Do I need a transit visa to transfer in Dubai?

You don't need a transit visa to transfer in Dubai with a China passport.

Malaysia, Dubai, Singapore and other places provide China citizens with relevant transit visa-free services. As long as they have visas and air tickets from a specific third country, they can travel in the transit country without visas. However, it is worth noting that countries usually have requirements for third-country visas held by tourists, and the transit visa-free period provided by each transit country varies.

Dubai is a popular transit point for east-west routes. You can transfer in Dubai with a China passport (within 24 hours) without a visa. Dubai international airport Customs provides a 96-hour transit visa, and you can apply if the transit time is more than 8 hours. However, it is necessary for the airline to apply, provide guarantee and show the hotel reservation form and personal travel itinerary, and this service provided by Emirates is the most convenient and fast.

Other countries that do not need to apply for transit visas for connecting flights:

1. Malaysia:

Generally, transit visas are not required for connecting flights in Malaysia. You can just find the next boarding gate without leaving the airport, and you do not need to enter the country. If you want to go out of the airport, you can apply for a free transit visa, and the stay time will not exceed 12 hours. However, the preconditions for handling such transit visas are as follows:

1. The entry and exit ports must be the same port.

2. Passport is valid for at least 6 months, and there is a printed ticket for departure from travel itinerary within 12 hours and a valid visa for the destination (except for countries that open visa-free/landing visa). 12 hours (5 days) are counted from the day the traveler enters the country, and no matter how early/late he arrives and leaves Malaysia, it is counted as one day.

2. Singapore:

Singapore has a 96-hour visa free transit facility (VFTF) policy. Tourists can apply for it if they have a travel visa from developed countries, but only from China to a third country via Singapore, or from a third country to China via Singapore. Only one visa can be used for the journey and return.
