On arrival visa is obtainable at the port of entry for professionals. The cost of this Visa is 180 Dirhams ( If you are entering through the airport) and 100 Dirhams if you are going by road.

Hi,

getting a UAE visa on arrival isn't easy when you go by road. Especially the dates you have mentioned. Its the peak time the people are returning from Hajj and you would find unusual traffic at the Saudi and UAE border. That's one thing.. The other thing is that, you will have to go for a retina scan ( If you haven't done before) before you get the visa. After these things are done, it is only 100 Dirhams for the Visa, unlike the 180 Dirhams at the airport.

Happy Journey!!!

Hi Shyams,

Thanks for the info. I would like to drive to Bahrain as you did...Bahrain is is like my second home...as I lived there for around 5 years.

Could you please give me the name of the agent who would do the Saudi visa processing?

Thanks

Ajith

last week i been to Bahrain on road. it was very easy and hassle free. you approach the agent for saudi visa, and you will get it in two days.. and thats it, hit the road and burn the fuel to reach UAE border and get the on arrival visa.. then u go.. as simple it is..
