27 hours layover in Dubai and no valid visa
I will be going home from Egypt to Philippines on Oct 21 to 23 with layover in Dubai on Oct 22 for almost 27 hours. Online visa application was no longer available since I logged the request late. Will I be able allowed to stay at Dubai airport for the whole layover even without visa?
Best Answer
According to Emirates and its visa checker, as you are a Philippines national, transiting to the Philippines through the UAE and have a lay over for more than 24 hours, you need a visa regardless of whether you stay in the airport or not.
It does look like there is a transit visa offer available (not an Emirates offer, a UAE offer) where you can receive a 96 hour visa on arrival along with a hotel for the transit period, but I don't know how much that would cost.
