Details of the Airport-to-Airport Visa Change

The best option to get your visa extended is to take a flight to any of the UAE’s neighbouring countries. The airport-to-airport visa change facility is a very economical way to have your current tourist visa extended. All you need to do is pass through the departure terminal in the neighbouring country. You can simply fly back to the UAE without exiting the airport at all. After your return to the UAE, you can have a new visa issued for a 30- or 60-day visit visa, as needed.

This facility is available for people from most nations. The airport-to-airport visa facility was earlier available only at Sharjah Airport. It is now available even at the Dubai airport for the convenience of millions of visitors to the city. On most occasions, the visas are issued only within a few hours. However, there may be delays if the visa application is for some unforeseen reason, present in the blocklist or is sent to the security authorities.

People of any nationality can obtain an A2A (airport-to-airport) visa. This service is available for all on weekdays, i.e. from Saturdays to Thursdays. If you’re planning to get yourself an A2A visa, we request that you get in touch with us at least 2 days in advance so the rush for flight tickets can be managed wisely.  If you find the A2A visa change a bit costly, you can certainly go for the border-to-border visa change, commonly called the Oman Visa Change, by hopping on a bus that takes you to Oman.
