2. If you are eligible for a Visa on Arrival, walk over to the Marhaba desk on the opposite side and they will issue you a 14 day visa for AED 200.
Just to clarify, the above 2 only apply if you need a Visa for entry and have sent the required info to them but EK has not been able to process your visa by the time of your arrival. Happened to me once (decided to go with the AED 200 option) and was surprised to see several others whose Visas had not come through from EK. They mostly chose to head to the lounge.
