I entered Abu Dhabi 2 months ago with a tourist visa. I have exceeded my legally allowable stay in the UAE, thanks to the complicated processing of my marriage certificate. My new residence visa is ready but I still have to exit the country as a tourist and come in with my new visa.
A short legal talk:
A Visit Visa or Long Term Visa (3 months) can be converted to a Residence Visa without leaving the country. However, a Tourist Visa or Short Term Visa (1 month extendable to another 1 month) requires the tourist to exit the UAE.
All these legal stuff makes me appreciate diplomatic relationships between countries more. Philippines, you need to fix ties with these Arab nations to spare your citizens of so many legalities. Thousands of OFWs are flocking to the Middle East every year, and we don’t have essential diplomatic privileges.
Oh well, today I found myself boarding a plane to Oman, since she didn’t welcome me by land. I paid 700 Dirhams for my 6 days of overstaying (100 Dirhams basic overstay charge + 100 Dirhams for each day overstayed).
The plan is to fly to Muscat International Airport, visit the comfort rooms there then fly back to Abu Dhabi on the same day. This is what they call ”Airport to Airport” exit.
Here’s me patiently waiting to board my plane.
The 48-seater Oman Air. It was small and wobbly but not as scary and smelly as Kish Airlines.
Snack time! Everything devoured because I didn’t have time for lunch. My ticket was booked a few hours before the flight and I only had time to shower.
Muscat from the air. The city was like Lego land in dry sand.
Airport touchdown. The flight lasted for only an hour and a half.
Metal chairs with soft pads. I like public seats like these.
My 2,000 Omani Rial Hazelnut Latte from Costa Cafe. I actually brought a 3-in-1 Nescafe sachet but was too shy to ask for free hot water. Haha.
The airport wasn’t spectacular but was fair enough.
The comfort rooms, however, were disappointing. I inspected a total of 3. Although they seem like they are being cleaned hourly, they looked old and abandoned. I had to pee as fast as I could.
You always find friends when you exit 🙂
Waiting for our trip back to the UAE.
I was in transit for 3 hours. A year ago I did an exit to Kish, Iran and stayed there for 3 days. Having gone through torments like that, I get to appreciate today.
There’s the guy who kept on staring at me the entire trip, might as well take a shot so I can stare back at him even in this photo only.

Hi thanks sa reply Violet super informative ng blog mo. Medyo confused lang ako naoffload na kasi ako at nakalagay sa requirements list eh OEC,authenticated or verified contract at original visa.
1.nawala ko kasi requirements list na bigay ng Immigration bibugyan kaya nila ako ng copy uli?
2. Pag dumaan sa Agency kailangan pa ba ng authenticated or verified contract para makakuha ng OEC. Paano kaya yung sa Immigration baka kasi maoffload ako uli pag di ko nacomplete yun pero dati kasi sabi ko direct hire ako kaya siguro nilagay yun sa list. Direct hire ako pero as per POEA may agency yung Company kaya sila dapat magasikaso.
3. Ok na po ba ipresent yung scanned visa kasi sinend lang sa kin yun through email. (Entry Visa)

Hi Rose… i just wanna butt in sa quiery you kay Miss Violet, dito rin me sa UAE/Dubai. Kelangan talaga you need your original visa to show immigration. Plus, if you are leaving on an employment visa kelangan mo rin ng OEC or yung galing sa POEA. Mahirap lumabas ng bansa naten lalo na pagnasa immigration ka na naten, marami silang tanong. Paiba iba pa ang mga requirements nila na kelangan. Na off-load narin yung pamangkin ko due to lack of requirements… his visa was tourist then, and he needed an Affidavit of Support plus plus plus documents from the guarantor. Mahirap lumabas ng Pinas kung kulang kulang ang papers mo. And kung from other country ka naman lulusot, 50/50 chances din kasi marami ang nagtangkang lumusot from other coutries like Hong Kong and etc… pero pinabalik sa Pinas kasi ang question naman ng immigration nila is bakit lulusot from their country, at if the traveler insists they might have to deport her/him. As Employment visa naman kelangan meron kang agency na papasukan ng visa mo. I know it is confusing and difficult at times, but these are base on our experiences personally and with my pamangkins. I just wanna share also para sa mga kababayan naten.
Hope it helps… thanks dear.

Hi Rose, i think the reason behind your employer wanting you to go through another country is because kelangan mo mgprovide ng other documents related to a new working visa if ur traveling from Manila straight to your employer. I’m not too sure about the complete set of documents pero nasa POEA yan, list of requirements.
For some people it’s easier to go thru another country as a tourist before heading to the country of employment. Pero syempre kapag ito ang option mo, you have to provide a ticket for that country as final destination, return ticket from that country as well, hotel booking and your proof of funds. You shouldn’t show your UAE ticket and visa for this option.
However, kung kumpleto naman ang papers mo for the UAE then just take the manila-uae route directly. Your employer should provide you with all necessary documents. Again, im not too sure about the complete set of docus to supplement a new working visa.
You can check POEA website for that. Hope this helps.

Hi, usually UAE Immigration do not question you anymore as compared to the Philippine immigration. As long as you do not have questionable documents or bad records when living in the UAE. In case they ask, then your answer is “I’m coming back to tour.”

Hi Nora, thanks for the post 🙂
Basically the difference between Oman and Kish is that Kish is visa-free while Oman is not.
Kish is mostly the destination when you’re not sure when your employment visa is going to be finished. It is also more cheaper in terms of flights and accomodation.
Oman is mostly the choice for Airport to airport transfer since you won’t have to exit Oman airport. It is mostly for people who have their employment visa ready or for those who can afford a more comfortable hotel. A visa is necessary for Oman.
When getting a ticket for the Kish Exit, it is usually in a package and they provide you the hotel as well. Oman has more options and you can google the net for budget hotels to stay in.

Hi Jeff, sorry this took forever 😦 I hope by now you have answers to your questions. I honestly don’t know the time frame for processing visas. I can only share from my experience. It took us 1.5 months to wait for the marriage certificate to be registered and be processed from the Philippines and It took my husband one week to process my husband’s visa.
A husband’s visa is also dependent on the employment visa of the husband. So one has to wait for an employment visa from his company then proceed into applying for a husband’s visa for the wife.
It’s a long process 🙂 start by calling the embassy and know how long they could process your marriage certificate, registered and red-ribboned 🙂

I exited airport to airport in Abu Dhabi-Oman. In immigration passport control ABU DHABI I showed my OLD TOURIST visa. They just stamp your tourist visa with a big EXIT, it means you entered and exited the country as a tourist.
When I came back I showed my NEW husband’s visa. It means I came in under my Husband’s visa.

When you fly back to the UAE, you can sit and walk around the UAE airport as well without a visa, whatever nationality. But if you want to leave the UAE Airport, go out into the UAE country then you can present you UAE VISA.

I got my residence visa while I was in my tourist visa inside Abu Dhabi. Then exited the country (my residence visa paper already with me so I didn’t have to print in the airport), had my tourist visa stamped exited then came in with my residence visa.
My friend also had an A to A exit, her residence visa was processed even when her tourist visa was still effective. When she got her residence visa, that’s when she exited the country showing her tourist visa only. Then came in with the new residence visa.

Hi Rench,
Thanks for dropping by. I will answer you according to my knowledge through my experiences…
First of all, the OMAN exit Airport to Airport is an option when:
1. You already have your printed visa
2. You are 100% sure your company will process your visa on the same day (and you have access to a fax or email in the airport to print the electronic copy of your visa to show in immigration when coming in, or I don’t know if there are some other options.)
All you have to do is exit Abu Dhabi, stay in the airport for a few hours until your next flight then enter Abu Dhabi again.
You only need an OMAN VISA if you are to exit the Airport, meaning you don’t know exact day when your visa will be done. You have to be very careful because companies in the UAE do not always process visas on time, unless your company is really really good.
You can only exit through land to OMAN if your current visa is RESIDENCE not TOURIST. But if your visa is TOURIST, like through airport, you need an OMAN visa.
When your visa is cancelled, i know you have some number of days allowable stay in the UAE (that you have to ask your PRO). There are companies, who process visa fast and you can carry your residence visa with you upon exiting the country.
If, however, your company is a bit slow in processing things, then KISH EXIT is your option if you don’t want to pay for OMAN visa and hotel stay. Kish is visa-free but is not cockroach/surot-free
I hope this helps 🙂
If you push through with OMAN, Tell me your estimated dates of flying 🙂

If it’s the same sponsor, it shouldn’t be a ”transfer” but just an extension or renewal… if it’s just a renewal you don’t have to exit..
Oman is way lot better than kish. But Oman is not visa-free, meaning if you intend to go out of the airport you have to buy a visa depending on how long you’ll stay out. Kish however is visa-free but the ”hotels” are like prison cells.
Without other necessities or complications, a new visa just takes hours 🙂 but everything is subjective, you have to talk to a PRO or someone in authority 🙂
