Visit Visa - Canadians
Posted by Beena Kapadia at 17:08 UAE time
We are Canadians and we live here. Being Canadians, our children usually get a visit visa on arrival. However, we plan to travel out of the UAE for 5 days and return back. Is the 30 day rule applicable to Canadians as well? Will they not be allowed to enter within 5 days of leaving the UAE??

New Visa Rules
Posted by Anonymous at 15:36 UAE time
It would be appreciated by many if the new law was at least extended so that the spouse could choose their country of origin to either their wife or husbands country of origin. As there are people who have not been to their country of origin in 20 years due to loss of parents and no other family or friends living in their country of origin. They will not even have somewhere to stay while they wait for the visa and their only option will be to stay in a hotel in a country they were born in but have not made a home in and are in fact complete foreigners.

whats the point??
Posted by Taqi Mohammed kabeer at 17:34 UAE time
All our "comments" will make no difference to the "decision-makers",
they are bent on "bending the rules", which we all know for sure will be implemented no matter how much we scream!!!
It's nice to have these "discussion rooms" where we can vent our ire!!

Visit Visa
Posted by jan at 10:23 UAE time
How many people are working in Dubai right now under visit visa?
And will they go back to their country of origin to wait for the proper visa?
Who will pay for the hassle?
The way I see it is businesses will lose money, loose man-hours too much and are they willing to abide by it?
I want to go to dubai to look for work but apparently some other countries are looking more nice already....

VISIT VISA NOT CONVERTED TO WORK VISA
Posted by Salamusasa Ibrahim at 16:36 UAE time
It makes no sense at all, I am a footballer and i have traversed almost all the Continents of the World, i have never seen any Country which changes its immigration rules like UAE. I have always dreamed of playing part of my football carear in UAE especially Dubai. But with these latest rules i will not come to UAE again at least in solidarity with the victims of this latest rules.

New Rules
Posted by African at 09:33 UAE time
I think it is time to wake up and go back home to Africa! To get a visa was very hard earlier on, I can only imagine what it will be like.
Getting a house in Satwa, Jumeira...if you are BLACK is next to impossible.
Listen, I am not playing the race card.... It is so real ..it hurts!!!

Leaving Dubai?
Posted by Saif at 22:43 UAE time
Everytime there is an increase in prices, there is an uproar among the public here and almost all of them talk about going back to their home town? My question: is anybody REALLY going back?? Frankly speaking I don't know of many, but I do know a lot of ppl jumping jobs for huge pay rises. Now coming to the issue of the government increasing the visa charges, I would imagine it's simple economics folks, prices do increase when the demand goes up!

See the outcomes
Posted by Nafees Ahamed at 14:35 UAE time
When the Government of UAE takes policy decison, they should not only think about the desired results, but also the outcomes - so called the side-effects. The involvement of credible experts in this process in UAE is questionable.

Point of view
Posted by Ville at 13:25 UAE time
I pity most people who have spent much to reach this country to look for a greener pasture, I have been in their shoes long time back.
Thought that people in this country are good – enough to help the less fortunate people who happens to belong to
the third world country. I am on a residence visa, but I feel sad regarding this new rule. The scenario will not help Dubai promote tourism but will discourage people from different countries to go here, because of the sudden imposition of this rule. We have not done anything wrong to this country, we just did the right thing to help our family back home and contribute much to your country, as most of our professionals have been here building your country for a long time. We are a contributor to your success!!

Utter rubbish!
Posted by John at 11:08 UAE time
This is just a ploy to get more money... how are they promoting tourism by charging visa when I previously do not have to pay any? Well done! Thanks for helping me to strike off UAE as a place to revisit!
I wonder how qualified and experienced these authorities are when making such decisions. They should seriously humble themselves to learn from other successful nations... like Singapore.

Come on people, the airline industry is having a really hard time. This is a simple way to make people buy more tickets. These boys are more cunning than you think....

Shocking! I start work in a few days, so I thought. I will have to go back home (UK) and wait, which could take how long? This will make life difficult for everyone. What is the goverment thinking, they will lose business and people this way, the growth of the UAE could very much decline.
