Changing carriers AND terminal at DXB with an additional scheduled stopover on the return leg

Upvote:1

Several years ago, TSE user @BurhanKhalid offered step-by-step instructions on how to accomplish this:

If your luggage is not checked through, then I am afraid you will have to collect it and to do that you'll need a visa as the baggage carousels are after the immigration counters.

The sequence is:

  1. De-plane.
  2. Depending on the terminal, you'll have a long walk (and then go down a few flights of stairs) or a short one, or really no walk at all (if you are at Terminal 2, as the bus will drop you right at the immigration counter).
  3. The bank counter where you pay for the on-arrival visa will be on your right (Terminal 3, 2), or on your left (Terminal 1).
  4. Go through immigration, then turn right to go through the metal detectors where they will scan your carryon luggage (in Terminal 3 its a straight walk).
  5. Collect your baggage.
  6. Go through either the Green Channel or the Red Channel (depending on what you have to declare).
  7. Welcome to Dubai.

I'm afraid you'll need a visa - the good news is a transit visa is available at the counter if you can show a continuing ticket/itinerary.
