Can a girl under the age of 18 acquire a visit visa for 30 days under the current visa rules? Or is it neccessary for a man to accompany her?
Hi Ameen,
We advise you to check with your local embassy or the airline you are travelling with as they will be able to confirm for sure what the current situation is with regards to the visa requirements for canadians visiting Dubai.
We believe that you will simply receive your visa for Dubai upon arrival but it is always best to check.
You may also be able to obtain a visa through a hotel in Dubai. Tourists can get a visa from a tourist company or a hotel by first making a reservation for at least one night. They must fax/courier the hotel a copy of their passport along with the reason for the visit (tourism is an acceptable reason) and their arrival date.
You must also make sure that the hotel faxes you a copy of the visa when it is ready. Airlines may require confirmation (preferably a fax copy of the document) that a visa is held before check-in at the airport. The original is held at Dubai Airport for collection before passport control.
Kind Regards
