I'm a Canadian living in Qatar (12 yrs now!!!). If I have a Residence Permit for Qatar, do I still need a visa to enter the UAE? Want to do a bit of shopping but not sure if I want to shell out $250 to do so. Thanks in advance.

Up until recently you didn't need one. But check with the embassy to see what the new procedure is. It shouldn't be so expensive!

Thanks. Will check with the embassy but probaly won't go then. Flight is cheaper than the visa I bet! Darn.... our government.

yes you do but you have to go directly to the UaE embassy in Qatar to get it. Unless you are flying with Emirates. (pretty sure that is what my friend said..)
