[quote=sap001;65146]I understand the Dubai Government are introducing several new categories of visas for Dubai from 1/8/2008- 16 categories I believe. However I am puzzled about the difference between a tourist visa for 1 month costing AED 100 and a short entry visa costing AED 500 which is also for 1 month. What is the difference between the two types of visas? If I had a choice I would just go for the tourist visa costing AED 100 and save myself AED 400! Does anybody else agree with me?

There is difference between Visit Visa and tourist visa.
Tourist visa is issued only to tour operator companies based on their qouta.
it is valid for a month with a month grace period.(i,e for 2 months ) not renewable.
in Dubai it is called Online visa. The companies sell it for 1200- 1500 dirhams.
Now the roumour is after 1st august they will be increasing by 100%.
Visit visa is issued to individuals for bringing in their relatives and friends. Now from august 1 2008 this is going to change drastically.
