Sharjah/Dubai - visa question Sep 27, 2006
Hi,

I'm planning to go to Dubai to set up/enhance business connections there. Airarabia.com is offering discount flights to Sharjah - my question: On arrival in Sharjah I would be issued a 60 day "Visit Visa" which would be valid for Dubai as well, is that correct?

Anything else I need to consider in this regard before I come to dubai?

Thanks a lot & best regards

Jens

Yes, you will be issued a Visa for the UAE, which is valid in all UAE Emirates. Similar if you flew into Los Angeles and wanted to go to New York.

Ian, what the heck are you talking about? Sharjah and Dubai are on separate worlds and you need a special "world visa"!

Maybe a silly question,OK, but am new to the Emirates and wanted to be 100% sure everything works out and I'm not stuck at the customs when I should be meeting clients/partners :wink:

Take no notice of Cons, Ian is correct in what he told you a visa issued in Sharjah is valid in all of the 7 Emirates.
