Check transit rules for your flight route

A journey between Liberia and Dubai may include one or more connecting airports. A UAE visa only covers entry into the United Arab Emirates. It does not replace a transit visa that may be required by another country on the route.

Before departure, check the complete itinerary with the airline. Pay attention to airport changes, overnight connections, self-transfer tickets and any connection that requires collecting baggage and passing through immigration.

Separate tickets need extra attention: If the journey uses two separate bookings, confirm whether baggage can be checked through to Dubai. Collecting and rechecking baggage may require entry permission for the connecting country.

Passport scan is unclear

Cropped edges, glare or a blurred information page may require a new upload.

Details do not match

Photograph needs replacement

The image is dark, edited, blurred or does not show the face clearly.

Another application is active

An existing UAE visa request may need to be checked before a new application continues.

Previous immigration record

An earlier UAE overstay or unresolved immigration matter may lead to further review.

Extra documents are requested

Processing may pause until the requested travel or supporting document is received.
