Abu Dhabi visa

sultan123

A travel agent has said to me they will apply from Dubai GDRFA and this visa will be valid all over UAE.

Is this possible as my flight is into Abu Dhabi and return flight is also from there? 

Can a Dubai visa be used for Abu Dhabi entry and exit?

Assuming you’re a UK passport holder then the attached applies https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/united-arab-emirates/entry-requirements

On my last visit it was a simple stamp on arrival in Abu Dhabi - no need to pre-apply - and it covered the UAE entirety

The OP doesn't say what nationality they are.  Presumably they aren't a UK passport holder.  Either that or the travel agent either doesn't know what they are doing or is trying to rip them off.

Have an indian passport and travelling from UK.

The agent says the visa we will provide you is valid for all over UAE.

Any advice?

I do not have british passport so need to obtain visa. All travel agents saying they will apply via GDFRA

I suggest that you seek advice from one of the airlines based in the United Arab Emirates, Etihad or Emirates. If you are flying with one of these, ask them to arrange your visa for you.

There is a world-wide database of visa requirements that airlines use. It is called TIMATIC, and the easiest way to consult it is through the website of a major airline.

Etihad or Emirates. If you are flying with one of these, ask them to arrange your visa for you.

Is such a thing possible..?

Yes, with Emirates you have to be travelling with them but Etihad will sponsor you even fi you aren't travelling with them.

I am flying with emirates but their visa portal is down and they said they do not know when it will be back.  They told me to try for visa via agent.

I have found a tour agency who said they can get me 14 day visa via GDFRA. Hence I am checking that visa is ok to enter Abu Dhabi.

Emirates can probably answer your question more accurately than anyone on these boards.
