hey buddy ,

i recently travelled to dubai & had some confusion when i arrived there,,,,

At the time of booking the ticket from emirates they told me that there is no such criteria as to what your position is and that i can get visa on arrival .

However the Emirates officials at the Doha Airport told me i cannot get visa on arrival as i am a graphic designer and it is only for :

Managers , Doctors , Engineers , Senior Exe , Directors , Journalists , Media , Sales or Marketing exe.

I was shocked at the info i got from the Emirates booking office , when i told them ( the airport officials ) they made me sign a paper & warned me that the DXB airport authorities might even send me back from dubai ,,,

I continued with my journey and when i reached the DXB Airport , i was told to get a signature from the Manager of Passport control ,,, he gave me the signature ( phew ) , but advised me that its only as s one time courtsy...

So be carefull & best of luck , DXB is such a lovely place ,,,,
