Getting a UAE visa is cheap and easy when you go through flydubai. Find out how to get a UAE visa for yourself or a family member.
From 29 April 2016, if you’re a GCC resident (passenger holding a resident visa of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman) travelling to the United Arab Emirates, you will need to obtain an e-visa before you travel. You will not be eligible for visa on arrival.
You can apply for an e-visa through select flydubai travel shops or by visiting the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs Dubai website.
If you’re travelling to Dubai with flydubai from any of our destinations, or if you’re a UAE resident and wish to apply for visas on behalf of family or relatives travelling to Dubai with flydubai, you can contact flydubai travel shops to find out if they can help with your UAE visa application.
Please note: only select flydubai travel shops can help with UAE visa applications. We advise you to contact the travel shops to find out more. Below are the location maps in the UAE:
