Visit Visa question?

Question

Hi! My mother has came on visit visa from india to dubai. She is quite old. Her visa is sponsored by my husband. Her visa will be expiring after few days. I heard about visa change by road i.e Hatta. Can my husband and my mom go directly to hatta border with new inbound visa by car. Or do we need any visa for oman ?

If so what are the requirements for making visa for oman and how much is the fees?

Why do people prefer to travel to kish island when they can change it through hatta by road?

Answer 1

Yes you can ride your own car and accompany your mom from Dubai - Hatta - Oman.  Here's what you will do:

1.) First you have to get OMAN VISA from the travel agencies for each one of you, it will cost you 60 dirhams each.  You must applied this first because it will take more than 2 days to get this visa!  Without it you cannot pass the border going to Oman.  The visa is good for 15 days.

2.) Go to the typing center and provide them with the necessary requirements like;

     FOR YOUR MOM

     a. 1st Page copy of her passport

     b. Old visa page

     c. 2 photos

     FOR YOUR HUSBAND

     a. 1st Page copy of his passport

     b. Visa page copy

     c. Salary certificate

And of course you have to pay Dirhams 250 for the application.

3.) Before you can go to the Dubai Immigration to process her new visa of course you must first show the stamps on her passport that you have exited Dubai and enter Oman then vice versa (exited Oman and enter Dubai).  That's a tedious process.  

4.) After you reached the Hatta border and passed thru the exit stamped procedures then you have to head next to the Oman Immigration for you to get an ENTRY stamped.

5.) If your husband will be driving for you then obviously he cannot get to the Dubai Immigration right away, so you will end up checking-in your mother to the hotel, choices are Al Salam Hotel and Al Buraimi Hotel which will cost you 60 dirhams a night.  First night is free, so if you can fast track the visa proceedings then it's good because you will not pay anything to the hotel.

6.) For both of you, of course you need to get back to Dubai and go to the Immigration if there's still time left, I think the Immigration is still open at 7:30 p.m.  Or you can went there the following day.

5.) If you already secured the visa then it's time for you to get your mother back from Oman.

6.) She will be brought again to the Oman Immigration for the exit stamp from Oman, take note that this is needed by the border officers at Hatta, without it you cannot pass.

7.) When her passport have already exit stamped from Oman then it's time for all of you to cross the border but first she will be screened for the so-called Eye Scan.  And the last procedure make sure that the passport and visa page are stamped with an entry to Dubai.

8.) And when this is all finished, CONGRATULATIONS your ready to headway back again to Dubai!!! Kiss the sand for me....(just joking)

There's no easy way, this is the standard procedures...  It is harder to went to Kish or Qeshm if your mother is alone and not familiar with the process....

Kish and Qeshm are choices of many because it offered the facilities first before Oman.  The hotels are cheaper.  For example in Kish the place has lots of stores that you can go for shopping which is very affordable compared to Dubai.  And there is a nearby open beach.  Asians usually pick Kish, but nowadays Oman is the destination of choice regarding change visa!

I hope this will help you....

P.S. Be prepared for the worst, bring some clothes and foods with her...sometimes Dubai Immigration is hard to understand and it will took sometime before they will release some visas...worst not at all - REJECTED...
