Introduction

A tourist visa is a travel document that allows individuals to visit and explore a foreign country for recreational, sightseeing, or leisure purposes. It is typically granted to individuals who do not have the intention to work or engage in any business activities during their stay. A tourist visa is a temporary authorization and is subject to certain limitations and conditions.

For travelers planning to venture abroad, understanding the concept of a tourist visa is crucial. It serves as the key to unlock the doors of various countries, granting access to their rich cultural heritage, breathtaking landscapes, and memorable experiences. Whether you dream of exploring ancient ruins in Rome, basking in the sun-soaked beaches of Bali, or witnessing the marvels of wildlife in the African savannah, obtaining a tourist visa is often the first step.

In the following sections, we will delve deeper into the intricacies of a tourist visa, including its definition, purpose, application process, requirements, duration, and limitations. By familiarizing yourself with the ins and outs of a tourist visa, you will be better equipped to plan your travel adventures and make the most of your time in a foreign land.

Definition of a Tourist Visa

A tourist visa is a legal document issued by a foreign country’s government that allows individuals to enter their country for a temporary period of time for tourism-related activities. It is an endorsement or stamp placed in the traveler’s passport, indicating that they have permission to enter the country as a tourist.

The specific regulations and requirements for obtaining a tourist visa may vary from country to country. However, the common thread among all tourist visas is that they grant individuals the right to explore the country for a limited duration, typically ranging from a few days to several months.

Tourist visas are generally categorized as single-entry or multiple-entry visas. A single-entry visa allows the traveler to enter the country once and stay for the designated period. Once they leave the country, the visa becomes invalid. On the other hand, a multiple-entry visa permits the traveler to enter and exit the country multiple times within the specified validity period.

It’s important to note that a tourist visa does not confer the right to work, study, or engage in any business activities. If the individual wishes to engage in such activities, they must obtain the appropriate visa, such as a work visa or a student visa, respectively.

Each country has its own policies and requirements for issuing tourist visas. Some countries may have specific visa categories based on the purpose of travel, such as a tourist visa, business visa, or transit visa. It’s essential to understand the specific requirements and limitations of a tourist visa for your desired destination before applying.

Purpose of a Tourist Visa

The primary purpose of a tourist visa is to allow individuals to visit a foreign country for recreational, sightseeing, or leisure purposes. It enables travelers to explore new cultures, experience different landscapes, and indulge in the local traditions and attractions of the destination country.

Here are some key purposes and benefits of obtaining a tourist visa:

• Leisure Travel: A tourist visa allows individuals to take a break from their routine lives and enjoy a vacation in a foreign country. Whether it’s lounging on pristine beaches, exploring historical landmarks, or immersing oneself in vibrant city life, a tourist visa provides the opportunity to relax and have a memorable travel experience.
• Sightseeing and Cultural Exploration: Many travelers seek tourist visas to explore the rich cultural heritage of a country and witness its iconic landmarks, monuments, and attractions. It offers the chance to visit famous sites, museums, art galleries, and historical sites that are unique to the destination.
• Visiting Friends and Family: A tourist visa allows individuals to visit their friends or family members residing in another country. It provides an opportunity to strengthen relationships, spend quality time with loved ones, and experience the local customs and way of life.
• Attending Events and Festivals: Festivals and events are an integral part of a country’s culture and traditions. Tourist visas enable travelers to participate in various cultural festivals, religious celebrations, music concerts, or sports events that take place in the host country.
• Exploration of Natural Beauty: Many countries are known for their breathtaking landscapes, such as mountains, waterfalls, national parks, and wildlife reserves. A tourist visa allows nature enthusiasts to explore and appreciate the natural beauty of the destination.

Overall, a tourist visa opens up a world of opportunities for travelers to satisfy their wanderlust, immerse themselves in new experiences, and create lasting memories. It is the gateway to discovering the wonders and diversities that the world has to offer.

Duration and Limitations of a Tourist Visa

The duration of a tourist visa varies depending on the country issuing the visa and the specific regulations in place. In general, tourist visas have a validity period ranging from a few days to several months. It’s important to note that the duration of stay allowed under a tourist visa is distinct from the validity period of the visa itself.

Typically, the duration of stay permitted with a tourist visa ranges from 30 days to 90 days. However, some countries may grant shorter or longer periods of stay based on their individual immigration policies. It is important to check the specific details and limitations of the tourist visa for the intended destination before planning your trip.

It’s crucial to adhere to the limitations and conditions of the tourist visa. Failure to comply with the visa regulations may result in penalties, deportation, or future difficulties in obtaining visas for other countries. Here are some common limitations to keep in mind:

• No Work Permitted: The primary restriction on a tourist visa is that it does not allow individuals to engage in any form of employment or work-related activities. This includes both paid and unpaid work. If you wish to work in a foreign country, you will need to obtain the appropriate work visa or permit.
• No Business Activities: Similarly, a tourist visa also prohibits individuals from conducting business-related activities, such as attending conferences, meetings, or negotiating business deals. If you have business intentions, you must obtain a business visa that suits your specific needs.
• No Study or Education: A tourist visa is not intended for individuals seeking to pursue educational opportunities in a foreign country. If you plan to study, attend a course, or engage in any form of education, you will need to apply for a student visa.
• No Public Benefits: Individuals holding a tourist visa are generally not entitled to receive any public benefits or support from the host country, such as healthcare services or social security benefits.
• Restrictions on Extensions or Renewals: Some tourist visas may have limitations on extensions or renewals. It’s important to confirm the rules regarding extensions or renewals of a tourist visa before your initial entry to avoid any legal issues or overstaying situations.

It is vital to familiarize yourself with the specific limitations of the tourist visa for your desired destination. By respecting the restrictions imposed on a tourist visa, you can ensure a smooth and enjoyable travel experience while staying compliant with the laws and regulations of the host country.

Application Process for a Tourist Visa

The application process for a tourist visa may vary depending on the country you plan to visit. Each country has its own specific requirements and procedures. It is important to thoroughly research and understand the process before applying for a tourist visa. Here are the general steps involved in the application process:

Visit the official website of the country’s embassy or consulate to find detailed information about the application process, necessary documents, and any additional requirements.

• Pay the Application Fee: Most tourist visa applications require payment of a non-refundable application fee. The fee amount and payment methods will be specified by the embassy or consulate. Ensure that you have the funds available to cover the fee before submitting your application.
• Schedule an Appointment: Some countries require applicants to schedule an appointment at the embassy or consulate to submit their visa application and supporting documents. Follow the instructions provided to schedule an appointment within the designated timeframe.
• Attend the Visa Interview: Depending on the country and visa requirements, you may be required to attend a visa interview. Prepare yourself by reviewing your application and supporting documents thoroughly, and be prepared to answer questions about your travel plans and intent.
• Submit Application and Supporting Documents: On the scheduled appointment day, visit the embassy or consulate to submit your completed visa application form and supporting documents. Ensure that you have all the required documents in the specified format, as per the instructions provided.
• Wait for Visa Processing: After submitting your application, you will need to wait for the visa processing period. The processing time can vary, depending on the country and other factors such as the time of year and current workload of the embassy or consulate.

• Collect your Visa: Once the processing is complete, you will be notified to collect your passport with the visa attached. Follow the instructions provided by the embassy or consulate to retrieve your passport. Ensure that all the details on the visa are correct before leaving the embassy or consulate.

It is essential to follow the instructions carefully and submit all the required documents as per the guidelines to avoid any delays or issues with your tourist visa application. If you have any doubts or questions, seeking assistance from a visa agency or consulting with the embassy or consulate can be helpful.

Requirements for Obtaining a Tourist Visa

Obtaining a tourist visa requires fulfilling certain requirements set by the country you plan to visit. These requirements may vary depending on the destination and the specific policies and regulations in place. It is important to thoroughly research and prepare the necessary documents to meet these requirements. Here are some common requirements for obtaining a tourist visa:

• Valid Passport: A valid passport is a fundamental requirement for obtaining a tourist visa. Your passport should have a validity of at least six months beyond your intended stay in the country.
• Completed Application Form: Most countries require applicants to complete a specific tourist visa application form accurately and legibly. Make sure to provide all the required information and double-check for any errors or omissions.
• Passport-Sized Photographs: Prepare recent passport-sized photographs that meet the specifications of the country you are applying to. Typically, these photographs should have a white background and adhere to specific size and format guidelines.
• Proof of Travel Itinerary: Provide a detailed travel itinerary that showcases your planned activities, including information on accommodations, transportation, and sightseeing. This includes flight reservations, hotel bookings, and any organized tours or activities you plan to undertake.
• Proof of Sufficient Funds: Demonstrate that you have enough financial resources to cover your expenses during your stay. This may include bank statements, sponsorship letters, or any other evidence that shows you can afford your travel and accommodation costs.
• Proof of Health Insurance: Some countries require proof of health insurance coverage for the duration of your stay. Make sure to have valid travel medical insurance that meets the requirements of the country you are visiting.
• Letter of Invitation (if applicable): If you are visiting friends or family, they may need to provide a formal invitation letter outlining your relationship and the purpose of your visit. This letter may need to be notarized or authenticated by relevant authorities.
• Travel History and Intent: In some cases, you may need to provide evidence of previous international travel, such as previous visa stamps or entry/exit records. It is important to demonstrate a genuine intent of visiting for tourism purposes only and not for any other activities like work or immigration.
• Additional Documentation: Depending on the country, there may be additional requirements specific to the destination or the applicant’s circumstances. These may include proof of employment, educational qualifications, marital status, or any other supporting documents deemed necessary by the embassy or consulate.

It is essential to carefully review the specific requirements for the tourist visa of your desired destination and ensure that you gather all the necessary documents before submitting your application. Failure to provide the required documents may result in delays or rejection of your visa application, so it is crucial to pay attention to detail and meet all the stipulated requirements.

Cost of a Tourist Visa

The cost of a tourist visa varies depending on the country you intend to visit and your nationality. Each country sets its own visa fees, which can range from a nominal amount to a significant sum, depending on factors such as visa type, duration of stay, and reciprocity agreements between countries.

When planning to apply for a tourist visa, it is important to consider the visa fees as part of your travel budget. The fees cover administrative costs associated with processing your application and are generally non-refundable, even if your visa application is rejected.

The cost of a tourist visa can vary greatly from country to country. Some countries offer different pricing tiers based on the duration of stay or the number of entries allowed. For example, a single-entry short-term tourist visa may have a lower fee than a multiple-entry long-term tourist visa.

In addition to the visa application fees, there may be additional costs involved in the visa application process, such as courier fees for returning your passport, visa processing fees, or fees for any required supporting documents such as health insurance or invitation letters.

The best way to determine the exact cost of a tourist visa is to refer to the official website of the embassy or consulate of the country you wish to visit. They will provide detailed information about the visa fees, payment methods, and any additional costs associated with the application process.

It is important to note that visa fees are subject to change, so it is advisable to check for any updates or changes in the fees before submitting your application. Additionally, some countries may offer expedited processing services for an additional fee if you need your visa quickly.

When planning your trip, make sure to account for the cost of the tourist visa to ensure that you have sufficient funds available to cover all travel expenses, including visa fees. By budgeting accordingly and being aware of the costs involved, you can smoothly navigate the visa application process and focus on enjoying your travel adventures.

Renewal and Extension of a Tourist Visa

The renewal and extension policies for tourist visas vary from country to country. While some countries allow for the renewal or extension of a tourist visa, others may require individuals to exit and reapply for a new visa after a certain period of time. It is important to familiarize yourself with the specific regulations of the country you are visiting to understand the options available for extending or renewing your tourist visa.

In countries that do allow for the renewal or extension of a tourist visa, the process typically involves submitting an application to the immigration authorities. Here are some key points to consider:

• Eligibility: Not all tourist visas are eligible for renewal or extension. Some countries may impose limitations on the number of times a tourist visa can be extended or the total duration of stay allowed as a tourist. It is crucial to check the eligibility criteria before applying for a renewal or extension.
• Application Process: Generally, the application process for renewal or extension involves completing the appropriate forms, providing the necessary supporting documents, and paying any applicable fees. The required documents may include a valid passport, proof of financial means, proof of travel itinerary or accommodations, and a letter explaining the purpose and need for the extension.
• Timing: It is advisable to start the renewal or extension process well in advance of the expiration date of your current visa. The processing time may vary, and it is important to ensure that you have a valid visa while your application is being reviewed.
• Fees: There may be fees associated with the renewal or extension of a tourist visa. These fees can vary depending on the country and the specific circumstances of the application. It is important to check the fee schedule and make necessary payments during the application process.
• Decision and Notification: Once you have submitted your renewal or extension application, it will be reviewed by the immigration authorities. The decision will be communicated to you through the appropriate channels. It is essential to regularly check your email or mail for updates and follow any instructions provided.

It is important to note that the renewal or extension of a tourist visa is not guaranteed. The immigration authorities have the discretion to accept or deny an application based on various factors, including the applicant’s compliance with visa regulations, the purpose of the extension, and the overall immigration policies of the country.

If your renewal or extension application is approved, you will typically receive a new visa or an extended validity period attached to your existing visa. On the other hand, if your application is denied, you may be required to leave the country before the expiration of your current visa.

It is highly recommended to consult the official website of the country’s embassy or consulate and seek guidance from immigration authorities or visa service providers for detailed and up-to-date information on the renewal or extension process for the specific tourist visa you hold.

Differences between a Tourist Visa and Other Types of Visas

While a tourist visa allows individuals to visit a foreign country for recreational or leisure purposes, there are other types of visas that cater to different purposes of travel. Understanding the differences between a tourist visa and other visa categories is crucial to ensure that you apply for the correct visa based on your intended activities and duration of stay. Here are some key distinctions:

• Work Visa: A work visa, also known as an employment visa, is issued to individuals who intend to work in a foreign country. Unlike a tourist visa, a work visa authorizes the holder to engage in specific employment activities, whether it’s temporary employment or long-term employment with a company or organization in the destination country. Work visas often have stricter requirements and may require sponsorship from an employer.
• Student Visa: A student visa is designed for individuals who wish to pursue their education in a foreign country. It allows students to enroll in educational programs, such as universities, colleges, or language schools. Student visas typically have specific conditions regarding the length of stay, enrollment in a recognized educational institution, and financial requirements to cover tuition and living expenses.
• Business Visa: A business visa is granted to individuals who need to travel for business-related activities, such as attending conferences, meetings, or establishing business connections in a foreign country. While a tourist visa prohibits engaging in business activities, a business visa allows individuals to participate in specified business-related activities for a limited duration. The requirements and restrictions for business visas may vary depending on the country.
• Transit Visa: A transit visa is intended for individuals passing through a country en route to their final destination. It allows for a short stay during a layover or when changing flights. Transit visas generally have a limited validity period and may require proof of onward travel or a valid ticket to the final destination.
• Residence Permit/Visa: A residence permit or visa is a long-term visa that allows individuals to reside in a foreign country for an extended period. It is typically granted for purposes such as employment, study, family reunification, or investment. Unlike a tourist visa, residence permits allow individuals to stay in the country for an extended period and often come with additional rights and privileges.

It’s important to note that the requirements, application processes, and limitations of these visa categories can vary significantly from country to country. It is crucial to thoroughly research and understand the specific regulations and requirements for each visa type based on your intended activities and duration of stay.

Applying for the correct visa type ensures that you comply with the immigration laws of the country and enables you to engage in the activities you plan during your time abroad. It is advisable to consult with the embassy or consulate of the country you wish to visit or seek assistance from a trusted visa agency to navigate through the visa application process smoothly.

Important Considerations for Tourists Holding a Tourist Visa

When traveling on a tourist visa, there are several important considerations that tourists should keep in mind to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience. Here are some key points to consider:

• Adherence to Visa Regulations: It is essential to adhere to the regulations and conditions of your tourist visa. This includes respecting the permitted duration of stay, refraining from engaging in unauthorized work or business activities, and abiding by any other restrictions outlined by the immigration authorities. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in penalties, deportation, or difficulties in future visa applications.
• Valid Passport and Visa: Always carry a valid passport and your tourist visa while traveling. Make copies of these documents and keep them in a separate place as a precaution. In the event of loss or theft, having copies will facilitate the replacement process.
• Health and Travel Insurance: Obtain suitable health and travel insurance coverage before your trip. It is essential to have insurance that covers medical expenses, trip cancellation, and any other unforeseen circumstances that may arise during your travels. Check the specific requirements and coverage needed for your destination.
• Respect Local Laws and Customs: Familiarize yourself with the local laws, customs, and cultural norms of the country you are visiting. Respect the local traditions, dress codes, and religious practices. It is important to conduct yourself in a manner that is considerate and appropriate to the local culture.
• Currency and Finances: Be aware of the local currency and familiarize yourself with the prevailing exchange rates. Carry a mix of cash and internationally accepted credit or debit cards for payments. Keep track of your expenses and be mindful of any currency exchange fees or transaction charges that may apply.
• Safety and Security: Prioritize your safety and take precautions while traveling. Research and be aware of any potential safety concerns, such as high-crime areas or health risks. Stay vigilant, secure your belongings, and follow any safety advice or warnings issued by local authorities or your embassy.
• Communication and Language: Learn a few basic phrases in the local language to facilitate communication. Carry a translation app or guidebook for assistance. Having a basic understanding of the local language can help you navigate more effectively, interact with locals, and enhance your overall travel experience.
• Travel Itinerary and Flexibility: Plan your travel itinerary in advance, but also allow for flexibility and spontaneity. Be prepared for unexpected changes or delays, and have contingency plans in place. Make sure to provide your contact details to a trusted family member or friend so they can reach you in case of emergencies.
• Responsible Tourism: Practice responsible tourism by respecting the environment, wildlife, and local communities. Observe and follow guidelines for sustainable tourism, such as avoiding littering, supporting local businesses, and being mindful of your environmental footprint.

By considering these important factors, tourists can make the most of their time on a tourist visa, ensuring a memorable and rewarding travel experience. It is always a good idea to stay informed, remain respectful, and embrace the opportunities for cultural exchange and exploration that come with international travel.

Obtaining a tourist visa is a crucial step for individuals who wish to explore the wonders of a foreign country for leisure, sightseeing, and recreational purposes. Understanding the definition, purpose, and limitations of a tourist visa is essential to ensure a hassle-free and enjoyable travel experience.

ദുബായ് ∙ യുഎഇ യാത്രയ്ക്ക് ഒരുങ്ങുന്ന പലരെയും പുതിയ സന്ദർശന വീസ നിബന്ധനകൾ ആശങ്കയിലാഴ്ത്തിയിരിക്കുകയാണ്. യാത്രക്കാർ 3,000 ദിർഹമോ തത്തുല്യമായ കറൻസിയോ, ക്രെഡിറ്റ് കാർഡോ കൈവശം വയ്ക്കണമെന്ന നിബന്ധനയാണ് ഇതിൽ ഏറ്റവും ശ്രദ്ധേയം. പാസ്പോർട്ടിന് ചുരുങ്ങിയത് ആറ് മാസത്തെ കാലാവധി ഉണ്ടായിരിക്കണം. ആറ് മാസത്തെ ബാങ്ക് സ്റ്റേറ്റ്മെന്‍റ്,സാധുവായ റിട്ടേൺ ടിക്കറ്റ്,താമസ സൗകര്യത്തിന്‍റെ തെളിവ് (ഹോട്ടൽ ബുക്കിങ്, താമസസ്ഥലത്തിന്‍റെ വാടക കരാർ തുടങ്ങിയവ),ബന്ധുവിന്‍റെയോ സുഹൃത്തിന്‍റെയോ കൂടെയാണ് താമസമെങ്കിൽ അവരുടെ മേൽവിലാസം, എമിറേറ്റ്സ് ഐഡി യുടെ പകർപ്പ് (താമസിക്കുന്ന വ്യക്തിയുടേത്) എന്നിവ കൈവശം വയ്ക്കണമെന്ന നിബന്ധനകൾ നേരത്തെയുള്ളതാണ്. 2020 സെപ്റ്റംബറിൽ ഈ നിബന്ധനകളിൽ ഇളവ് നൽകിയിരുന്നു. 

പരിശോധന കർശനം; യുഎഇ യാത്ര മുടങ്ങി ഒട്ടേറെപ്പേർ

ദോഹ – കോഴിക്കോട് യാത്ര 22 മണിക്കൂർ: എസി ഓഫ് ചെയ്ത വിമാനത്തിൽ ഉറക്കം; ഭക്ഷണം പുലർച്ചെ മൂന്നരയ്ക്ക്!

 3,000 ദിർഹം (ഏകദേശം 68,000 രൂപ) കൈയിൽ കരുതണമെന്ന പുതിയ നിബന്ധന യുഎഇയിൽ തൊഴിൽ സ്വപ്നം കാണുന്നവരെയും പ്രധാനമായി ബാധിക്കുന്നു. ആറ് മാസത്തെ ബാങ്ക് സ്റ്റേറ്റ്മെന്‍റ്, തിരിച്ചുള്ള യാത്ര ടിക്കറ്റ്, താമസ സൗകര്യത്തിന്‍റെ തെളിവ് എന്നിവയും നിബന്ധനകളിൽ ഉൾപ്പെടുന്നു. ബന്ധുവിന്‍റെയോ സുഹൃത്തിന്‍റെയോ ആശ്രയയിൽ  താമസിക്കുന്നവർ അവരുടെ വിവരങ്ങളും ഹാജരാക്കണം.

കഴിഞ്ഞ ദിവസങ്ങളിൽ നിബന്ധനകൾ പാലിക്കാതിരുന്ന മലയാളികളടക്കമുള്ള യാത്രക്കാരെ വിമാനത്താവളങ്ങളിൽ തടഞ്ഞുവച്ചിരുന്നു. ഇത് യാത്രക്കാർക്ക് വലിയ നിരാശയുണ്ടാക്കിയിട്ടുണ്ട്. യുഎഇയിലേക്ക് സന്ദർശക വീസയിൽ തൊഴിൽത്തേടി എത്തുന്നവരെ നിരാശപ്പെടുത്തുമെന്നും ഇത്തരം നിബന്ധനകൾ ബിസിനസിനെ ബാധിക്കുമെന്നും ട്രാവൽ ഏജന്‍സികൾ ആശങ്ക പ്രകടിപ്പിച്ചതിനാലാണ് കർശന നിബന്ധനകൾ നേരത്തെ പിൻവലിച്ചത്. ഇപ്പോഴത് വീണ്ടും നിർബന്ധമാക്കിയത് പലരെയും കുടുക്കിയിരിക്കുന്നു. എന്നാൽ, ആറ് മാസത്തെ ബാങ്ക് സ്റ്റേറ്റ്മെന്‍റ് വേണമെന്നത് ഇപ്പോഴും അത്ര കർശനമല്ല.‌‌

യുഎഇ സന്ദർശന വീസാ നിബന്ധനകൾ കടുപ്പിച്ചതോടെ നിരവധി മലയാളികൾ ഉൾപ്പടെയുള്ള യാത്രക്കാർ പ്രതിസന്ധിയിലായി.  വിമാനത്താവളങ്ങളിൽ വെച്ച് നിബന്ധനകൾ പാലിക്കാത്ത യാത്രക്കാരെ അധികൃതർ തടഞ്ഞുനിർത്തുകയും തിരിച്ചയക്കുകയും ചെയ്യുന്നുണ്ട്. ചിലർ ദുബായിലെ വിമാനത്താവളങ്ങളിൽ കുടുങ്ങിയതായുമാണ് റിപ്പോർട്ട്. നിബന്ധനകൾ കടുപ്പിച്ചത് യുഎഇയില്‍ ഒരു മികച്ച ജോലി സ്വപ്നം കണ്ടിരുന്നവരെ കടുത്ത നിരാശയിലാക്കി. പാവപ്പെട്ട കുടുംബങ്ങളിലെ പലരും വളരെ കഷ്ടപ്പെട്ടാണ് വീസയ്ക്കും വിമാന യാത്രയ്ക്കുമുള്ള പണം കണ്ടെത്തുന്നത്. ഇവർ 68,000 രൂപയോളം കൈയിൽ കരുതണമെന്നത് അസാധ്യവുമാണ്.

ദുബായിലേക്ക് യാത്ര ചെയ്യുന്ന ആളുകൾക്ക് കുറഞ്ഞത് ആറ് മാസത്തെ കാലാവധിയുള്ള പാസ്‌പോർട്ടിനൊപ്പം സാധുവായ വീസ ഉണ്ടായിരിക്കണം. കൂടാതെ സ്ഥിരീകരിച്ച റിട്ടേൺ ടിക്കറ്റ് കൈവശം വയ്ക്കണം. നേരത്തേയുള്ള പരിശോധനകളാണിവയെന്നും യാത്ര പുറപ്പെടും മുൻപ് എല്ലാവരും ഇത് ശ്രദ്ധിക്കണമെന്നും സ്മാർട് ട്രാവൽസ് എംഡി അഫി അഹമ്മദ് മനോരമ ഓൺലൈനിനോട് പറഞ്ഞു. ആദ്യം യുഎഇയിലെ വിമാനത്താവളങ്ങളിൽ നിന്നാണ് അവരെ തിരിച്ചയച്ചത്. പിന്നീട് അത് ഇന്ത്യയിലെ വിവിധ വിമാനത്താവളങ്ങളിൽ നിന്നുമായി. ഇടുക്കി ജില്ലയിലെ ഒട്ടേറെ യുവതീയുവാക്കൾ കേരളത്തിലെ വിമാനത്താവളത്തിൽ നിന്ന് തിരിച്ചയക്കപ്പെട്ട റിപോർട് കഴിഞ്ഞദിവസമുണ്ടായിരുന്നു.  എന്നാൽ ദുബായ് എമിഗ്രേഷൻ അധികൃതർ ഇതുസംബന്ധമായ പ്രസ്താവന ഇതുവരെ പുറത്തിറക്കിയിട്ടില്ല.

∙ ബന്ധുക്കളാണെങ്കിൽ കൂടെ വരാൻ ശ്രമിക്കുക യഥാർഥത്തിൽ 5,000 ദിർഹമോ തത്തുല്യമായ സംഖ്യയോ കൈവശമുണ്ടായിരിക്കണമെന്നാണ് നിയമം. എങ്കിലും ചുരുങ്ങിയത് 3000 ദിർഹമെങ്കിലും കരുതിയിരിക്കണം. കൂടാതെ ഹോട്ടലിന്‍റെയോ, ബന്ധു, സുഹൃത്തുക്കൾ എന്നിവരുടേയോ മേൽവിലാസവും മറ്റു രേഖകളും കൈയിലുണ്ടെന്ന് ഉറപ്പുവരുത്തണം. യുഎഇയിലുള്ള ബന്ധുക്കളുടെ അടുത്തേയ്ക്കാണ് സന്ദർശക വീസക്കാർ വരുന്നതെങ്കില്‍ കഴിവതും അവരുടെ കൂടെ തന്നെ യാത്ര ചെയ്യാൻ ശ്രമിക്കണമെന്നും അഫി പറയുന്നു.

∙ തൊഴിൽത്തേടിയെത്തി തിരിച്ചുപോകാത്തവർ ഏറെ സന്ദർശക വീസയിൽ വന്ന് തിരിച്ചുപോകാത്തവരുടെ എണ്ണം വീണ്ടും പെരുകിയതാണ് അധികൃതർ നിബന്ധനകൾ കർശനമാക്കാൻ കാരണമെന്നാണ് കരുതുന്നത്. കോവിഡ്19ന് ശേഷം തൊഴിൽത്തേടി സന്ദർശക വീസയിലെത്തുന്നവർ കൂടിയിട്ടുണ്ട്. എന്നാൽ, മഹാരോഗം അകന്നുപോയ ഉടൻ ഉണ്ടായിരുന്ന ജോലി ഒഴിവുകളെല്ലാം പെട്ടെന്ന് നികത്തപ്പെട്ടതും സാമ്പത്തിക രംഗത്തിന്‍റെ ഉണർവ് പതുക്കെ ആയതിനാലും കൂടുതൽ തൊഴിൽ തസ്തികകൾ സൃഷ്ടിക്കപ്പെടുകയുണ്ടായില്ല. നിലവിൽ യുഎഇയിൽ ആയിരക്കണക്കിന് പേർ തൊഴിൽ തേടി അലയുന്നുണ്ട്. ഇവരിൽ മലയാളികളുൾപ്പെടെയുള്ളവർ കൂടുതലും ഉന്നത വിദ്യാഭ്യാസം നേടിയവരും പ്രവൃത്തി പരിചയമുള്ളവരുമാണ്.

ദുബായിലെത്തുന്ന യാത്രക്കാരുടെ സുരക്ഷയ്ക്കായി വിമാനത്താവളത്തിൽ പരിശോധനകൾ നടക്കുന്നുണ്ട്. അധിക ദിവസം താമസിച്ചതിന് നിരവധി കേസുകൾ ഇതിനകം റിപ്പോർട്ട് ചെയ്യപ്പെട്ടു. അധികൃതരുടെ ഈ നടപടി എമിറേറ്റിലെ ടൂറിസം മേഖലയ്ക്ക്  ഗുണകരമാകുമെന്നാണ് ട്രാവൽ ആൻഡ് ടൂറിസം രംഗത്തുള്ളവരുടെ അഭിപ്രായം. കർശനമായ പരിശോധനകൾ സുതാര്യത നൽകുകയും യുഎഇയിലേക്ക് യാത്ര ചെയ്യുന്ന ആളുകൾക്ക് എന്തെങ്കിലും പൊരുത്തക്കേടുകൾ ഉണ്ടാകുന്നത് തടയുകയും ചെയ്യുന്നു.

∙ വിമാനത്താവളത്തിൽ കുടുങ്ങിയവര്‍ കഴിഞ്ഞ ദിവസം കേരളത്തിൽ നിന്ന് ദുബായ് വിമാനത്താവളത്തിലെത്തിയവരാണ് ആദ്യമായി മതിയായ രേഖകള്‍ ഹാജരാക്കാത്തതിനാൽ പ്രതിസന്ധിയിലായത്. പലരും പണമുണ്ടെന്നതിന്‍റെ തെളിവ് ഹാജരാക്കിയെങ്കിലും യുഎഇയിലെ താമസ സൗകര്യത്തിന്‍റെ തെളിവ് നൽകാനായില്ല. ബന്ധുക്കളുടെ കൂടെയാണ് താമസിക്കുന്നത് എന്ന് അറിയിച്ചപ്പോൾ, അദ്ദേഹത്തിന്‍റെ എമിറേറ്റ്സ്  ഐഡിയും താമസ സ്ഥലത്തിന്‍റെ മേൽവിലാസവും അന്വേഷിച്ചു. ഇത് ഹാജരാക്കാനാക്കാത്തതിനാൽ തിരിച്ചു പോകേണ്ടി വന്നു. ചിലർക്ക് വിമാനത്താവളത്തിലെ കാത്തിരിപ്പ് കേന്ദ്രത്തിൽ മണിക്കൂറുകളോളം കാത്തിരിക്കേണ്ടി വന്നു. ട്രാവൽ ഏജന്‍റ് ഇത്തരം കാര്യങ്ങളെക്കുറിച്ച് വേണ്ടത്ര ബോധവത്കരണം നടത്താത്തതാണ് കാരണമായത്. എന്നാൽ, നേരത്തെ നിയമം ഇത്ര കര്‍ശനമല്ലാത്തതിനാലാണ് ഇത്തരം കാര്യങ്ങൾ അറിയിക്കാതെ പോയതെന്ന് ട്രാവൽസ് അധികൃതരും പറയുന്നു.

SCHENGEN VISA POLICY

The Schengen visa policy was introduced in 1995 which abolished internal borders between the Schengen countries. 

Once you have obtained a Schengen visa, you can travel freely between the Schengen member countries without any border controls. For example, if you enter France and would like to go to Germany, you will not pass through passport controls at the France-Germany border. 

Keep in mind that the Schengen visa policy only applies to the Schengen area and not to the entire European Union.

Schengen visa countries

There are currently 27 countries in the Schengen area that you can visit with a single Schengen visa. Below is the list of countries.

• Czech Republic

Apart from the above 27 Schengen member countries, you also travel to 50 non-Schengen countries visa-free using a Schengen visa .

SCHENGEN VISA EXEMPTION (ETIAS FROM 2024)

Currently, 62 nationalities can enter the Schengen area without a visa. Though you do not require a visa, you must consider the total duration of your stay in the Schengen area and must carry the mandatory documents.

Duration of Stay in Schengen Area – the 90 days/180 days rule

Non-EU Passport holders who are visa EXEMPT are allowed to stay in the Schengen area countries for up to 90 days within a period of 180 days. This “90 days in any 180 days” applies to all short-stay visitors to the Schengen area.

• Stays in EU countries that are NOT part of the Schengen area (Bulgaria, Romania, Cyprus and Ireland) are not counted in calculating the period of stay.
• Stays in non-EU countries that are part of the Schengen area (Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland) are counted in calculating the period of stay compliance with the 90-day / 180-day rule.
• Both the day of entry and the day of exit are counted in the calculation.
• The 180-day period is referenced backward from the day of checking.
• A simple rule of thumb is, if you are out of the Schengen area for a continuous period of 90 days allows you a new stay of 90 days.

You can use the Schengen calculator to determine the number of days you are allowed to stay in the Schengen area. Here is the manual on how to use the Schengen calculator.

Documents to carry

Visa EXEMPT individuals must carry the following documents when entering the Schengen member states.

• Valid passport
• Proof of onward travel
• Proof of accommodation

SCHENGEN VISA FROM THE EMBASSY

Currently, 104 non-EU nationals require a visa to enter the Schengen area. These nationals must be in possession of a Schengen visa when entering the Schengen zone.

Validity of Schengen Visa

The Schengen visa validity depends on whether you are a first-time applicant or a subsequent applicant. 

First-time application: If you are applying for the first time, your visa will be valid for the exact number of days you have asked for. In some instances, you may get a few buffer days as additional. 

For example, if your itinerary is 12 days, your visa will be valid for exactly 12 days. 

As a first-time visa applicant, I suggest adding a few extra days to your itinerary so you will get a few extra days on your visa validity. That way, you can have some flexibility in your travel plans.

First-time Schengen visas are usually single-entry or double-entry. 

Subsequent applications: If you are applying for the second or third time, you may likely get a visa valid for 90 days. The visa may likely be multiple-entry. 

Rules for obtaining Schengen visa valid for 1, 2 or 5 years

• To obtain a 1-year Schengen visa, you must have obtained and used 3 Schengen visas within the last 2 years
• To obtain a 2-year Schengen visa, you must have obtained and used a 1-year Schengen visa within the last 2 years
• To obtain a 5-year Schengen visa, you must have obtained and used a 2-year Schengen visa within the last 3 years

Duration of Stay in Schengen area – the 90 days/180 days rule

Visa-required passport holders are allowed to stay in the Schengen area for up to 90 days within a period of 180 days. This “90 days in any 180 days” applies to all short-stay visitors to the Schengen area.

• Stays in non-EU countries that are part of the Schengen area (Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland) are counted in calculating the period of stay compliance with the 90 days / 180-day rule.

Where to apply for Schengen visa

Most tourists plan to travel to more than one country during their Europe trip. The Schengen visa is valid for 27 countries, so you must first determine your Schengen country of application. This helps greatly in avoiding visa delays and refusals.

Follow the below guidelines to determine your country of application.

CASE 1: If you plan to visit only one Schengen country, you must apply for your visa at the consulate of that particular country.

Example: If you are traveling to Spain only, then you must apply for your visa at the Spain Embassy or Consulate.

CASE 2: If you plan to visit several Schengen countries, you must apply for your visa at the consulate of the country of your main destination (the country where you will be spending most days).

Example: If your itinerary is 10 days of which 4 days in Spain and 6 days in France, then you must apply for your visa at the French consulate since you will be spending more time in France.

CASE 3: If you intend to visit several Schengen countries but do not have a main destination (same amount of days in each country) then you should apply for your visa at the consulate of the country of your first point of entry.

Example: If your itinerary is 10 days of which you will be spending 5 days in the Netherlands first and 5 days in France after, then you must apply for a visa at the Netherlands Consulate since the Netherlands is your first port of entry.

When to apply for Schengen visa

You must apply for your Schengen visa no later than 15 days prior to your travel. Otherwise, your application will not be accepted.

You can apply for your visa up to 6 months in advance. So, apply as soon as you can to avoid delays, refusals and disappointments.

Schengen Visa Application Process

The fee must be paid in local currency, in the form of cash or bank money order. Most Schengen consulates have outsourced the visa process to VFS or BLS. Therefore, in addition to the visa fee, you may have to pay a fee for biometric collection and courier services.

ENTRY AND EXIT PROCEDURE AT THE AIRPORT

Entering Schengen Zone by Air

You do not need to fill in any arrival/departure card on entering the Schengen area. Do not panic if your flight attendant did not give you an arrival/departure card on your flight.

At the immigration, you will generally be asked about your final destination, places you will be visiting and the number of days you are planning on staying. You might also be asked if it is your first time in Europe.

The immigration officer will stamp your passport upon arrival. The number of days you are allowed to stay will not be marked on your passport.

As always, carry a copy of your return ticket and hotel booking just in case. If you are traveling on a one-way ticket, don’t forget to get proof of onward ticket .

Leaving Schengen Zone by Air

You must go through passport control on exiting the Schengen area. You will not be asked any questions unless you have overstayed your visa. Passport control is fairly quick, about 10-15 minutes depending on the airport.

Visitor Visa Application Timing

• Thread starter appleuser
• Start date Aug 20, 2024

My friend is trying to come to Canada in June next year, she already wants to start applying for the visitor visa. Is it any suspicious for the visa officer to state that she plan to enter Canada in June, so far away from now? Should she wait to apply? Should she instead say that she would be coming sooner (say in December) when she doesn't plan to?  

No. It is a good idea to apply ahead of time.
