Common Questions

Is travel insurance mandatory for UAE?

Yes. Tourists are required to have medical insurance covering their stay. Skyway Tours includes this in your visa package.

Can I convert my Tourist Visa to a Work Visa?

Yes, you can find a job on a tourist visa and change your status to a residency visa inside the country without exiting (subject to fees).

What happens if I overstay?

Since the removal of the grace period, you will be fined from Day 1 of overstay. You may also require an "Outpass" to leave the country if fines are high.
