The 96-Hour Emirates Transit Visa is required for most travelers with Emirates layovers, especially those not eligible for Visa-on-Arrival (VOA). However, more than 50 nationalities are exempt—including passport holders from the USA, UK, EU, Canada, Australia, Japan, South Korea, and New Zealand, who can enter the Emirates visa-free for 30–90 days without prior application. This makes short-stopovers and business transfers effortless for global travelers departing from major airports like Mumbai, Delhi, Manila, Dhaka, Cairo, and Lagos.

For all other travelers, our Express 96-Hour Transit Visa Service ($150) guarantees smooth approval with only a valid onward ticket and a passport valid for 6 months—no airline sponsorship, no embassy visits, and processing within 12–24 hours.
