FAQs
Can a Filipino working in Saudi Arabia get a Dubai tourist visa?
Yes. Filipino passport holders living in Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam or anywhere in Saudi Arabia can apply online for a 30 or 60-day UAE tourist visa through EEC Travels. Applications are submitted via official UAE sponsors and the visa is issued by UAE immigration authorities.
My profession on my Iqama / Civil ID is not eligible for the GCC resident eVisa. Can I still visit Dubai?
The official GCC resident eVisa depends on your residence status and profession. If you are not eligible, you can apply for a regular UAE tourist visa as a Filipino passport holder through EEC Travels. Our team checks your case on WhatsApp before you pay.
Which documents do Filipinos in Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain or Oman need?
A clear scan of your Philippine passport (valid at least 6 months) and a white-background photo. Children need a birth certificate copy. Our team will tell you if anything else is needed for your case.
Can my family in the Philippines meet me in Dubai?
Yes. Many OFWs in the GCC meet family in Dubai. Family members in the Philippines can apply for their own UAE tourist visa online with EEC Travels, and you can apply for yours from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain or Oman.
Do I need a flight booking for my application?
Some embassy or travel checks ask for a flight itinerary. EEC Travels offers a flight reservation for AED 80, for embassy documentation purposes only — it is not a ticket for boarding or travel.
Does EEC Travels issue UAE visas?
No. EEC Travels is a service provider based in Sharjah that submits applications through official UAE sponsors. Visa decisions are made only by UAE authorities.
