Do I need a transit visa at Dubai International Airport (DXB) for an international connection

Accepted answer

Nope, You do not need a visa for an airside transit at Dubai. Just for the record, even if you had different terminals on DXB you would still not need a visa.

TWOV (Transit Without Visa):

Passengers with a confirmed onward ticket for a flight to a third country within 24 hours. They must stay in the international transit area of the airport and have documents required for the next destination.

However, if you have a transit time of more than 8 hours you can also obtain a Transit visa on arrival and go enjoy.

Visa Issuance:

E-transit visas can be obtained before departure. Passengers must have a printed e-transit visa confirmation and they can transit for a maximum stay of 48 hours.

The passengers must transit for at least 8 hours.

Passengers can obtain a transit visa at Abu Dhabi (AUH), Dubai (DXB), Ras al Khaimah (RKT) or Sharjah (SHJ) for a maximum of 96 hours. The passenger must:

  • transit for at least 8 hours; and

  • have onward ticket to a third country; and

  • have a passport valid for a minimum of 6 months from the arrival date.

Visas are only issued as a part of a transit package together with hotel accommodation and airport transfer.
