I am from a country that requires a visa to enter UAE. I have a hotel booked in Dubai and applied for a transit visa though them but I fly in two days and I haven't received a visa. I am investigating any other options before giving up an booking a couple of nights at the international terminal hotel for the final nights of my honeymoon.

I am flying in on flydubai and out on emirates (all booked through emirates) but since I am not flying in and out on the same airline it seems neither would apply for the transit visa for me. I applied through the hotel (Mövenpick Ibn Battuta Gate Hotel Dubai).

While looking around found this article saying a 96 hour visa could be applied for at the airport (http://www.emirates247.com/news/emir...09-20-1.604073) has anyone done this is it really possible?
