To apply visa for yourself: From the left menu click the top most option: GCC Residents
For your wife and kids, use the second link named 'GCC Citizen - Accompanies'

By the way, in both forms there are professions of HOUSE WIFE and STUDENT/NOT ALLOWED TO WORK

6/7 days based on a friend's experience last week.

You can check status of your request on the same website. There is nothing else which you need to follow up on.

Is it required to get online visa for Dubai or does it gets stamped on arrival?

On-arrival have been stopped since 15 Sep 2015. You have to arrange one online; ahead of travelling.

The best thing is take the flight to UAE & apply at the airport. Believe me it's so easy there.
I too applied online & wasted my money as they didn't responded until 1 month. & when i reached sharjaha airport i got visa in 2 minutes.

I have heard that online visa is temporary on-hold. Will confirm tomorrow through travel agents.

Its been a week and status of online visa is still under process and its the same for many who applied earlier. What I heard is that those travelling through Emirates or Flydubai get visa on arrival.
