This visa is your pass to turn a simple layover into an exciting escapade.
Let us handle the visa process, so you can start dreaming about the unique stories you'll tell of your UAE layover adventure.
Do German citizens need a UAE Transit Visa?
Yes, German citizens traveling through the UAE via Abu Dhabi International Airport with plans to leave the airport must apply for a UAE Transit Visa.
This visa suits travelers facing layovers of more than 8 hours, allowing them a chance to experience the UAE for a brief period. It’s issued for either 48 or 96 hours and is intended for a single entry with no extension possible once you've entered the UAE.
For those receiving a 48-hour visa, remember, your time in the UAE is limited to exactly that — 48 hours from when you arrive. This rule is the same for the 96-hour visa holders.
The process of applying for this visa can be confusing if tackled alone. This is where a service like ours can be invaluable.
By choosing us, you're opting for an easy experience, freeing up your time to plan the exciting parts of your visit to the UAE. We aim to make the visa application process worry-free, so you can focus on enjoying your travels.
