Go to emirates airline agency near lulu hypermarket...they can arrange a tourist visa for you.Will cost you less than 500 riyal but you should buy your airticket from them as well.I've done it before.

In that case.. u have no other option but to get a hotel visa or thru travel agency.

If u really want to enjoy your Eid in UAE which doesn't happen everyday--spend some more.

What to do Yanni?

Soniya is right.. You can always get airport visa in UAE depending on the position in your RP.

I'm not Engineer or Doctor but was able to visit UAE 4x already. I got my airport Visa in Sharjah for only 150dhs. If you're going to get the services of an agency, it will cost you 650dhs.

But expect to be questioned by your airline at the airport..they might even ask you to sign a waiver that if you'll not be able to get airport visa in UAE, they will not be held liable for any cost.

if u have engg . doc or any professional degree you can get visa on arrival. if you want you can also contact any travel agency they arrange it and if possible visit UAE Embbassy but if you have six months valid resident permit you can easily get visa on arrival.so best of luck hope you happy eid holidays

You can get VISA ON ARRIVAL in UAE if the status shown on your RP is of manager or doctor or engineer category(inshort, NO LABOURER category)..
