Travel Agents in UAE Offer Airport-to-Airport Packages for Same-Day Visa Status Change

In December last year, the UAE issued new visit visa protocols whereby travellers could no longer extend their visa within the country; those who wanted to do so were required to exit the UAE and return to be eligible to stay longer. To help such visitors, certain licensed UAE travel agents are offering special packages; travellers can now easily fly to a neighbouring nation and either wait in the airport and return on the same day or stay longer and arrive the next day to enjoy visiting the emirates once more.

The UAE has seen rising visitor numbers and more are expected this year especially since China eased its travel restrictions, paving the way for more Chinese tourists to plan holidays overseas. As highlighted on The National news website on 2nd March 2023, there has been a growing number of flights between China and the UAE too. For example, in February, Etihad Airways added to the weekly frequency of its route connecting Abu Dhabi and Shanghai. Tourists visiting the capital of the UAE have much to look forward to including safe stays at properties like Anantara Eastern Mangroves Abu Dhabi Hotel. For those based at such centrally located 5 star hotels, Abu Dhabi can truly be experienced once more be it for business or pleasure.
