Here is the step-by-step process of completing your stop-over in Dubai:
The Immigration Authority is solely responsible for determining whether or not a visa will be granted, and their determinations can also result in rejection. There is no provision for a refund if the visa is rejected.
Sometimes the rejection might be attributed to particular holiday periods, such as Eid and Islamic festivals, New Year's, and Christmas, when immigration will be busy, and the system will be delayed. These holidays include Dubai national holidays.
We recommend applying for express visas or applying between 5 and 7 days before your current visa expires or before you travel. If your application for a visa is denied, we are not responsible for any costs incurred as a result, including but not limited to missed flights, altered travel itineraries, or fines for staying in a country past your visa.
No, we are sorry, but for you to receive a transit visa, you need to have a real stop-over ticket, and we cannot help you get a dummy ticket.
No, you cannot extend a transit visa. The visa is specific to how long you can stay in Dubai, and you have to board a flight before the time lapses; otherwise will be considered to have overstayed and subject to fines.
You can get a transit visa by contacting travel agents like Arabiers.com.
