Hi,
I want to know if an expat woman ,unmarried and age 23 , can travel alone from Riyadh to UAE? Are there any restrictions based on the new laws?
Would it be an issue if visa is applied online or do we have to hire a travel agent?

Many thanks

Basically last year, they let her travel alone to UAE even though she was a dependent. However we applied for visa from Pakistan instead of applying online. I’m still confused regarding this

I’m sorry if I wasn’t clear. We applied visa for UAE from Pakistan earlier and she could easily travel without any problems to Dubai

visit visa for GCC resident is different than getting visa from Pakistan. So when visa is applied as GCC resident then sponsor must come with dependents.
