Rahul Varshneya | | A friend of mine is planning a trip to dubai but doesnt know the visa formalities. How does one get a tourist visa? heard many people say that you need a sponsor even for a tourist visa to dubai. is it true?
Do let me know. Also, he's looking at a sort of a back-pack trip there, so would be great if someone can recommend budget hotels in Dubai.
Regards,

Basab Ghosh | | Airlines (Emirates) and Dubai / UAE hotels can provide UAE tourist visas if you avail their services. Check with local Emirates airlines office to know the formalities.
You will also find a selection of hotels on the internet. Check out www.godubai.com

Ram Sridhar | | No airlines can get you a VISA to Dubai. To visit Dubai, as an individual, you need to have a sponsor over there to send you the invitation as well as accept to be your sponsor.
The other alternatives will be one of these:
-your friend should have traveled to US or UK in the recent past or
-should have a bank a balance of Rs.500,000/-
There are a good no. of budget hotels available. Some of them are:
1. Arif Castle Hotel,close to Dubai Port (from US$130 onwards)
2.Al Sharq Hotel, Sharjah (12 kms from Dubai)-from US$75 onwards
3.Gulf Pearl Hotel, Dubai-from US$120 onwards,
4.St.George Hotel, Dubai Creek- from US$135 onwards
