[@gitasingh1854]

Hi Aditya, thank you for sharing the information. I’ve a valid B1/B2 visa for USA. I’m planning to travel to Dubai for 13 days. My question is whether I require insurance, and if yes, which one should I get (I’ll be traveling via Turkish airline from Ireland with a layover of about 90 mins at Istanbul). I am quite spectacle if I should apply for the visa beforehand in case of any trouble?

[@traveldiarieswithadi496]

Insurance is not mandatory but highly recommended even it is for a small sum insured amount of $10000. With valid b1/b2 usa visa voa is guaranteed, but Turkish airlines has a history of creating issues so to be on the safer side, please write to the airlines and keep a copy of that mail as a proof so that they can't find any excuses. But voa is definitely possible for Indian passport holders with valid USA visa

@@nikhildoshi hi You are eligible for via on arrival process based on your USA visa on your Indian passport. However, please note that there some recent changes introduced by the UAE govt for this facility. Some additional requirements are a bank balance of INR 60000 and a minimum amount of cash you need to carry along with the proof of onward or return journey.

[@chaitanyaarisetty7260]

Thanks. Pretty Informative. I have small query here. I'm having an US F1 visa, traveling from US to India and return with layover in Dubai. I have 6-hour and 12-hour layovers in Dubai on the outbound and return journeys, respectively. In both trips, the flights are different and I need to do self transfer in Dubai. Do I need visa on arrival just to collect the baggage and checkin to other airlines or can marhaba handle baggage process and transfer without me stepping outside terminal for immigration?

[@traveldiarieswithadi496]

Yes marhabba can handle the baggage trasfer process. You can write to them in advance and check the cost and the process. In that case you may not have to step outside and clear the immigration. However, I would suggest first check the cost because this service is very expensive. Few years back I was returning from kiev via dubai and had to take their service to collect my baggage from Ukraine airlines to fly dubai airlines and they charged pretty hefty amount close to 350-400 uae dirham. The cost of uae voa is less (141 uae dirham), so in my opinion it makes more sense to take VOA and go out collect your baggage and then do an immigration again'. This will save you some cost but if you are ready to spend more money and want travel hassle free, then probably marhabba option will be better

Dear Sir, I have a valid US B1 visa tll Sep 2024. Can I travel to Dubai for 13 days from India? If so, I guess the same procedure you described applies, correct? Before boarding me, will they validate this visa with Indian embassy or US embassy?

[@traveldiarieswithadi496]

Yes u are eligible. The airlines will check the validity during the checkin process and if the visa is valid antill next 3 months then they will allow boarding
