what about original iqama to be carried or just copy is enough

They need Iqama, even Saudi/Etihad/Emirates won't allow you to fly from here if you dont have original iqama

HrGuru.. forgot to mention the country. its in Dubai,UAE.
Now my profession has being change to Secretary by my sponsor.

Can i get visa on-arrival...

On-Arrival visas are for professional like docs, engrs, marketing specialists and consultants etc; white collar professionals is what they call it. I think hard chance.

no idea, to be discussed with airport or uae embassy in saudi

before that u dont need original iqama to go dubai but abudhabi u need it

cannot . As the visit visa is based only from saudi to dubai(GCC only) but not from india/pakistan .

if u really wants to go ---go dubai 1st and then fly to pak else u will end up with problems..

Yes, dependents can travel to Dubai alone. The easiest way is to go through Emirates and ask them to arrange the visa. They'll do it all.

How about Sales Rep travelling with family (dependents)? can they easily travel and get visa upon arrival to Dubai?

If you carry original iqama's, yes you will get on arrival visas.

I'm a Graphics Designer here in Riyadh (Advertisement and Media Designer in my Iqama). I wanna go to Dubai in October. Do you think I can get an on-arrival visa? If not, then should I apply for one at the UAE Embassy here?

Thanks in advance.

check the uae embassy site for list of allowed professions that can get visa on arrival. If yours is not there then you can apply for the visa.

As a global rule, 6 m validity is minimum. not a day less!

minimum 6 Months validity required , else they will  issue visit visa but stamping embassy will check ur status of passports.

k.if  i get visa can any body stops me while traveling.granting visa means no problem i think.

i need only visit visa.if they granted is there any problem while traveling with 5 months valid passport.

If you already have the visa issued then no one will stop you from traveling.

if u possess valid UAE visit visa/tourist visa, its no problem to move

I am a 17 year old Pakistani passport holder. I live in Khobar, Saudi Arabia. My father is a petroleum engineer. I have a saudi iqama. I want to travel alone (without my family) to Dubai for tourism purposes. What will I require to make this possible? I am under 18.

First you have to check your iqama status.If it is professional designation, you can visit Dubai on arrival visa. however age also to be checked with UAE embassy /airport to confirm your travel in advance as you said 17.

your dad iqama profession is no way concerned to you as you will be travelling alone...

if not allowed you will not be given boarding pass hence confirm prior to book the ticket..

Your iqama profession is student if i am not mistaken, hence a visa on arrival in Dubai is not possible unless you show that you are studying there. you can approach the Dubai embassy or emirates airlines and they will advice you properly.

Many students visit Dubai on visas arranged by Emirates Airlines.

Hi friends.........
                    I want to travel dubai next month. I am working as a chemical engineer and my nationality is indian and i am having iqama of engineer. Please tell me for on arrival visa need IQAMA original or a photocopy is sufficient?

Take the original along.

HI Haroon,

Thanks for useful information.

I am planing to visit UAE via Silla border along with family. We all got more than 6 month valid visa and aqama.

I am working in government sector as Lecturer, is it possible we can get visa on arrival without any hesitation because it is first time I am travelling by road and i heard that they do not have such facilities on border immigration. Is it true?

As you mentioned you been twice UAE and you went through border as well so i just need to know couple of things:
- When did you visit via border?
- What was you profession?

Another Query about Rent A Car:

Can i take rent a car to UAE?
I already spoke with rent a car company and they agreed to issue letter from Vehicle dept.
Does any body have rent a car experience?
please share

Regards,
Azam Shigri

1- as people have said before. call the UAE embassy in riyadh and ask them

2- Yes you can take a rental car over the border, but they need to give you a paper that you take to the Traffic police office, and they will give you a paper that allows you to take the car over the border

Dear All,

I read the blog and it is really helpful. Kindly, can you please provide me with the maximum information regarding travelling to Dubai by car. Like, how many entry points are there on the KSA - UAE border? How long does it take from Khobar to Border and Border to Abu Hail area? What are the requirements on the border? Is there any problem if the profession on the Iqama is different from the passport? What about the traffic system and fines and penalties there? What is Salik card and from where i can get it and use it.

Please, this is my first time to visit to Dubai, so, provide me with as much information as you can.

Thank you

Take some time to read throug this thread. Almost all your answers are there.

Thanks brother

Dear Brother,

Can you please give me the Batha / Silla Border from where you confirmed about your profession because I want to do the same before I go their.
