Dubai visit visa rules updated for Dubai and other emirates but will not take effect until 01 August 2008 – several reports in various newspapers this morning. Some conflicting information. Checked Gulf News, Khaleej Times, The National. Will look at more UAE newspapers later. Here are the conflicts I’ve found so far…
Visit Visas not renewable now. Except for GCC residents, and GCC nationals bringing visitors?
Mission Visa – cost is 200 dhs or 600 dhs? Renewable or not?
Multi-entry visit visa – valid 180 days or 6 months (presumably 180 days)? How long between visits do you have to remain outside the UAE? Cost is 1000dhs or 2000 dhs? Renewable or not?
Investor Visa? 300 dhs for 3 years?
Transit Visa? 96 hours or 14 days?
