While other low-cost airlines have stopped operations, FlyDubai is still running several daily flights, keeping Israel connected to the rest of the globe.
Indian visitors who want to visit the city between December 8 and December 14 for the Dubai Shopping Festival are finding it difficult to do so because of the new visa regulations set forward by Dubai’s emigration department.
Last month, the government tightened the conditions for applicants for tourist visas, requiring them to provide proof of hotel reservations and a copy of their return tickets.
Let’s look at the changes made to the visa rules.
Changes Made To Dubai Visa: All You Need To Know
Confirmed Return Flight Tickets: In order to demonstrate their intention to depart Dubai following their stay, visitors must present a copy of their confirmed return tickets. Previously, these documents were needed only if airport officers asked for them.
Proof of Accommodation: Travelers are required to provide documentation attesting to their intended lodging, such as reservations for hotels or other lodging.
Financial Evidence: Travelers must provide evidence, such as bank records or sponsorship letters, that they have the money to pay for their trip.
Requirements for Submission: Applications for tourist visas must be made online or through approved travel companies. Additionally, Visit visas need the same paperwork as tourist visas and can be applied for by individuals, families, or trading companies. Also, the same documents are required in order to apply for both visas.
