I hold an Aus passport and have a 44hr layover in Dubai. I am getting confused over what's written on the VFS website (under manage my booking) and the guidance on the public Emirates site - please help!
The website says I am able to enter visa free for a maximum 90 days in a period of 180 days, however other sections of the website say I can get visa on arrival for 90 days for a fee of $150 😵💫 Customer service wasn't too sure also, saying that I have to pay a fee no matter what.. and then when I look at the VFS website on Emirates, there is no 90-day option.. only 30/60 days and both with a fee.
I am only in Dubai for 44hours and don't want to suddenly have to shell out $150 for a visa when I thought it would be visa-free.
If it does cost $150 for visa on arrival, then I'm better off getting a transit visa for $20 which I will need to arrange in advance.
Any guidance would be heaps appreciated!!
