UAE Tourist Visa
I'm planning to visit the UAE for tourism purposes with my family. I also have a cousin residing in Sharjah and it was his idea to come along just for a family holiday.
My queries are as below:
Can I apply for UAE visa through any of the local tour operators?
I wish to stay around 8-9 days at my cousin's place so will I need an invitation letter from him?
Is there any limit to carry AED (Arab Emirates Dirham) as if I convert INR to AED in UAE, it might be a bit expensive compared to converting in India and then taking it to UAE.
Best Answer
- I there any limit to carry AED (Arab Emirates Dirham)
Currency rules
Currency Import regulations:
Local currency (United Arab Em. Dirham-AED) and foreign currencies: allowed, however, currency exceeding AED 100,000.- (or equivalent) must be declared on arrival.
Currency Export regulations:
Local currency (United Arab Em. Dirham-AED) and foreign currencies: no restrictions.
I must though caution that the same source seems to be grossly out-of-date regarding Indian currency into India. However here only the AED 100,000 seems at all likely to change over time and I presume is vastly more than you expect to spend in UAE over a week or two.
