Questions About Travel Doctor Dubai

William asks…

Why would any player, team doctor, journalist or fan even consider traveling to Dubai for the Club World Cup?

Why isn't there a boycott yet? A fan would have to be an idiot to consider going to the UAE, never mind the clubs, which have medical staffs who have to dispense pain-killing and therapeutic drugs to players all the time.

admin answers:

I see. I have personally boycotted dubai.

i am pregnant and travelling to uk on visitor's visa. How can i get a medical certificate from a doctor in uk to travel back from London to Dubai. The airlines requires a Medical fitness certificate issued by a Doctor not before 7 days of travel.

Nancy asks…

what is an Attested Doctors letter to carry medications while travelling?

I know Ill need a letter from my doctor to carry with my prescriptions while travelling through Dubai and Brunei but whats it mean when they ask for an Attestted certified letter? If the letter is an original I dont understand what it means to have it attested as well?

admin answers:

You should carry a letter (preferably on official letterhead from the hospital/clinic/doctor) that states what medical condition you have, what medicines you are on to treat it. The doctor should sign it and include his/her name, contact information and licensing information.

You can then take that letter to have it notarised (attested) at the UAE Embassy where you are from (I believe this is the last step). It's basically a stamp of authenticity.

Remember there are some banned drug items and you may also not bring in more than 3 months supply. Check with the Embassy to be sure before you travel.

Daniel asks…

Traveling to Dubai, what to bring?

I'm going to Dubai in January, what will the temperature/humidity be like?
What should I bring with me (type of clothing, converter for electronics, etc)?
Do I need notes from my doctor for my medications?

admin answers:

The weather is so nice here in dubai during Jan, not too cold and not hot at all, just perfect! Over here, we use the same plug as in UK with the same voltage.

If you are coming in Jan, you will be in the Dubai Shopping Festival. So maybe you dont need to bring much clothes, just bring lots of money! :)

Susan asks…

How many days are needed to see dubai?

hey...my sister is coming home for a short 2 week break and we have one weekend to go somewhere. one of my cousins is living there. my parents are doctors so we could manage a 3 day trip (including travel days) max. All the good travel people help please...

admin answers:

Dubai is a modern place, dont bother going to museum or zoo and stuff.

Spend a whole day in Desert Safari. It is amazing, a Land Cruiser will take to the desert up the hills on a thrilling ride then u can ride a camel or go motorbiking on desert (4wheel bikes) then u will sit on a camp, watch a belly dancer perform, u can also join her :D, and get henna on ur hands and etc and at the end enjoy a fancy dinner buffet.

Next day, go to Atlantis, recently opened, has water park, diving with dophins, aquarium... This is a bit expensive and it depens on ur budget.
So I recommend, for saving money, go to Wild Wadi water park, and u will love it. Next to wild wadi is Jumeirah Beach where U can see Burj-al-Arab, tallest hotel in the world, dont bother going inside(waste of money and time), cause there isnt anything fancy, just take some shots from outside. The hotel is 7 stared and good for staying but has nothing amazing on the lobby to see!! It is just a Lobby!!!

Last day, just go for shopping, I recommend, Mall of the Emirates (u can spend a whole day and also see the ski dubai) or Festival Center. If u shop from Top brands like Cartier, YSL and Saks Fifth so go to Burjman Center. If u dont want shopping, go to Madinat Jumeirah, it is a shopping center but has all the old antique stuff, nice cool place to chill. Many high-classed ppl hang out there and the cafes are a bit more expensive (but worth it ) u can then go for a nice dinner and do Shisha (must do in dubai hehe) and then go to a night club, cause dubai's nightlife is also famous.

But remember, u will be exhausted doing all this, so plan ur trip nicely. Good Luck

DUBAI DEPENDENT VISA?

Hi
I earlier asked about Entry Permit and received complete details from H & mmtzee1. Thanks guys.
Now I have question on my dependent please.

Due to personal reasons my spouse is not accompanying me and will join me later. But her Visitor visa is valid till Mar 18th 2010. I am travelling to Dubai next week with Entry Permit. Please can someone advise me on these
1. How is Dependent Visa called in Dubai - Is it a Residency Visa like what I get or is it Dependent Visa linked to my Residency Visa
2. Can my company apply for her Residency/Dependent Visa while she is in India and I am in Dubai.
3. If she cant come to Dubai by March 18th, what are the options for her to join me.

I look forward for your help as ever.

Thanks
JR

admin answers:

Regarding the new rules, your salary has to be AED 8.000 + accommodation provided or AED 10.000 without. Have your marriage certificate attested in your home country by the UAE Embassy.

1) A residence visa is called a residence visa no matter for whom. An employee got a residence visa, a house wife got one and a child got one.
2) Your company can not apply for a residence visa on your wife's behalf. Only a sponsor (you) can do so.
3) After you received your residence visa, you can apply for a visit visa on your wife's behalf. After she entered the UAE, you will apply for her "entry permit" (AED 500). After that, you can apply for her residence visa.
In case your wife will come here on a tourist visa (30 days), you might run out of time.

What to do:
Come here and get your residence visa.(Your PRO is takingcare of that)
Have your wife coming over here on a visit visa. (You have to apply for that)
Change this visit visa into an "entry permit" (AED 500).
Send your wife for medical check up.
Get your wife's residence visa.

Some more infos you'll find here:
http://www.dubaifaqs.com/visa-residence-dubai.php

Please be aware that you will have to do a lot of running back and forth between Immigration and translation offices. Have enough passport copies and passport pics on hand.

If you think it's over with now - you are wrong. Now you both have to get your National ID:))

Lisa asks…

Rome travel HELP!!!!! Visa, customs, map, restaurants?

Im going to Rome in 2 days and i was wondering do i need a visa?im stopping off in Dubai also. Are there and special custom regulations in Rome/Italy different to those in Australia? I need a map of the CBD of Rome and need some links to good restaurants

Thanks

admin answers:

If you're an Australian citizen and will be in Italy for less than 90 days for tourism, then you don't need a visa - just a valid passport. Otherwise, you can check the visa requirements here: http://www.esteri.it/visti/home_eng.asp

The customs regulations that apply to you will pretty much be the same as for US residents entering Italy. You can find the details here: http://italy.visahq.com/customs/

For restaurants in Rome, you might try: http://www.ilconviviotroiani.com/eng/index.html , http://allefratteditrastevere.com/ , http://www.ilbacaro.com/ , http://www.laltromastai.it/home_en.asp

There are very many excellent places to eat.

Jenny asks…

Traveling, please help ?

hi ,
are there any age restrictions traveling to Dubai from Hong Kong for a business trip.

should the person be over 18 or can he/she travel even though they're under 18 & alone.

some links on Hong Kong travelling terms will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

admin answers:

I'm pretty sure you can travel alone as long as you're over 12 years old. I think it depends on the airline. Call, perhaps? I've travelled alone before I was 18 and there were no problems at all.

If you're under 18, make sure you bring a note from your parents giving permission for you to travel alone.

Questions About Dubai Travel Needs

Jenny asks…

Do citizens of European Union need visa to travel to Dubai?

I am thinking about going for a short while to Dubai for vacation and I'm wondering if I need a vise to do that. I ahve the passport of the European Union. Many thanks in advance, every help is very apprechiated.

admin answers:

It depends from which country of the EU you are from. Please visit the link giving below and see which nationalities are able to obtain a 30 days visa up on arrival.
Http://www.dubaifaqs.com/visa-arrival-dubai-free-nationalities.php

All others have to apply for a visa in advance through a travel agent, hotel or Emirates Airline.

Your EU passport just states that your country belongs to the EU and hasn't any effect on visa rules outside the EU.

Take care.
