Answer 1

The Indian passport holders of your family need a Transit visa.

In case you will travel Emirates Airlines this can be arranged by the airlines itself. But if flying through another Airlines, you have to contact directly the Marhaba Services, the details of which are as follows:

Marhaba Services

Tel: [phone] (Visa Section)

Tel: [phone] (Main Office in the Airport)

E-mail: [e-mail]

You can travel without prior arrangement of transit visa. As soon as you arrive at the airport you have to approach any of the Marhaba staff and you will be guided to the Marhaba Visa counter for any arrangement.

Have a safe trip!

edit Vinod 2008: I do not know where you are getting your information from, but fact is, the Embassy only issue visas for diplomatic or service visits. Point blanc. Transit visas will be issued through Emirate Airlines (flying into Dubai) or the Marhaba Service dircetly.

Answer 2

Since you & family are Indian Passport holders you will not get the transit visa on arrival at airport, you must obtain it first from the UAE Embassy in UK. But your youngest child can have transit visa from the airport on arrival, because child holding UK Passport.

Otherwise the option is Emirates Airlines. They can arrange a visa (tourist) for you and family (actual validity will be 30 days and you may use it for one day or up to you). Actual cost of the same is AED 100 per visa.

Just be in touch with the Local Emirates Office (in UK - Manchester), sure they will help you.

Marhaba Service at Airport can do nothing once you reach at Airport without holding even a tourist visa in advance (except your youngest child)

Have a safe trip!
