape application with the government-applied fee (which can be refunded after individual follow-up) & service Charges.
On one side, your daily fine is running & on the side, our permission with immigration will be refused. Therefore we have no option to hold it than absconding.
As requested by you or your responsible reference person contacted us, we have issued a 30 or 60 days tourist visa, which means, you are permitted to use our visa & stay in UAE for only 30 or 60 days. UAE immigration gives 10 days grace period just to help you with the time window to plan your stay or extend your stay. Please check with the Arabiers team your last day, or calculate, including the entry date; make sure you exit on time. If you overstay, you will be absconded & we will charge you the fines given by immigration. If you are finding a job, make sure the status change has been done the day before your last day. Making an entry permit does not prevent you from accumulating fines or causing issues to our daily operation.

UAE new work week 2023
The UAE immigration will also adhere to the new working week, which has been finalized as Monday to Friday with restricted working hours on Friday. This decision was bought about to support the goal of the UAE to become the region’s most efficient business and economic hub.
Starting from January 1, 2021, Arabiers’ UAE visit visa processing and renewal service will follow the four-and-a-half-day working week with Saturdays and Sundays as weekends. Those who intend to stay in the UAE for a longer period of time should apply for extensions and in-country visas during the new work week, which runs from Monday to Friday. It is preferable to have your extension or in-country work completed before your current visa expires, as well as to have your status changed one day before your current visa expires.

UAE holidays & UAE visa processing
UAE sets out official holidays every year. During the holidays, Arabiers offices & immigration remain closed. We are unable to expedite or process visas during these specific days & we urge all travelers & residents to get their visas done before the holidays.
13
Exit stamps & e-Gates
While you are doing a visa run, or doing airport-to-airport visa change, or exiting for the purpose of obtaining an express tourist visa, make sure you use the manual immigration lines to get the exit stamp.
14
Ok to board
Certain airlines instructed the ECR passport holders & specific nationals to get the confirmation that the visit visa secured is ok to board the flight. We urge all customers to check airline, airport & countries specific rules before planning a trip to UAE. Failure to meet the travel requirements by airport authority will result in loss of flight tickets & inconveniences. Arabiers do not process flight tickets there, for travellers must take full responsibility for ok to board & travel requirements.
