Donna asks…

additional documents required for travelling Dubai?

Dear Friends,

I have received new employment visa through email. For travelling to dubai from my home country, please advise me whether original visa is required before travelling and how to obtain the original visa (either from employer or UAE consulate in Home country) and what are the further formalities and documents required to travel.

Whether my visa need to be fixed in the pass port before travelling and if so whats is the procedure for obtaining the same. Please advise.

Thanks and regards,

admin answers:

For visa related questions it alway would help to know the travellers Nationality.

If your employer processed an employment visa already, this visa will be delivered to Dubai Airport Immigration Center prior one hour up on your arrival. You might be greated by Marhaba Service who takes care of all formalities regarding customs. No prior visa and no other documents required.

Some Airlines departing from certain countries request a copy of the visa waiting for you in Dubai. If your country belongs to it I do not know because you do not say where you are coming from. Just assuming that you are coming from India - no, that's not the case for you.

Your passport is the only needed thing. Everything else is taking care of in Dubai.

Take care.

Questions About Dubai Travel Agency

Nancy asks…

Will anyone tell me some travel agencies which are helping to get Dubai Visa?

i am an Indian, currently in china. I want to visit UAE for that i need visa. So will someone suggest me so travel agents contact details who are providing Dubai visa cheap & very easily. Plz tell me ASAP. Guys thanks do much in advance.

admin answers:

There is not such thing than buying a visa up on arrival. Nationals who do not need a visa in advance, enter free and the other is a transit visa, but you are not on transit.

I don't know where your problem is. If you book your vacation through a travel agency which offers flights/hotels in Dubai, they also should be able to obtain a visa on your behalf because otherwise they would loose business. In case you book your flight and hotel by yourself online, all 5 star hotels provide their guests with a visa.

In case I misunderstood something or didn't get your question right, sorry.

Questions About Dubai Travel Facts

John asks…

Is it okay to travel to Dubai being gay?

I have some close friends who are a gay and are want to go to Dubai. From what they have told me, they are very respectful of the muslim way of leaving. We have been talking about the differences between western and middle eastern societies and they both agree that Muslims have their right to decide how the life is going to be in their places, what you can do and what you can't do. They don't drink, they don't bother about dressing according to the Islamic rules for men... The thing is they're gay... but they say they are not going to engage in any public shown of affection at all, not even hugs, nothing, in fact, they are always very discreet.

Anyway, they are a little bit scared because all the rumours about Dubai being a dangerous destination for gay people. Someone even told them that the police would make them an interrogation and might check their rooms every day to see if there is any kind of proof that they're gay. They won't tell anyone they're are gay and they don't want to do 'anything gay' (they're not interested in finding partners, they just want to be there for the tourists stuff). They just want to do a little bit of sightseeing in Dubai and stay at the beaches and resorts.

Is it safe?

What can they do and what shouldn't they do?

Any extra recommendations for them?

admin answers:

As long as you don't show any sort of public displays of affection and avoid sexual relations during your visit, you'll face absolutely no trouble at all, even if anyone knows you're gay. Just as long as you "keep it in your pants", everything's gonna be just fine.

Ken asks…

is it fine to be a christian but comfortable in dubai?

i'm traveling to dubai with my uncle because he's an architect and needs some help. my faith is christian- protestant and my knowledge is that the persian gulf is sunni islam.

now i respect islam a lot. in fact islam mentions jesus favorably in the quran and think highly of him. so will the persian gulf be okay if they know i'm christian? we won't only be there in the UAE but also Qatar

admin answers:

UAE and Qatar are both very tolerant to westerners. You have nothing to worry about.

Be careful Dubai has many bars and very cheap alcohol, but you can be jailed if you get caught drunk outside the bar, in public places.

And if you are to visit these place in the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, avoid eating and drinking in PUBLIC places during daylight hours. Its ok to eat inside cafes, restaurants and hotels. Only for the month of Ramadan ie:

Sandra asks…

Gay in Dubai?

I am gay, and want to travel and perhaps live in Dubai, United Arab Emirates someday. I am obsessed with that country/city, as you could probably tell from my name, گطلع which is Kyle in Arabic. I am curious as to anybodies stories that live there or have lived there, and being gay. I am not overly worried, they are the most liberal of all the Middle Eastern countries, but can help think about their fading homosexual laws, where we are condemned by death.

admin answers:

Hey Kyle, don't your worry, in the UAE we are not condemned by death, all we face is to be put out of the country. There are very many gays in Dubai, very ! Go to any shopping centre and you'd think this is a gay paradise.

I almost lived in Dubai but saw it was really not my country so did not accept the job...

Good luck !

1. 220 voltage.

she's talking to me as a friend .... i tell her is there something wrong ? i will be back soon and marry u ... she's always muted ... never speaks.

i was in shock no idea what's going on.
i even cancel my buniess and head back to my country to see what's wrong with her..

she says that i will help u to remove this pain... but when i touched her ( i see flashes that another guy sleeping with her.. and she's not mine anymore )

Is this the true meaning of love ?
by being suffer like that. >_<`

admin answers:

If she cheats once, she will do it again. It's this trust, conscience broken. If she was okay with doing it in the first place, she doesn't really love you. I know it feels like you will never get over it, but you will. And then you will find somone who deserves you. Not someone who is that low down and sleezy. You could be with someone better than her.

Questions About Dubai Travel Articles

Mary asks…

is this normal, yearning to travel?

I'm only 14 but i cannot wait until I'm older purely so i can travel.
I want nothing more then to visit new places and see something new. It's not like I've lived in a small village my whole life either, I live in Dubai and I travel in and out of England all the time.
But I still want to see the world. I don't just want to visit it and go on the tourist tours.
I have a box filled with travel articles and photo's from around the world and a map in my room covered in pins of where I want to go, sometimes I just sit and watch a movie purely for the location

Anyway, is this normal? This feeling of desperation to travel? Or am I just bored?

admin answers:

Yeah, I feel like that a lot. I want to save up a lot of money and just explore the world, but I don't know how I'd ever make enough money. I have a map like that too.

It really sucks, you have your whole life of working and then towards the end when you're too old to enjoy it and the world's a totally different place is the only time you have the money or freedom from responsibility to travel properly.

i am zimbabwean, and live in the uk. do i need a visa to visit Dubai for 10 days?

i have been living in the uk for the past 10 years. i just fancied travelling to Dubai to see a friend who is working out there. i am ever so confused by all the conflicting information; i recently came across an article saying that the UAE was now open to accepting people from all over the world on a tourist visa, as opposed to the visit visa there was before. however, i have not seen any websites that reflect this....
it seems i would have to ask my mate to apply for me, as a sponsor etc...
its all so long winded, and complicated
do i have the wrong end of the stick?

admin answers:

If you are holding a british passport you can get the visa on arrival. If you are a Zimbabwean you need to get the visa through any travel agents or hotels.

British Citizens
Residents of the UK, with the right to abide in the United Kingdom, may obtain a free visa on arrival, which is valid for 60 days and can be renewed for an additional 30 days for Dhs. 500 (US$ 137). Holders of the British Overseas Citizens Passport, who dont have the right to abide in the UK, will also obtain the free visa.

33 Privileged Countries
There are 33 countries that are given the same on arrival free UAE visa on arrival similar to UK citizens. These countries include citizens of France, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Austria, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Portugal, Ireland, Greece, Cyprus, Finland, Malta, Spain, Monaco, Vatican City, Iceland, Andorra, San Marino, Liechtenstein, United States (US), Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Brunei, Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong. A new law was passed on March 31st 2003, where the citizens of these 33 countries can only obtain a one-month non-renewable visit visa on arrival, which costs Dhs. 100 (US$ 28). Though the government officially passed this law, it does not seem to be always implemented


For residents of other countries, the visa must be sponsored by an individual, such as a relative, or an establishment. The application is submitted by the sponsor with all required documents.

How can I open a locked site?

hey, im from lebanon, i travelled to Dubai for a vacation, when im surfing the net, there are many websites that they are locked only in dubai bcoz in lebanon i can open all that websites, soo are there any solution or idea to unlocked these website ? :) thnx

admin answers:

The best solution would be to setup a VPN proxy. You can either do that to your home system; or if you don't know how to do that then subscribe to a service like hidemyass.com. That service will allow you to connect to a proxy server in another country using an encrypted VPN tunnel. Since the tunnel is encrypted, no one can see what you are accessing or from where. All they can see is the connection between your computer and the server. All of your browsing and other Internet activity would appear to come from that server, rather than the IP of your current connection. So it also insures your privacy.

Questions About Jobs In Dubai Travel Agency

Lisa asks…

i like travelling a lot, cruise ship jobs?

i love learning cultures, languages, right now im working in dubai, can i look out for company which provides me a job as a tour guide or reporter so that i can travel a lot. whom should i contact to get cruise ship jobs, any employment agencies in dubai

admin answers:

The human resources department of the individual shipping lines would be a natural. They will know what the rules are regarding your passport and visa for such jobs. My guess is you need to have a clean record all around, but you may not have to get all that much documentation if you do not leave the ship in foreign ports. If you do, you will clearly need the permission of the country of the port. The shipping company will know what is required.

To be a reporter, the thing would be to go to work for a local newspaper that does a good bit of wire service news. They will want their best, most experienced reporters to do the foreign assignments, but some of the best will have had enough of traveling, so they need new ones, too. If you can go along as an assistant with a good senior reporter, you will learn the ropes. Again, all this depends on whether you can get a passport and visa for wherever you want to travel.

I do not see the point to an employment agency, unless the shipping office tells you they only work through an agency, in which case they will give you the name and address of the agency.

Of course, much depends on what skills you have to offer such an employer.

Carol asks…

heed help in correcting my essay?

My english teacher wants me to write about the difficulties i have faced learning english and has my attitude towards English changed? my english is not that grate even though i have written a paragraph about the difficulties i have faced learning English. i don't know the proper way of writhing in essay format. i would really appreciate your help.


My name is *********. I was born in a middle class family in India. My father is a respectable person in the community and my mother is a teacher. Since I was a child, my parents always wanted me to become an engineer by enrolling me in English high school. However, I India where I lived there were no English schools. When I was four years old I was enrolled in Gujarati School which was a local language school. After two years, my parents moved to Bombay because of lack of business and for my education. I was enrolled in English school from grade second in Bombay. As I was a small kid, I started learning new things and liked doing different things like painting, craft, sports but I disliked English language even though fellow students giggled at me. I always had problems understanding grammar and never got good marks in English. My teacher always called my parents complaining about my poor grades and bad performance in school. My father never shouted at me even though I was bad in studies but he always used to tell me that one day I will realized how important English language is. As time went by, I finished my grade tenth but didn't’t get good marks so I dropped from my school without finishing grade 12th. My father was angry but didn't’t say anything. I started helping my father in his business since I was out of school. For almost eight years I helped my father in his business but for some reason my father had to close down the business. After the closing down the business I didn't’t had anything to do so i started looking for job but never got one. Everywhere I went the employer wanted a college graduate which I was not. As I was 24 year old I started realizing how big mistake I did by not studying English and not finishing my studies but it was too late. In India once you are twenty you cannot finish your high school. I had to compromise with my life and I started working in a small company and the salary was not so grate. Nothing looked grate in my life and was loosing my confidence. Luckily, I was hired by a travel agency as a tour guide, taking the travellers to Dubai for their vacation trip but even there English was required which I was not proficient. While on my trip I met a girl who was from London. We became friends and got married. She sponsored me and I went to London. The reason behind going to a new country was because for my studies hoping one day I will finish my qualification and live a good life. But it was not an easy task. Even after four years studying was not an easy task especial English. Learning English language was a tough job for me. Teachers were excellent and new their stuff but I did not know any of the words or their meanings. I left the class with a miserable feeling that I had never felt before. But I had to move on and had to finish my courses. i had to changed my self in order to learn English even though I hated

Well, indention and separate paragraphs would be a start.
Usually there is an introduction(beginning), 3 middle paragraphs, and an ending/conclusion. The body paragraphs can change in number, depending on the purpose for writing, but usually there are 5 total paragraphs.

I'm not sure if this is what you're asking, but i hope i helped!

Maria asks…

cancellation of Dubai,UAE Employment Visa.?

i have worked for a MNC Bank in UAE for 45 days as a relationship manager and was given a 3 year resident Visa on the basis of my employment.
After 40 days i resigned from my office, and due to suspicious behavior of the HR Officer, after another couple of days i decided to rush back to my country(india) before he could unnecessarily delay my return.
Since the Dubai,UAE visa on my passport is not cancelled, can i still travel to UAE and get a UAE Visit Visa?
Also, what implications are for travelling to Gulf areas for employment in future?

admin answers:

Expatriate employees who leave the country without cancelling their sponsorship and residence visa are liable to get a one-year ban from the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs. Once the ban is imposed they will not be able to get any visa during the ban period. They should therefore cancel their sponsorship and residence visa before leaving the country in order to avoid such problems.

You have to mail your passport to your forme sponsor for visa cancellation. Be aware that you will receive a ban, coz you did not fulfill your contract.

Employees who get a one-year ban from the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs can obtain a visit visa or transit visa during the ban period. However, if the Department of Immigration imposes the ban, no visa can be obtained. You should therefore check the source of the ban and apply for the visa accordingly.

Take care.

Ruth asks…

U.S Visit visa for a Pakistani residing in Dubai?

I wanted to know that I have been risiding in Dubai (UAE) since last 3 years. My current designation is "Marketing Manager" drawing AED:7,000/- per month. My sponsor (UAE national) is willing to sponsor me to get U.S visit visa, as he already has 10-years U.S visa stamped on his passport.
Can I apply under his sponsorship (as a Guarantor)? Should he travel with me or I can travel alone after getting visa? And from where I should start and what documents I should present at the time of interview?
All detailed guidance will be solicited, please.

admin answers:

An UAE citizen can't sponsor your in USA and of course you can travel by yourself after receiving your visa.

You 8ave to apply for a visa at t8e US Embassy or Consulate.


Applicants must demonstrate that they are properly classifiable as visitors under U.S. Law by:

Evidence which shows the purpose of the trip, intent to depart the United States, and arrangements made to cover the costs of the trip may be provided. It is impossible to specify the exact form the documentation should take since applicants' circumstances vary greatly.
Those applicants who do not have sufficient funds to support themselves while in the U.S. Must present convincing evidence that an interested person will provide support.
Depending on individual circumstances, applicants may provide other documentation substantiating the trip's purpose and specifying the nature of binding obligations, such as family ties or employment, which would compel their return abroad.

Questions About Dubai Travel Places

Joseph asks…

I wanna travel to Dubai, interesting places?

admin answers:

Lots of interesting places. In the Summer the huge shopping malls (air-conditioned) are nice to walk around & have a drink. The Mall of the Emirates has the Ski-Dome inside, which is a must see. The newly opened Festival City Centre has live music in the evenings outside at the Canal Walk restaurants.

Souk Madinat Jumeirah is also a place you have to go. Modern covered shopping in little 'old souk' style streets. In the evening dining next to the canals where the electric abra's transport the hotel guests to Al Qasr hotel. Go to the Bahri Bar in the Mina Al Salam hotel next door and take some pictures from the Burj Al Arab. Later at night (around twelve) you should visit The Trilogy my favorite discotheque. Or go to Boudoir or The Peppermint.

Go for the nicest local sheesha place with arabic live music to La Marquise behind Shangri-La hotel.

Dinning at the Creek is great at the Boardwalk restaurant (Creek Golf Club). They have also a very nice sheesha seating with modern lounge music next to it.

The Barasti Bar at the Meridien Mina Seyahi is the only beach bar in Dubai and the most popular with residents.

Wild Wadi is a water park next to Burj Al Arab, not only for kids.

Ofcourse only 7* hotel in the world is a must see. But visiting the Burj Al Arab Hotel is not just walking in. You must make a reservation beforehand and that includes a minimum dinner or high tea spending.

Chris asks…

Is there anywhere more peaceful and arabian like that you can travel to from Dubai?

I have a hire car and looking for other interesting places to go when I'm in UAE.

admin answers:

You should absolutely drive to Fujairah and even stay the night, it's on the coast and the drive from Dubai is very nice through mountains and parts of the desert.

For a real Arabian desert drive take a trip to Liwa Oasis. The UAE has some of the most beautiful desert landscapes in the world and it's a shame because nobody usually takes the time to go see them and you can't really see it from the cities.

Both of these places are well worth visiting and far away from the crowds of Dubai.

Check website below for more info on the UAE.

James asks…

Is Dubai an expensive or cheap travel destination and what makes it a desirable place to visit?

I am more interested in nature then nightlife and fancy hotels and restaurants. So, tell me about the simple pleasures of Dubai please.
How are Americans treated there?
Do they realize that many Americans oppose the U.S. governments choices too!

admin answers:

We don’t hate Americans; in fact we don’t hate anyone. You should ask Americans who live in here for years if we do hate Americans. My teachers were mostly Americans, who lived here for so many years.

NOTE: Not only Americans live here there are more than 200 nationalities “if not more”

So,

Dubai is cheap relatively to other top destinations, shopping is marvels, if you like nature or ECOTOURESEM I would suggest the following:

go to ALMAHA resort in the desert, you will have a tent shaped villa with a swimming pool, and also you will have the chance to see so many desert animals such as almaha, falcons, lizards, camels, desert foxes, and many others.
Go to http://www.al-maha.com/

also you could go to BAB ALSHAMSE, a castle like resort that will take you back 100's of years and you will have the chance to see the life in ARABIA at that time.
Go to http://www.jumeirahbabalshams.com/

you should also visit Jumana at the SAHRA resort they have a wonderful show every night.
Go to http://www.alsahra.com/jumanahome.htm

you should also go to Le Méridien Al Aqah Beach Resort in alfujairah 100 KM far From Dubai, it is a resort on the Indian Ocean, magnificent views and cool beach sports - you should go scuba diving. And then on the way back go to AlSharjah natural museum and have the chance to see the EXTREMLY rare ARABIAN Lapereds.
Go to: http://www.starwoodhotels.com/lemeridien/property/overview/index.html?propertyID=1901

also in city of Dubai go to the museums and shop and have wonderful nights, in dubai you should visit:
1) Dubai heritage village
2) Spices market
3) Gold souq
4) Dubai Creek Tour
5) Shopping malls
6) Wild Wadi
7) Ski Dubai
8) Burj Alarab
9) Madinat Jumairah
10) Hatta
11) Sand Dunes 4x4 trip
12) The list want finish!!!!!
