Will they let me into the UAE? I travel alone, without companions
UAE
It has already been heard that a girl under 30 without a husband or father may not be allowed into the Emirates. I am over 30, but it will not be a problem that I travel, though through MOT, but generally alone, without fellow travelers? (not to mention the representatives of the strong half).

Yes, and another clarification (in case a fellow traveler is a "plus" for a trip to the UAE). A friend of mine is rushing to the Emirates with me, but she is not yet 30. Can her presence somehow affect (help or hinder) whether they will let me into the UAE or not? And if, for example, we buy a tour for two at the agency, but she is denied a visa, but I don’t - how does the situation with the tour resolve? (In fact, the "double" will turn into a "single" - but what about the payment?) In general, there are a lot of questions. I will be especially grateful for the answers of representatives of TO and TA (in particular, those who have the practice of sending tourists to the UAE with a similar situation). Thanks friends!

my friend, traveling with a guy, not even her husband, was refused, they applied again, and then her boy wrote a letter to the embassy that he was responsible for her, etc.
аватар Biker_Oksana
Anya, how old was she at the time of the trip? It seems that this "milestone" (30 years) is officially registered, right?
аватар Anetka-gan
she is around 25. officially registered, etc.
аватар Anetka-gan
listen, so you are over 30 (I thought less) - what are you going through? I have a friend who goes there to live on a tourist visa periodically, herself. takes a tour or just air and eats. no problem.

A girlfriend under 30?
аватар natapro
We flew to the Emirates with a friend. The situation is the same as yours. She is over 30, I am not yet 30. Visas were opened for both. In fact, there are very few failures now. Open to 18 year olds. Well, if it happens to you that one of you does not get a visa, then the one who does not get a visa will be subject to penalties according to the contract. But I don't think you need to worry
аватар Biker_Oksana
Anetka-gan, you flatter me)))))))))
аватар Biker_Oksana
Oleksii64, yes, she is not yet 30. 27 or 28))
аватар Biker_Oksana
natapro, and if my girlfriend is denied a visa, the agency will not slip me a pig?
аватар Anetka-gan
what is it that takes you there?
аватар Biker_Oksana
To the agency?))) As a small tourist, I am also inexperienced in order to travel on my own))) But more seriously: through TA it seems to be more reliable in terms of a visa.
аватар Biker_Oksana
It’s so rushing to be sarcastic towards myself: I can’t tear myself away from TA-sisi yet))) The teeth have not yet grown in order to chew the adult tour food correctly)))))

Yes, in Ukraine it is still problematic to get an Emirates visa without a tour package. Yes, and air prices are such that it’s cheaper to buy a tour
аватар Biker_Oksana
By the way! Thank you Galya for the reminder. I, too, have already heard somewhere that in the UAE through TA it seems to be cheaper than on my own. What's the catch? On charters?
аватар natapro
yes, they rarely sell charter tickets, and if they do, the prices are not very good. well, plus the problem of how to open a visa
аватар Biker_Oksana
I didn’t quite catch the connection, why is it still cheaper through TA ... oh well ...)))
And here’s something else that surfaced at night: if you didn’t open a visa to the UAE, what is the risk for the further “tourist activity” of the traveler? For some reason, the analogy with the Schengen visa is obsessively spinning in my head: they didn’t open it - there will be problems with the next Schengen.
аватар natapro
it is not fraught with anything, re-submit documents and that's it.
аватар Biker_Oksana
And what are the chances for the second time? Won't they say: "Ah, my dear, you already had doubts - a double portion of distrust"?
аватар Anetka-gan
I'm talking about Emirates
independently realistic if there is someone in the emirates and there they make a tourist visa through a local agency)
аватар natapro
Nuda bucks will do that for 200.
аватар Anetka-gan
smaller

And you, Oksana, by the way, how many days are you planning and in how many stars? Because I think you should not look for unnecessary problems for yourself if you fly for a week or 10 days to an inexpensive city hotel. If for 3-4 weeks, then you can still do it yourself
аватар Biker_Oksana
An, bears to look at the country of the 25th century :) There is no one in the Emirates (yet?)))))))))).
Galya, "planning" is still relative. At the moment I'm looking closely, because there are a bunch of questions, and there are alternatives to the UAE (but now I want more all the same here). Here, I'm just collecting and digesting information. I was thinking about some thread of a budget (without bells and whistles, but digestible, not shabby) hotel (I even hope for 1 line - I realized from the reviews that budget "troikas" on the first line exist) for 10-12 days (I'm more afraid to guess -- PRICES, PRICES... but I would like to squeeze the most out of the day-- to see the country as much as possible, life time does not allow you to go to the same country twice if others have not yet been examined :)))).

Yes, in the Emirates there are triples on the first line, but only in Sharjah. Although this emirate is not very far from Dubai, it is still not very comfortable to get from there by taxi to Dubai every time to see all the sights.
аватар Iriska1975
There seem to be no special problems with the entry of girls under 30 years old. Well, if it's not Sharjah, they are very strict. They can also break. Speaking of visas in the emirates. if done upon arrival, then $ 150 per person. Arrived from Dubai 2 weeks ago.
аватар Tet.A_sv
Oksana, there are few refusals to call, but it happens. What I will write below from the series "I bought for those and sold for ..." For about a year, or maybe more, tourists wrote on the forum who the Arabs did not give a visa to, the travel agency refused to return the money for the tour. Turprofi explained the situation, this is how Arab TOs work, they have a condition that if they refuse, nothing is returned. Check these nuances with competent people, and if you don’t go, it’s VERY unpleasant to lose money! Why are you traveling alone? IMHO, it is worth finding a travel companion, not for living, but for seeing the country. Although this is a civilized Arabia, but lonely travelers are not looked upon very well. Two young women and ONE - two big differences)))
аватар Anetka-gan
Iriska1975 "if you do it on arrival, then $ 150" does this also apply to Ukraine?

So I thought... It's better to pay more and live in Dubai - after all, tourist time is more expensive to poke it back and forth from Sharjah to Dubai.
That is, you can forget about the "troikas" on the seashore in Dubai?
аватар Biker_Oksana
Tanya... it's so... but I'm already so used to tourist freedom, and to living alone in a hotel room, where after a busy day I want to retire and DIGEST the impressions with myself... Plus, I have a battery every day new, not every fellow traveler can stand it - just as I can’t stand someone’s slowness to raise a dupa and get ready for a spontaneous excursion in five minutes. All my nature rebels against the "attachment" to someone and the restriction of freedom. And I would be looking for a fellow traveler only for the sake of cheapening the tour, and not for viewing the country. Yes, and preferences can be completely different - I periodically have very specific interests about "see", "smack", "lick". In general, I don’t want to undermine someone’s rest - but even more I don’t want to ruin it for myself. It's better to swindle with someone on the spot - it obliges each other less.
By the way, if women traveling alone are not looked at very well - I'm even ready to "close" in clothes, it doesn't bother me - but I'd rather be free in my routes and spontaneous Wishlist.
