Transit visa in Dubai (landing in XNB, leaving via DXB) [duplicate]

I am arriving in Dubai XNB at 6am from an Etihad flight. Then on 5pm, I am leaving Dubai on a Flydubai flight. Do I need a transit visa? (I'm Filipino so visa is always a constraint whenever we fly outside of Southeast Asia.)

I am asking because i have read conflicting accounts that I can ask for transit visa via Etihad since I am arriving from an Etihad flight.

Best Answer

As a Filipino citizen you are not eligible for a "visa on arrival" in the UAE. Instead, you have to apply for a visa beforehand.

Etihad Airways helps you to arrange the visa. They provide an online service for this sake.
