Title: Dubai
Post by: tunnie on 09 January 2009, 20:01:56
Do i need to apply for a Visa if i want to enter Dubai? Shall be stopping there for a couple of days on my way to Sydney.

I am booking flights direct with the airline, so just wondering i need to get a visa before i fly?

I know i have to get one to enter Australia.
