This is what the IATA Travel Information Manual (TIM) says (April 2011 edition) (the best version of an "official source" that we can find). Note that it only applies to Dubai Airport, not other cities or emirates. All conditions must be satisfied ... in theory. If you end up in Dubai and don't satisfy all conditions, it might be worth trying anyway, but assume you'll fail and you won't be disappointed. A 96-hour (“Dubai Stop-over”) transit visa can be obtained on arrival at DXB provided:
- Traveling to a third country through Dubai International Airport;
- Transit time is at least 8 hours;
- Holding return/onward ticket and a hotel reservation;
- Traveling at least one sector (inbound or outbound) on Emirates (EK).
Fee: USD 127.- Facility is not applicable to passengers arriving on SQ-flights.
- No visa will be issued on arrival to female passengers under 30 years of age, being nationals of CIS countries.
- Not applicable to nationals of Afghanistan, Iraq, Niger, Somalia and Yemen.
