A Visa Free World

Internet is rapidly increasing its subscribers from whole the countries. This world has become a global village. As we enter into any country with out any type visa by using internet then there should also no need of visa to enter physically into any country. Visa limitation has badly violated the global village concept. Boundaries are for safety not for visa. A bird has no need to any visa to enter into any country but a superficial human being need a visa. All the countries should have equal laws of visa so every body know about each and every thing about every country of this world. If we will be able to make this world visa free then this world become more and more prosperous and happy. Student visa has restricted the education for particular persons. Work visa has limit the people to get benefit of the expertise. Family visa has turned the family away from each other. In short visa has made our life complicated. If we really and truly wants that this world become global village then we have to create this beautiful world a Visa Free World.

Dubai Visa Information

If you are a national of the GCC, you do not require a Visa to enter Dubai.

Countries within the GCC comprise Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman and Saudi Arabia. These nations have very close ties with Dubai and share many political and religious views. If you are just an inhabitant of the GCC nations, you could get a 30 day Dubai Visa upon getting into the Emirate.

Transit Visas

If you are simply flying by Dubai on your way elsewhere, you could get a Transit Visa if you can display a continuing air travel ticket. This Visa is only a 4 day (96 hour) Visa but is just right for you if you're a tourist so that you could take some days and tour Dubai.

This Visa would be issued by any airline operating in the UAE and is free. Emirates will usually permit you a multiple day layover since the airline is based in Dubai. Very few airlines permit you this choice thus take advantage of it anytime you can. Consider this option whenever you've got a layover in Dubai.

Do Not Overstay

You'll be deported if you overstay in Dubai for an excessive period of time. You may be banned from entering back. That is why it is best not to overstay.

If you overstay, you will be charged a penalty of around $25 per day. This range varies but usually tops off at this price. If you overstay for a long period of time, you'll be taken to the court and a penalty decision can be ruled.

Where to Get Your Visa

The official authority that handles visitor matters is the DNRD. The department is part of the Ministry of Interior. They control all Dubai Visa requirements including the the procedures to obtain a Visa. Their decisions vary throughout the year, especially when Dubai is hosting an event and is anticipating many visitors. Most Visas are given at the Dubai International Airport upon arrival. I highly suggest visiting a UAE embassy close to you for the most updated Dubai Visa information.

How to Get a Student Visa for USA, UK, Canada, Australia, and South Africa

Student Visa Eligibility Criteria UK

A UK student visa applicant must show that they have been accepted onto a course of study at one of the following.
  • A publicly-funded institution of further or higher education (for example a university)
  • A bonafide private education institution that maintains satisfactory records of enrolment and attendance for students and offers courses which lead to qualifications recognised by the appropriate accreditation bodies.
  • An independent fee-paying school outside the maintained sector.
Applicants for UK student visas must intend to follow either:
  • A recognised full-time degree course.
  • A weekday course at a single institution that involves at least 15 hours of organized daytime study a week.
  • A full-time course of study at an independent fee-paying school.
Students must be able to meet the costs of their course and accommodation and the maintenance of themselves and any dependents without undertaking full-time employment or engaging in business or having recourse to public funds. The applicants should also intend to leave the country at the end of their studies.

Student Visa Eligibility Criteria USA

Before applying for an F-1 student visa, applicants must be accepted into a course of study at a recognized US educational institution and be able to provide documentation indicating their enrolment status.
It will also be necessary to provide other documentation including a valid passport, photograph, and an affidavit of financial support. Applicants must demonstrate adequate English language ability, and crucially, candidates must prove that they intend to return to their home country upon completion of their course and expiry of their US study visas.

This may be assisted through the inclusion of documentation which demonstrates ties to the home country, for example family ties through a marriage certificate, employment obligations through a contract or evidence of prior temporary trips to the USA.
In addition, candidates applying for an F1 visa must be able to demonstrate:
  • Sufficient grasp of the English language to pursue the intended course, unless special language tuition arrangements have been made with the institution or the course of study is an English language programme.
  • Possession of and/or access to sufficient funds to support themselves throughout the course.
  • Documentation of acceptance as a student from a recognized US educational institution.
F-1 visas are normally granted for the duration of the course of study; however, candidates may remain in the country for up to 60 days after the course is completed.

Student Visa Eligibility Criteria Canada

Applications for student visas should be submitted as soon as possible once you have received an acceptance letter from the educational institution.
To submit a Canadian visa application of this kind you will need to satisfy the following criteria:
  • You must be in possession of an acceptance letter from the school or educational institution which you will attend.
  • You must provide evidence that you have sufficient funds to pay school fees and to reside in close proximity to the school.
  • You must be able to demonstrate that it is your intention to return home when your studies are complete.
  • You may be required to pass a medical exam.
  • You will need to obtain a temporary resident visa if required.

Student Visa Eligibility Criteria Australia

Candidates who apply under the student visa category must be in good health and of good character and must not have any debts. Candidates must ensure that they fulfil the requirements of their course, including attendance and must only work in Australia where express permission is granted.

Australian study visas oblige the holder to remain with the sponsoring institution for a minimum of 12 months, or the entire course in circumstances where the course duration is less than 12 months. Applicants must also advise the educational institution of their address within seven days of arrival. Students must be able to support themselves and any dependents financially during their time in Australia and must have a sufficient level of proficiency in the English language to successfully complete their course.

Student Visa Eligibility Criteria South Africa

Studying in South Africa places few restrictions upon those obtaining a South Africa student visa and The Department of Home Affairs generally welcomes foreign students who choose to further their studies by migrating to South Africa.
Student visas require that a foreign national immigrating to South Africa in order to study must not prevent a South African citizen or permanent resident from studying by displacing them.
Candidates must also be able to demonstrate that they have sufficient funds to support themselves throughout their period of study in South Africa including tuition fees and medical insurance.
visa applications for students must include:
  • A letter from the educational institution which will act as Confirmation of Acceptance and which details accommodation arrangements for the candidate.
  • Evidence of the applicants' ability to wholly support themselves financially.
  • A valid return ticket.
  • Medical insurance and a statement from the applicant's doctor.
  • A valid passport with a minimum of thirty days upon completion of study.
  • For applicants over 18 years of age police clearance is required for all previous countries in which they have resided for a year or more.
  • For minors, a letter of consent from the parents will also be necessary.
    In addition, a range of documentation including the applicant's birth certificate and photographs will be required. A Global Visas migration consultant will be happy to discuss the requirements with you in detail.
  • South Africa study visas are granted for a one-year period and can be extended as necessary in order to complete the relevant course. Much like working permits, permits to study are valid only for the original course for which they were obtained. Any change of institution or course will require a new permit.

A Complete Guide to get UK Visas

Here's a straightforward guide to obtaining your UK visa. Basically, you can apply for a UK visa in two ways: either do it yourself or ask for expert help.

Our best advice: At least four months prior to the expected departure, find a UK immigration lawyer you can trust and request a consultation. Some visas may take up to 3 months and the process is so complex that you risk being denied entry clearance and losing money.


Most people have difficulties when applying and the forms are filled with "trick" questions. If you don't know how to apply properly, ask for help; but ask a specialist. Don't rely on your friends' experience and (usually wrong) advice.


During consultation, explain your circumstances to your lawyer. Hide nothing. Better clarify now than regret later. Tell him or her when you intend to travel to the UK and how long you expect to stay. The lawyer will suggest the best strategy according to the information you provided.


Ask your lawyer for a To-Do list for the next steps.


If you still want to do it all by yourself:


1. Get a passport


2. Get 2 photographs, 2x2 inches (5 by 5 cm), similar to the ones used for the passport.


3. Make an effort to understand the different visa categories available.


4. Go to the official British Government website at www.visa4uk.fco.gov.uk to find out if your country accepts online applications. Look for the supported countries page.


5. Complete the official application offered there. You need an e-mail address to complete the applications at visa4uk. Make sure you have the following information before you start filling out the online application:

• passport
• itinerary (when you intend to enter AND leave the UK)
• postal address of the hotel/house/school where you'll be staying in the UK.

6. Forms are in English only. If you can't understand something, save the application and return later with someone fluent in English. The official site will keep your records for seven days.


7. If you don't have all the information available, save the form and come back later that week.


8. Print the completed form. You must sign the printed form. Don't make the mistake of believing that the online application is all you need.


9. Pay the fee and make an appointment for the biometric data procedure.


10. Pass the Biometric scan at the Application Support Centre in your area. The inkless fingerprints scan takes a couple of minutes. For more information, find the "Thumbs Up for Biometrics!" video at YouTube.


Also, depending on the category you are applying for, you will need:

• Documents showing your financial ability to support yourself
• Employment letter
• Hotel reservations
• UK University/School admittance documentation
• Other supporting documentation

Once again, we strongly advise you against applying for a visa without expert assistance. At the end, it will cost you more. Remember the old proverb:


"He who is his own lawyer has a fool for a client".
