They'll put a stamp on the back of your passport and you'll be good to go. It's all computerized, so you don't need to complete an application or anything. Takes less than a minute. Enjoy your stay!
A quick question please - if I have a prescription for a codeine based drug (and other drugs on the ‘permit required’l list) and a certified doctors report but am only in transit , so not actually “entering” Dubai do I still need to complete an offficial online application? I’ve seen so many conflicting reports that I am totally confused! I don’t want to take a chance on not being stopped at random - I want to get it right. Thanks in advance.
