FAQ
Dubai Transit Visa Questions, Answered
Who needs one, 48 versus 96 hours, fees, documents and what airlines check at boarding.
Three nights fit inside the 96-hour transit visa, as long as your onward ticket to Malaysia leaves the UAE within that window. If you want flexibility to stay longer or change dates, a tourist visa is the safer pick, since the transit visa cannot be extended. North Macedonian passports are listed for arrival entry, but we suggest arranging either visa with us before you leave Skopje.
Check with the issuing authority that it remains valid for travel, and make sure it has at least six months left. Older booklets can draw a second look at check-in, so book your flights in exactly the same name and number. If you plan to leave the airport, we suggest a pre-arranged transit visa, so your paperwork is clear to both the airline and the UAE desk.
Yes, plan for one. Abu Dhabi and Dubai airports are well over an hour apart by road, so changing between them means entering the UAE. North Macedonian passports are listed for arrival entry, but for a cross-airport connection we recommend a transit visa approved before you fly. It keeps the transfer moving and covers you if your timings change. Book enough time between flights.
Apply with us online once your flights are booked. Upload your passport photo page, a recent photo and the itinerary showing your onward flight out of the UAE. Our team checks it and submits the application, and the approval arrives by email. Print a copy for check-in in Skopje, as agents may ask to see it when your ticket shows a long stop in Dubai.
