The hotel can sponsor a guest who wishes to visit Dubai and stays at the Riviera hotel during their visit. Under UAE law, a guest on a hotel visa must be registered at the hotel for the full period that they are in the UAE.

The hotel can arrange a 14 day transit visa. The cost is as follows:

Once the visa is issued it is valid for up to 14 days.

Guests must fax or email a copy of their passport to the hotel requesting us to arrange their visa. We will then fax a copy of a credit card authorisation form, which must be completed and sent back before any application to the Immigration department can be made.

Once the visa has been issued we will fax a copy of the visa to you, which will need to be shown when checking-in at the airport.

We will then arrange to deposit the original visa at the airport for you to pick-up before passing through immigration. The hotel driver will be at the airport to bring you to the hotel.

The Riviera Hotel reserves the right not to apply for a guest visa, for whatever reason.

Once the request has been made, the visa charge is payable in full, regardless of whether the guest travels or not.

Dubai immigration now allows 34 countries to obtain their visa upon arrival at Dubai Airport, at no cost. If you are unsure whether or not you need to arrange a visa before arrival, please contact us.
