Airport-to-Airport Visa Change
The Airport-to-Airport (A2A) Visa Change is an ideal option for individuals whose UAE visa is expiring and wish to extend their stay without returning to their home country. This service is commonly used by tourists, job seekers awaiting residency approval, and travellers who overstayed unintentionally. A2A helps avoid penalties while ensuring uninterrupted stay in the UAE.
Details of the Airport-to-Airport Visa Change
This process allows travellers to take a short flight to a neighbouring country, pass through the departure terminal, and fly back to the UAE without exiting the airport. Upon return, a new 30-day or 60-day visit visa is issued.
Originally available only through Sharjah Airport, the service is now also available at Dubai Airport. Visas are typically issued within a few hours, although delays may occur due to blocklist or security clearance issues.
The service is available for travellers of all nationalities from Saturday to Thursday. We recommend contacting Dream Land Adventure Tourism at least 2 days in advance to secure flight arrangements.
If the A2A option feels expensive, travellers may opt for the economical Border-to-Border Visa Change (Oman Visa Change) by road.
