Sure, no probs. Would love to... but only if you promise not to laugh at my tattoo (sorry but lots of people think its hilarious that I have "MUG" written on my forehead)...

R U Crazy? Maybe you are... and maybe, just maybe, there's someone who's even nuttier (and kind hearted) out there. best of luck.

Its not all that difficult is it, I waited at Hatta Fort Hotel and had a few beers whilst they popped over the border, will you be doing one next month?
The Customs Official advised the Visa was valid for 40 days!!!! 30 days + 10 day's grace, has anyone heard of this before?

Yes, you always have a 10 day grace period.
You can also get your 1st entry visa extended at immigration for another 30 days without doing a visa run, you pay 500dhs for it. So you can actually stay for 80 days before you have to do a visa run.
30 day visa + 10 day grace period + 30 day extention + 10 day extention

Hi I'm in the same situation you were in a month ago; was wondering if you need to do another one soon and if I can join. In return for you showing me the ropes I take care of transportation and refreshments!

oh damn dude i would have definitely been down with that if only you had messaged me sooner i went a couple days ago but ill be doing one next month so ill come with u then mate, if u need to do one now i can give u a number of a chick who drives people there as a job but if u have transport basically u just cross the border, fill in a form pay them 60dhs and come back its really an easy process u shouldnt have any problems...

heres her number -(SNIP)

just tell her i gave u it but honestly if u have a car id advise just going there ureself its not a big deal ull be fine etc x

Question Re: Dubai to Oman visa Run

Hi Guys,

Just doing my first visa run and wondered if you can give advice ?

Ive sorted out a car from a friend who has gone back home for August. It seems that I need insurance for the car in Oman, of which this car doesnt have and i dont own it !

Do I need insurance ?
If I do, does anyone know if somebody is going between today and the 10th of August that i can hitch a lift from ?

If I dont does anyone want to hitch a lift with me.

Hope someone can help ???
