Visa and Passport Validity in order to travel to UAE

By tinova

Hello there,

We've booked tickets to travel to UAE through Fly Dubai in the coming week.I am eligible for On arrival visa as my proffession in my PP meets the condition.
The PP & Visa of the wife and son has validity for more than 6 months, my visa has a validity for 4 months and PP 5 months.
At the time of booking the tickets the travel agent told us the validity for both should be 3 months.. and yesterday he informed us it must be 6 months.
We made an enquiry in the UAE embassy here.. they said since you are going as family, you MAY get visa, and they advised us to travel..
We are in dilemma whether to go or not..
Anybody having any idea or similar situations.. please share just for help..We are travelling only for a 5 days trip..
Thanx.

No issues, there will not be any problem in dubai airport, they will issue, however the problem will be in Doha airport, they will be reluctant to issue you a boarding pass, however explain them the issue and will not be a problem

I faced same issue with my last week travel to UAE.In Airport they are cheacking the validity of the visa even me and for my family.I have got validity for 5 months then also he gone to get approval from supervisor before issueing the Boarding pass.Once we board then we dont face any issue in UAE.

Now they make little strict i think before they dont really bother about that.... there is a rule, visa validity should be 6 months.
