FAQ
Dubai Transit Visa Questions, Answered
Who needs one, 48 versus 96 hours, fees, documents and what airlines check at boarding.
Bosnian passport holders are covered by a UAE–Bosnia and Herzegovina mutual visa-exemption agreement signed in November 2023, providing for stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period. If you remain airside during a Dubai connection, you generally do not need a UAE visa. If you plan to leave the airport, confirm that the exemption remains in force and applies to your trip before booking.
For Bosnian passport holders eligible for the UAE visa exemption, a 48-hour transit visa may not be necessary for a short visit. However, separate tickets, self-transfers or a disrupted connection can create additional entry and airline requirements. Confirm your eligibility and travel arrangements before paying for a transit visa.
Confirm whether both flights are on one booking and whether bags go straight through. On separate tickets you may collect bags in Dubai, which means passing immigration. Check Türkiye's transit rules too. For the Dubai stop, apply with us for a pre-arranged transit visa if any part is a self-transfer, so the connection does not depend on decisions at the desk.
Yes. Each child needs a valid passport, and if the family leaves the airport, each needs their own transit visa. Bring birth certificates if surnames differ from a travelling parent. We prepare the whole family's applications together and check every photo and scan before submitting.
