Visa Types

A hotel where I'll be staying helps me with getting a visa and now I just got their reply which says that I am under-aged (!!!!! I'm 18 years old) and they can't do the transit visa (14 days) unless someone 21+ will travel with me.

Is there any chance that a 18-year-old (which is concidered as a grown-up in my country) could go to UAE alone? I've struggled with this majnoon visa system for 4 days.. :x

Try a different hotel. Try and get a visit visa, or conference visit visa.

A minimum age requirement for different countries was imposed several years ago. Obviously the minimum age requirement for people coming from the Netherlands (which is where I believe you said you come from) is 21.

No, I'm not from Netherlands.

Thanks anyway, I already cancelled everything and now going to another arab country. I'm still very angry coz of that ridiculous age limit, but what can I do. I suppose I'll visit UAE in some other time.

Hi Guys,

Ask the language institute about a student visa. But if you're Italian you get visit visa on arrival (not tourist visa) and can renew visit visa every 30 days by travelling to Hatta and back.

thank you for your reply. I knew about the student visa but this is the school's answer about it :

please be informed that we are not the one who will apply for your visa, however we do offer hotel accommodation, and together with their package is to apply you for a visa. You will pay a certain amount to apply for a visa, but this will not guarantee that visa application will be approved. The visa will be good a month stay.

I don't think you can get a student visa without the cooperation of the institute - who don't sound very helpful. Try another institute?

A hotel sponsors you for a tourist visa, which is valid 30 days and renewable once.

Get the free visa on arrival and renew it at Hatta every 30 days is what I'd do.

Slovak working Visa Oct 02, 2009
Hi Liban,

I guess you're the Master of Visa (having such a great knowledge).
Hope you can enlighten me for the following:

facts: girl, single, Slovak nationality living in Slovakia

looking for a move to Dubai. The thing here is I would not consider a move without a Job (after all IBM is not that bad! :D) but would still like to move.
So I would think of the Employer to take care of the formalities! :lol:
Guess not that easy..

What do you think the difficulties might be? and whether it is possible? :roll:

I have a question if somebody could help me?
I recently moved to Dubai and have just completed my residency Visa, I am returning home for the holidays and upon my return in January I will have my wife and daughter with me.
My question is regarding my daughter as my wife will have a job therefor her own visa.I have been told for my daughter I can sponsor her on my visa by bringing with me;
1: My passport containing my residency visa
2: My daughters passport
3: My marriage certificate (really? I didnt intend bringing this with me)
4: My daughters birth certificate
5: A copy of my salary
6: A tenancy contract (this I do not have nor know where to obtain)
7: My Emirate ID
Firstly is this info correct or is there more paperwork I will need. And secondly if I live with my father-in-law and work for his company will I need the tenancy contract.
Thankyou in advance to anyone with answers... :D :D

2: My daughters passport yes
3: My marriage certificate (really? I didnt intend bringing this with me) yes, properly legalized
4: My daughters birth certificate yes, properly legalized
5: A copy of my salary Salary certificate. it should be issued locally
6: A tenancy contract (this I do not have nor know where to obtain) you should get it from the landlord or the agent that rented out the apartment for you
7: My Emirate ID i do not think this is so important
Firstly is this info correct or is there more paperwork I will need. And secondly if I live with my father-in-law and work for his company will I need the tenancy contract.

Moreover all this stuff should be properly legalized. And believe me it is a hustle))))

Re: Visa Types Apr 29, 2012
HI there, I am looking to come to Dubai to look for employment, I am an allied medical professional. I have family living in Dubai already. I am a UK citizen and am confused about the length of time I can stay in Dubai just by coming through passport control.

Can anyone clarify, I have read everything above but I think it must be late for me or something! :)

I was thinking I would have to come in and out of Dubai until I secured work and had a work visa application approved.

Thank you for your help anyone!!

Have a great weekend.

As a British passport holder, you automatically get 30 days on arrival. To renew this you can just hop over the border into Oman at Hatta, then come back again.
