Dubai is always on the top of the bucket list for any tourist. People from throughout the world fly in to Dubai to enjoy the picturesque and luxuries here. Dubai being one of the richest gulf countries, some visit Dubai on business while many fly in for holidaying with their loved ones. Considering the fact that Dubai is one of the most well-known tourist destinations getting a visa, is also a problem. While most go the legal way applying for visas and going through the long daunting paper works, a few try shortcuts. To avoid a trail of paper works, some people forge with the visas, getting duplicate visas to enter Dubai. Let us know in detail, how to know whether your visas are fake or real.
Citing an increase in the number of tourists to Dubai, the government has started an ‘ok to board’ consent from the airlines before entering the country. Once you clear your visa formalities, you have to submit the papers to the airlines. After briefly checking, they will marl your PNR as ‘Ok to board’. Without this, you are not allowed to board the plane. Also, this procedure has to be 48 hours before you board the flight. Tour service providers prove to be of great help to get this approval for many noted flights.
In a recent incident, a woman who was planning a vacation, had applied for two visas to Dubai- one for herself and other for her husband. After she got her visas done, she realized that on her visa, there was no expiry date. She immediately contacted the authorities and got the matter sorted.
To avoid such inconvenience, here are a few ways through which you can find whether your visa is fake or real.
Precaution is Better than Cure. It is always better to stay alert and check your visas before moving ahead with your tour plans. It is better to get a visa from the trusted websites and travel agents to avoid being a victim of a fraud or a fake visa and subsequently facing the consequences.
