Hey there,

I'd like to visit Dubai, but I have Israeli visa in my passport. Will this make me impossible to enter Dubai?

As far as I know you can't have an Israeli stamp in your passport. If you get a second passport that is free of Israeli stamps you will be fine. I think lots of businesspeople who need to travel all over the Middle East including Israel use the two-passport technique to avoid problems.

You cannot enter the UAE with an Israeli passport or with an Israeli stamp on any passport (used or un-used).

The two passport solution is the only one to use. I don't think that is permitted on a Canadian one though.

It doesn't really help you because you already have a stamp but for future reference you can ask the Isreal visa office to stamp on a seperate paper, they'll do it and when you are done travelling "lose" that paper.

You should check with the UAE consulate but i'm actually pretty sure you can get into the UAE with an Israeli stamp.

I think it depends on which nationallity you are as too the consequences of having a Isrealli stamp in your passport.

dont worry about it. Technically its not allowed, but they dont care. I know of a filipina who had a one page israeli visa on her passport and the UAE immigration stamped the entry stamp right on the opposite page of the passport.

The only countries who are still really strict about this are Saudia Arabia, Syria and Lebanon.

a while back I went to see Al AQuds and other mosques in Palestine,

advise was given to me not to have stamp in which I was able to

follow going into Israel from Egypt, however going back into Egypt

I somehow ended up with the Israeli stamp .

I had to change the passport when i got back to Canada (am canadian national).

My advise is if you can avoid the problem of having the visa in your

passport do so also it will depend on who you (immigration personnel)

meet at borders and the sound and or spelling of your name.

I think it wont be permitted,if u have a new passport too,governments are not stupid,Uae will know that u had a israil visa on ur passport,informations will be stored on comp. systems.
