Change to visit visa rules
Just thought I would share my recent (horrible) experience on exiting Dubai with you - I only have a 30 day visit visa at the moment so having entered Dubai on 1 April I had to leave on the 30th, or so I thought! Unfortunately I was caught out by a change in the rules and found out at the airport that I had overstayed, and it cost me a 1700 AED fine! Apparently now once you are issued with a 30 day visit visa it remains in place even if you leave the country and come back within the original 30 days. I originally came to Dubai on 6 March, but then left for a business trip with my husband for a few days and returned on 1 April which was still within the original 30 days. I was under the impression that if you left the country the visa was cancelled and a new one issued on return, but this is not the case. An expensive mistake on my part, and my experience at the airport was unpleasant to say the least.
