UAE Transit Visa

The transit visa is for travellers passing through the UAE on the way to another destination, according to the UAE Government portal. It is available as a 48-hour option and a 96-hour option, and is sponsored by UAE-based airlines and arranged before travel. The portal describes the 48-hour transit visa as free of charge and the 96-hour transit visa as carrying a service fee of AED 50. Whether you need a transit visa depends on your nationality and itinerary, so confirm what applies to you with the official guidance before you book.
