I am a bit clueless as I have never been in the situation but what is the most affordable option for a visitor (no emirates ID or residence visa) to obtain a temporary sim card with data and be able to connect their laptop to the internet if there is no wifi where they are staying? I have contacted Virgin Mobile and they only provide these services if you have a visa or Emirates ID.

Sim card to be used in an Iphone and then needs to connect to the internet on her laptop but there is no wifi where she will be staying.
I would get a prepay visitor SIM from Etisalat ..... you can get this from one of their stores and it’s registered against a passport with visitor/tourist visa. You can then add various data and call packs depending on your use. We had these when we first moved and they worked really well.

How will they be using the SIM card ? ..... in a phone and tethering the laptop or in a data device ?
