Transit through DXB
Hi all,
I am in BOM for some work and I found that I could do a quick Kingfisher night hop. I wanted to know if I would have any problems at DXB transit (about a 2 hr turnaround). I am a US citizen if that matters. Thanks for the help. |
WHat do you mean? A kingfisher night hop??
Oh never mind, as a US citizen you can freely transit through Dubai whatever you are doing before of after...that was your question, was it not? And yes, welcome to flyertalk |
You won't have problems in DXB, but you may have problems returning to India, depending on the type of visa you have.
Some visas require a 2 month wait between trips. |
Thanks for the welcome and quick replies! I have a 1 yr multiple entry visa. Would that be sufficient?

If you have a tourist visa, you will need to wait 2 months before reentry.
From this page: Question: When do I need a re-entry permit? Answer: The Permit to Re-enter within two months only applies to current Tourist Visa holders who need a permit which will allow the applicant to re-enter India within 2 months after last leaving India. This permit is granted only if the need is urgent, and not for Business Activities/Employment or pursuing studies/research, etc. If the visa holder is traveling to multiple countries on the same itinerary, no permit is needed as long as trip follows the itinerary exactly. The visa holder must carry a copy of the itinerary to show the Immigration Officer. If you would like to apply for a Permit to Re-enter within two months, please proceed to the Get An India Visa page. Or, you can visit the Permit to Re-enter requirements page for more detail. Question: I am traveling back and forth from India within the two-month period but during one single trip. Do I need a Permit to Re-enter? Answer: If the visa holder is traveling to multiple countries on the same itinerary, no permit is needed as long as trip follows the itinerary exactly. The visa holder must carry a copy of the itinerary to show the Immigration Officer. However, we cannot guarantee that you will be granted re-entry by the immigration official. |

If you have a 6 month visa the two month is waived, so look for any endorsements on your 1 yr visa. Maybe you are lucky :)
