Can I get a 30 day Visit Visa extended at DXB Airport?

Sadly, a quick trip to Oman is out of the question

If not at DXB Airport, will the Immigration Dep be open on Saturday?

drive up to hatta it will be quicker than going to the airport.

I don't know if you can get a visa extended at the Airport - maybe the e-gate office (24 hours) can help but don't count on it. Try the Immigration Department near the trade center roundabout today - they're open until 8pm I think. Sometimes they're open on Eid holidays but shorter hours, try something like 10am-1pm. Not usually open on Saturdays. Phone them to check.

For the record; I did a visa run (canadian) to Hatta, oman. Went through no problems.

I figure they need all the people they can get to stay in the UAE.

You can go down to DNRD in Bur Dubai for a visa extension - around 600Dhs for 1 month, should be no problem as long as you came in through Dubai

If you are Canadian, you did a "good" visa run. Mallus, Kabayans and Bengalis do "bad" visa runs, so they are not allowed in before 1 month.

^ You think that's still the case given that tourism is down 50%?

Just asking... I figure they need all the people they can get to spend money here.
