As a tourist your allowed to stay 60 days in Dubai but ive heard you can have that extended to 90 days does anybody know how this can be done ? As its either that or i drive to Oman

You simply apply at the Immigration Office for a month extension costing AED500 I believe. You may not be allowed to do this more than a couple of times.

well i wish someone had told me!...did a visa run last friday and it was a bloody nightmare.

pauldxb

Why did you do a visa run ? Are in the same situation as me ' not married ' & your partner has the residents visa ?

pauldxb

Is the immigration office the one in Jebel Ali where you recieve your residents visa ?

MissDemeanor

Yep...living in sin.

lionheart

I went to the one opposite Zabeel Park.

pauldxb

Ok so there is obviously more than 1 immigration office ?

pauldxb

Good Girl ! How long have you been here ? Have ever had any problems coming back into the UAE or do you think they know what your doing & they just turn a blind eye ?

pauldxb

Do you fly or drive to Oman ? Oh no you cant drive can you ?

lionheart

If there was only one, it certainly wouldn't be in Jebel Ali, the armpit of Dubai

MissDemeanor

the other half drives me..and what a boring drive!Nothing to see at all.
they know exactly why you are going down there,but they dont care i dont think.

pauldxb

How many times have you done it ? Do you not drive or work does ikt not bother you ?

pauldxb

When you say the 'Armpit' are you referring to all the factories or something else that i may have missed

I used to love doing my visa runs, an hour in duty free on the way out and 4 L of vodka on the way back in
