UAE Visa On Arrival Experience !

Our recent experience at Abu Dhabi for Visa on Arrival.

We landed at Abu Dhabi and all were holding valid US visas. On reaching the immigration at airport, we were directed to counter no 3 where Visa on Arrival with a valid US visa was processed against a charge of approximately AED 107 (Rs 2,650) The whole process was completed in less than 5 minutes which took care of the visa payments and immigration process.

The important points to bear in mind are :

  • Visa on arrival is available for holders of valid US/UK/Schengen visas which must be valid for a period of at least 6 months from the date of departure from the UAE. 
  • The passport must be valid for a period of minimum 6 months from the date of departure from UAE.
  • Payment of the UAE visa on arrival fee can only be made by Master or VISA cards. Please ensure the card is enabled for international POS/tap transactions.
  • The specific counter for the Visa on Arrival is Counter number 3 at Abu Dhabi Airport, it will be very on other airport like - Dubai, Sharjah, Ras Al Khaima airports.

This visa is much cheaper and, to our surprise a quicker immigration process as not many use this service.
