Transit Visa - dda
Transit Visa
A transit visa allows a foreign traveler transiting through Dubai’s airports to enter Dubai as a visitor and stay for a period not exceeding 96 hours.
If you are not eligible for visa-free entry or a visa on arrival, you must apply for a transit visa in advance to enter or stay in Dubai during your transit. You can apply through a UAE-based airline or the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA).
To obtain a transit visa, passengers must have a confirmed onward flight booking outside of the UAE and a valid hotel reservation for the duration of the stay in Dubai. Copies of these bookings must be presented during the visa application process.
