The UAE airport-to-airport visa change option is popular among visitors whose visa is about to expire or whose cancelled residence visa grace period is about to end. This visa renewal method allows visitors to change from their old visa to a new visa and remain legal in the UAE. Local tour operators usually partner with Flydubai and other airlines through Dubai airport to complete the service.
You will fly to the closest Gulf country airports, such as Muscat, Kuwait, Salalah, Bahrain or Sohar, and then fly back to the UAE after the new visa is approved. Once the visa is ready, you will receive it via WhatsApp or email, go to the immigration counter, and enter the UAE.
