HI! Me and my brother have booked a ticket from JFK to DXB the 19th of December. We have a few questions regarding this. I'm not sure if I'm writing to the appropriate department but would be grateful if you could forward this to the right department.
We are Nepalese citizens living in the United States, one of us is a US resident and the other is a F1 student. We are travelling to Nepal but have 2 different airlines tickets. The first one is from JKF to DXB DEP 19th (Saudi Arabian Airlines) and ARR on the 20 of December 2009, then we have an onward flight from DXB to KTM on the 21st (Gulf Airways).
What we wanted to know is, do we need a Dubai visa in order fly out of JFK since we will be only inside the airport waiting for our onward flight. The main confusion here is they are not connecting flights. We spoke to Dubai internal airport and they said we do not need a visa since we will be in the airport and had an onward flight to a different destination and incase we wanted we were eligible for a transit visa on arrival through the airport.
I would really appreciate if you could help us find an answer to this.
Thank you.
