So what should I do now, I could of course make some refundable bookings in other Dubai Hyatts and cancel them once I am in Dubai, but I accidentally read frightening text from Jumeirah Hotels visa info website:
•The holder must leave UAE when checked out from Jumeirah Hotel or Resort. A fine will be payable to Dubai Immigration for each day overstayed.
•Guests who remain for a further stay in the UAE following check-out from a Jumeirah Hotel or Resort are in breach of these terms and conditions and their respective Tourist Visa, and may face court action and/or penalties.


I am pretty sure these conditions apply to every tourist visa holder. But I don't have to apply for separate visa from eveery hotel I am staying in UAE, do I ???
Has anybody an idea, what's the best option to do? I will call Dubai immigration tomorrow, but quite likely I get a standard answer smth. like "stay in one hotel/chain) for the whole time!" Any better ideas, as I don't want to be confined to Dubai for my whole travel?
If you are flying on Emirates, they will take care of your visa. There is a counter off to the left from where you ascend into the Arrivals Hall where they handle visas.
