DXB Separate Tickets Question
Hello Experts,
I am having two Separate tickets CDG-DXB on Air France and Different ticket DXB-BOM (Indigo) with 6 hours in DXB. My India Passport doesn't give free Visa on Arrival.
Question
Do I need to apply for Transit Visa for this and I need to exit with my luggage and re-entry ?
Or
Can I go to Connection Desk and get the luggage transferred without exit ?
Anybody had similar situation ?

I'm also in a similar situation, arriving on Ethiopian from Addis and connecting on Emirates to Trivandrum with a 17hr connect on the same day. Traveling on an Indian passport Would like to know the best way for this, and how to apply for transit visa if needed as the UAE govt website shows it can only be applied by a UAE based airline.

Is that the case even if I am arriving on an another airline (Ethiopian) and connecting on Emirates on a separate ticket? I called up Emirates call centre and they seemed not to know exactly if they'll provide a visa or not.

Have you guys checked Timatic? If it says no transit visa required, then there should be airside transit and you shouldn't have a problem at check in.

Depending on your connection time you can apply for transit visa for "48 hour Transit " or "96 hours Transit Visa"

I had Chat with Dubia Airport customer support and they confirmed that Transfer Desk (Connection Desk) will be able to transfer the checked Luggage to connecting airlines. Hopefully its work ok and don't need to use Transit Visa option.
