Multiple Entry Visa: UAE Embassy

Business Travellers Dept: The requirement for Canadian citizens to obtain a visa to enter the United Arab Emirates is new, so it is causing some confusion. To complicate matters, people who fly on Emirates usually obtain their visa by applying online through the airline, while other travellers deal directly with the UAE Embassy in Ottawa. For what it s worth, the embassy has a clear explanation of its visa policies at www.uae-embassy.com/Visas.html , according to The Star. You want to do this after a few days, so the system is pushing you to get a multiple-entry visa. But those are expensive. The embassy says the application fee for a multiple-entry visa right now is $1,000 because that document is aimed at business travellers who are entitled to make up to 10 trips. So you will have to decide if it is worth it to you to apply for the multiple-entry visa or convince someone at Emirates or the embassy to try and help you resolve the situation another way. For future reference, Canadians travelling on Emirates who have visa concerns should contact the following email address: dvpccustomersupport@dubaivisa.net . You can also call Emirates at 1-800-777-3999. (My daughter lives in Dubai and I am planning to visit and travel with her. We will spend two days in Dubai, then travel outside the UAE, then return to Dubai for three days. I applied for a tourist visa with Air Emirates but it is a single-entry visa and now I need a transit one for the first two days before we travel. Do you know how I go about doing this? Air Emirates does not seem to know. I have tried the Embassy in Ottawa but received no response. The trip is getting close and I am worried that we will not be able to leave Dubai.) As for your question, it would seem you do need a different kind of visa for Dubai if you plan to arrive, then leave the country and seek to re-enter after a few days. The tourist visa that you have is for a single entry. And you can t simply apply for a transit visa and use that for one of the trips. Transit is for those who are simply passing through. Technically, when someone enters Dubai and leaves, they cannot seek to re-enter under a tourist visa for a month. As reported in the news.
