Do you need a visa to transit Abu Dhabi airport?

Upvote:1

I travelled in July-2017 and my transit time was 8 hrs 5 min. There was No Visa needed. I stayed inside the terminal for the entire time.

DO NOT rely on Etihad agents as some of the agents told me that I needed a Visa if my stay is more than 8 hrs.

You need transit visa only if you want to go out from the airport to the city. If you stay in airport, you will be in a transit zone without passing the boarder. In this case you no need to have transit visa.

However, for 14 hours you may see a lot of interesting things in a city. More information about visas you may find there: http://www.abudhabiairport.ae/english/airport-information/check-in-and-passport-control/immigration-and-visas.aspx
