There are two simple rules: [1] Anyone, who is transiting through Dubai, with a wait time of more than 6 hours, and who holds a valid Dubai hotel reservation, is eligible for a transit visa. [2] The maximum you can stay inside the terminal (air side) in transit is 24 hours. If your transit is more than 24 hours - then you must enter Dubai; which means you need to arrange a hotel (or have the airline arrange accommodations for you), and apply for the transit visa. | |

If you are transiting less than 6 hours, you do not qualify for the transit visa; you have no choice but to stay airside. | |
| Mar 16, 2018 at 15:30 | comment | added | Dylanq | In the first case, when you say you "you don't qualify as a transit passenger", you mean I don't qualify for TWOV, correct? That is, I can apply for the 96 hour visa and be fine? Also, according to this thread, the 8 hour minimum requirement does not apply if I have separate tickets? Hence, I was wondering how it would differ if I have 6 hours to "transit" vs 48 hours. travel.stackexchange.com/questions/111039/… Additionally, if my next flight is in 6 hours, how would I be required to have a hotel booking? Thank you | |
