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.

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 Offers

Lisa asks…

Can I travel with my wife who was offered a job in Dubai?

My wife was offered a job in Dubai and I wonder if I we can move to Dubai together. Will I get a work permit as a dependent? Will I have a right to stay in Dubai with my wife before I find a job for myself?

admin answers:

The answer (yes or no) depends on your nationality and your wife's profession/position and her income.

As a dependent you will not receive a work permit automatically. This can only be obtained when you get hired.

As a national who is able to obtain a visa up on arrival, you can come together with your wife, stay for 30 days, extend for another 30 days and then go on a visa run.
If you have to apply for a visa in advance, you can only obtain a tourist visa through a travel agency or hotel because your wife isn't able to sponsor you before she received her residence visa.

Female engineers, nurses and teachers are able to sponsor a husband. Other professionals needed a basic salary of Dhs 3000 + housing or Dhs 4.000 without. The financial requirements maybe have been increased. Additional your wife has to provide a NoC of her employer and decent accommodation in her name to sponsor you.

As soon as you land a job yourself, the sponsorship needs to be shifted over to your employer. A husband is not able to take employment under his wife's sponsorship.

Thomas asks…

Emigration clearance not required (ECNR) Stamp required to Travel to Dubai from Qatar?

I have been working in Qatar for the last two years. Now i got an offer from a UAE firm & they arranged me an Employment Visa(entry permit for Employment). I'm an Electrical Engineering Diploma holder. I don't have a ECNR stamp in my passport. (passport is with my employer). Will I be able to travel to Dubai without the ECNR stamp? Is this stamp required only when you travel from INDIA?

admin answers:

ECNR stamp is a rubber stamp seen only by Indian authorities while departure from an Indian airport. If you have a UAE employment visa, you can enter that Emirate (Abu Dhabi, Dubai or Sharjah, as the case may be) directly from Doha.

Mary asks…

Savings accounts in Dubai... which one offers the best interest and can remain open if I leave the UAE?

I need an account I won't need to close when I eventually leave the UAE. I won't be going back to my home country, so I don't want an account there. I'll be traveling around. I want an account here that would offer the best interest and one I don't need to close once I leave.

Any help / suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

admin answers:

HSBC and Emirates don't require a residence visa for opening a savings account/keeping a savings account as a non resident.

In order to keep the account as a non resident the bank will request:
Proof of your new address

Current interest on a savings account with HSBC is 0,10%

Ruth asks…

i have an employment offer in dubai,uae dirham 4500/month plus free accomodation and travel allowances.?

is it a good employment offer?
the contract states that they will give me a residence visa...

admin answers:

Dear first of all you have not mentioned whether you are going to bring you family along ? It depends on how lavishly you live here in Dubai and what are ur expenses b'cose Dubai is a city where a person can save from 5K Dhs/- and can also spend 5K Dhs in a week. I am not discouraging you but the fact is cost of living in Dubai is really very costly b'cose accommodation rising every year.
You said company is going to pay ur accommodation and transport but what about some other expenses , as you have not mentioned whether ur company is going to pay or you have to pay from ur pocket -----
1) health expenses as private hospitals are very very expensive
2) electric ,telephone,Internet and water bills
3) toll tax known as salik here
4) air fare becose generally everybody get air fair every 2 years here.
5) family visa
there are many other small small expenses which you will come to know after coming here.
If you are single then the salary is ok but if you are bringing your family with children along then I would suggest do sign a contract after having a healthy discussion with your sponsor, b'cose the fact is schooling is very very costly here and in case you want to send ur child to an international school then coming here with this salary is not worth enough.
Gd Luck
You'r free to ask any query reg dubai i'll be happy to answer.

Questions About Dubai Travel Online

Michael asks…

How do we find there is ban exists after cancellation of UAE employment visa? Any online facility is there?

I am an Indian worked in Dubai last year and canceled visa due to some personal matters. When I traveled back to India I was informed that after 6 months I can come back to UAE by an Officer. Now a company started processing my visa but informed me that I have still ban with UAE labour. How do I know about the ban period. Any online facility or contacts are available?

admin answers:

If there will be any ban it will be written on your passport. Well as per my knowledge 6 months ban is automatic after cancellation means you can't go for employment visa for 6 months but you can come back on visit visa on second day itself.

But if you have money and there is any company who can sponsor you you can remove the ban and it will cost you around 2000 to 3000 (not sure about the exact amount) but it can be remove as I done this last June after cancellation. But my company pay for the charges so I am not aware about it

Hope the above will help you

John asks…

Can I check in Online for a flight departure?

I heard that I could check in online for a flight going to Dubai from Ny, I also heard that doing so, I can get a window seat or a preferred seat. Is it true that I can get a preferred seat online. If i do check in online do I still have to check in at the Airport to drop my luggage or something. This is my first time traveling.

Please help,
Thankyou !!!!
It's emirates flight

admin answers:

Most of your questions are impossible for anyone here to answer, because you don't mention what airline you're flying. Most airlines do offer on-line checkin, which allows a person to print his or her boarding passes and select his or her own seat at home, but not all airlines offer it for international flights. (This is because airline personnel need to check to make sure that travelers have the proper paperwork in order to travel.)

If the airline does allow on-line check in, some of them don't allow premium seats (such as bulkheads and exit rows) to be selected -- those must be assigned at the airport by those airlines -- but some might. Again, the answer depends on the airline.

The only answer that someone can give you here that is not airline specific has to do with checked luggage. If you're allowed to check in online and do so, you'll still have to go to the ticket counter when you get to the airport in order to check your luggage with them. For the rest of the answers, though, it depends on the airline, so you'll probably wish to check the website of the airline you're flying to see whether they allow online check-in on international flights or not.

William asks…

I have a Valid California Driving Licence; Can I drive in Dubai?

I hold an Indian Passport, a Valid USA VISA & a California Driving License. I don't have an indian driving license.

I am on vacation and in India right now; planning to travel from India to Dubai on 29th Sept; Do you think I can drive in Dubai?

[Heard that I can drive if I have an International Drivers Permit for tourist visas; but I dont have one and not sure if I can apply via AAA online and get it via e-mail]

Pointers please!

admin answers:

In order to drive, UAE residents must obtain a UAE driver's license. Foreign driver's licenses are not recognized. However, U.S. Citizen non-resident visitors to the UAE can drive using a valid driver’s license issued by his or her state. An international driver’s license is no longer required.

However it is questionable whether the authorities of the UAE will accept a US driver's license of an Indian passport holder. You should check in advance to make sure.

Questions About Dubai Travel Visa Cost

Sandy asks…

How could one verify the authenticity of a DUBAI WORKING VISA and which organizations could help in verifying?

If the visa issued to a Filipino prior to receiving the plain ticket states VALIDITY: 2 MONTHS and the WORK POSITION/ DESIGNATION on this supposed visa states differently from the actual position offered by the employer, could this be bogus even if the applicant was interviewed in person by the foreign principal? Shouldn't the visa have at least 3years validity? I've read in one travel guide book that some applicants who had employers were issued a 2-month visit visa WHILE the resident/working visa is underway as this process is very tedious and takes a long time. Is this true? The recruitment agency justifies the irregularity in the POSITION because some employers opt to declare a position that would cost them lesser fee in processing the visa but would still honor the agreed position during the job offer to applicant. Is this true?

admin answers:

Employment Visa or work visa shall be issued by the Immigration Department for a foreign national in order to work in a company in Dubai after the approval from Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs. Employment permit/visa allows the holder to enter UAE once for a period of 30 days and are valid for a period of 2 months. When the employee entered the country on the basis of the employment visa the sponsoring company should arrange to complete the formalities of his residence stamping. It is the preliminary stage to arrange for the health card and medical fitness examination for the employee from a government health center. The employee must undergo for a medical test and obtain a medical certificate. Once the medical certificate is issued by the health department an application for Labour Card should be submitted to the Ministry of Labour & Social Affairs within 30 days of the employees entry into the country. The next step is to submit the application to Immigration Department for stamping the residency on employee's passport. All the above formalities should be completed within 60 days of the arrival of the employee in UAE.

Normally the authentication is not necessary for Dubai visas. You will get only the copy and the original visa will be submitted to the airport before arrival. If you still need to verify, then contact the UAE embassy or consulate in your present country of residence; hope they will help you.

All the best.

Chris asks…

Is an Australia / Dubai visa needed?

If I am to travel to Australia from the UK as a UK citizen, will I need a visa? Does it have a cost? And if the scheduled stop is in Dubai, do I need a separate visa for that?

admin answers:

For Australia - ETAs are no longer available to UK citizens. They must now get an eVisitor visa for which there is no charge. Apply online at:
http://www.immi.gov.au/visitors/tourist/evisitor/

For Dubai - Citizens of the UK (with right of abode in the UK) will be granted a free of charge visit visa on arrival in the UAE: Passports will be stamped with the visit visa as you pass through Immigration at any airport in the UAE. Although the visa may be stamped for 30 days, it entitles the holder to stay in the country for 60 days and may be renewed once for an additional period of 30 days for a fee of Dh500.

Linda asks…

What does a flight to dubai costs?

I want to travel from Egypt to Dubai im 18yrs old with my brother 16 yrs old i need to know what the flight will cost and will i need a visa or not?(departure only)

admin answers:

I don't understand your question. What's your purpose to come to the UAE? As tourists you need to obtain tourist visas through a travel agency or a hotel. Round trip ticket needed.

In case you want to visit a family member living here, he/she has to apply for a visit visa on your behalf. Round trip ticket needed.

Why only one way? Do you plan to stay here? If yes, I don't understand why you asking for a visa. In this case your sponsor should take care of necessary steps and apply for the proper entry permit to obtain a residence visa.

Cheapest price for an adult and a 16 years old is USD 453,00 total.

a friend of mine is there...and the purpose is just travel..or visiting a friend...
plz let me know...i am from india..

admin answers:

The best and fastest way for you to have it is ask your friend in RAK to do the following ASAP:

1. Scan and you send a copy of your passport by email and a separate passport photo of yours to your friend.
2. Have them printed and ready.
3. Ask your friend to go to a travel agency and have yourself book by her along with a visit visa cost. Your friend will act as an sponsor on your behalf.
4. The travel agency will then require your passport copy and a photo for visa application and the e-ticket shall then be issued for you.
5. The e-ticket will then be sent to you by email and it's available in the airport of your departure.
6. The visit visa original copy has to be sent to you by courier so you can have it ready the moment you arrived in the UAE via Dubai or Sharjah or RAK Airport. (RAK Airways has now a flight direct to Bangalore)


The approximate cost of the above is about Dhs. 2500 - 3000 including Visit Visa and a return ticket to Mumbai or Delhi.

Good luck !!!
