FAQ
Dubai Transit Visa Questions, Answered
Who needs one, 48 versus 96 hours, fees, documents and what airlines check at boarding.
Yes, provided you clear UAE immigration. Moldovan passports are listed for arrival entry, but we suggest a pre-arranged transit visa for a long gap: check-in staff in Chișinău see a clear approval, and you are covered if the onward flight is delayed. A 48-hour visa suits one night and a 96-hour visa a short stopover. Keep your onward booking with you.
The direction makes no difference. An overnight layover spent inside the airport involves no UAE paperwork, while a night in a hotel means entering the country. Moldovan passports are listed for arrival entry. Because homeward flights are often the ones that slip, we suggest applying ahead for that stop too, timed to your return dates.
Yes, as long as the card allows online international payments. Our checkout accepts major debit and credit cards, but some banks block these payments by default, so if a payment fails, check your card settings in your banking app or try another card. Once payment goes through, our team submits your transit application and keeps you updated by email.
Tell us the exact airports before you apply. Moving from Dubai to Sharjah means leaving one airport by road, so you are entering the UAE either way. A transit visa covers that entry as long as you leave within its time limit on the onward ticket. Moldovan passports are listed for arrival entry, but we recommend a pre-arranged visa for a cross-airport transfer, where timings are tight.
