United Arab Emirates - very popularrecently a tourist destination. Amazing beach holidays, architectural wonders in the form of washed up islands, dizzying shopping and a lot of new impressions of this "eastern country". But to visit this state, citizens of Russia (as, indeed, Ukraine and Belarus) will require a visa to the UAE. Get it easier than, for example, in the Schengen countries, but still work hard and collect a package of documents will have to. Let's try to consider what information about you interests the embassy, and in what form it should be provided.
First about the form of submission.Russia is a huge country, and in most cases citizens of other cities are disadvantaged in comparison with Muscovites, because they need to fork out for a trip to the capital for a visit to the consular departments. We can say that the Emirates are a positive exception to the rules. Visa to the UAE is fully made in the mode of e-mail. You need to scan and send the necessary documents, fill out a virtual form, list the consular fee, and are ready. Maximum of five days (workers) - and you will receive the necessary document on the electronic mailbox. You print it and fly to rest in the country.
Now about the very permission to enter.Visa in the UAE is of three types: transit, tourist and visiting. Transit is mostly opened by citizens flying to Australia, New Zealand or the islands of Oceania. Airlines in this direction usually fly through Dubai. If the circumstances so that you have to spend more than a day at the airport and you want to leave the international zone and make a short tour of the city, you can get this type of transit. Moreover, it is inexpensive, it is issued in a short time and it lasts for 96 hours. Passengers who prefer to wait for their flight in the international airport zone, do not need to make an entry permit.
Tourist visa in the UAE - the mostclaimed type of document from the Russians. It is opened for a period of 59 days, but it is possible to stay in the country continuously for a maximum of 29 days. There are several ways of its registration. The first (and the easiest) is to buy a tour in the agency. At the same time, it must be remembered that the document on which you left abroad must operate a further six months after the end of the trip. If a child is traveling with you, care should be taken to ensure that the permission of the remaining home of the second parent has been notarized, as well as to provide a scan of his internal passport. If children and parents have different surnames, it is necessary to translate and notarize the birth certificate.
A visa to the UAE can be issued independently,without buying a tour. But in this case it will cost more. You will need to provide proof of your solvency and hotel reservation. If the hotel in which you are going to stay will have more than four stars, no deposit is required. If you have booked a 1-, 2 or 3-star hotel, you will need to leave $ 1,500 as collateral. This amount will be returned to you upon presentation of your passport upon return from your trip. Permission to enter the country is also issued by agencies with Etihad and Emirates airlines in Moscow.
The fact that the visa is in the UAE for girls under 30 years of ageunavailable - a myth. There is no restriction on gender or age, this category does not have citizens. Another thing is the newlyweds who decided to spend the honeymoon in the country. They need to provide a scan of the marriage certificate, as well as a scan of his translation into English, which the notary assured. The only requirement for women under 30 years of age - if they are married and leave without a spouse - is to provide a scan of a notarized marriage certificate. Special requirements of the Embassy of the UAE to the photos of all petitioners: they should be made on a white background, 4.3 by 5.5 cm in size, sent in JPG format, and photos should be compressed, because the allowable file size can be no more than 40 kilobytes .
