I understand the Dubai Government are introducing several new categories of visas for Dubai from 1/8/2008- 16 categories I believe. However I am puzzled about the difference between a tourist visa for 1 month costing AED 100 and a short entry visa costing AED 500 which is also for 1 month. What is the difference between the two types of visas? If I had a choice I would just go for the tourist visa costing AED 100 and save myself AED 400! Does anybody else agree with me?
