Quick answer: A cross-country visa package lets Filipino travelers exit the Philippines through a third country — Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand or Hong Kong — for a 2–3 night stopover, then fly on to Dubai with a 30, 60 or 90-day UAE tourist visa already approved. No Affidavit of Support (AOS) is required. Each route includes both flights, the stopover hotel, visa processing and a return ticket, starting from AED 3,499.
Who This Is For
Built for Filipinos who don't have a UAE sponsor's Affidavit of Support
If you're heading to Dubai without a signed AOSG from a UAE resident, direct flights from the Philippines can involve additional immigration checks for some travelers. Exiting through a trusted third country first — then flying on to Dubai — is a legitimate, commonly used alternative for genuine tourism and family-visit travel, and it's the exact route every package on this page is built around.
- Tourists and family members visiting UAE-based relatives or friends
- Tourists who'd rather avoid the AOSG paperwork entirely
- Travelers who want one agency to arrange the exit flight, stopover, Dubai visa and return ticket together
- Anyone comparing exit routes before deciding which one fits their budget and travel dates

No AOS headache at all. The team explained everything clearly and the Kuala Lumpur stopover hotel was booked exactly as promised.

Common Questions
Frequently asked questions
1. What is a cross-country visa package?
It is a travel solution that routes you through a third country before entering Dubai, eliminating the need for an Affidavit of Support (AOS).
2. Who can apply for this package?
Filipino tourists and families who want to visit Dubai on a 30, 60 or 90-day tourist visa can apply. This is a tourist visa package only and is not a route to overseas employment.
3. Do I need to arrange my own hotel and transfers?
No, hotel accommodation in your chosen transit country is already included in the Kabayan Package.
4. Can I choose the airline for my trip?
Yes. You may choose from popular airlines like Cebu Pacific, Philippine Airlines, Emirates, or Cathay Pacific, subject to seat availability.
5. How long can I stay in the UAE with this package?

6. Do I need a sponsor in Dubai?
No affidavit of support or sponsor is required when you use the cross-country exit route.
7. Is the package suitable for jobseekers?
This is a tourist visa package intended for genuine tourism and family visits. A tourist visa does not permit employment, and Filipinos seeking overseas work should apply through a POEA/DMW-licensed recruitment agency, which is required under Philippine law.
8. Do I need an Affidavit of Support (AOS) to enter Dubai with this package?
No. This route does not require a UAE sponsor's Affidavit of Support, since it is a standard requirement only for certain direct-entry cases from the Philippines.
9. How long is the processing time for the UAE tourist visa?
Visa processing usually takes 2–4 working days, but we recommend booking early to avoid last-minute delays.
10. What if my visa gets rejected?
In case of rejection, we will guide you on reapplying with stronger supporting documents. Visa fees are usually non-refundable as per UAE immigration rules.
11. Is this package safe and legal?
Absolutely. Gulliver Travels works with trusted partners, and the process follows all legal travel and immigration guidelines.
12. Can I extend my UAE tourist visa once I'm in Dubai?
Yes, most tourist visas can be extended for another 30 or 60 days without leaving the country. Extension fees will apply.
13. Do I need a return ticket to the Philippines?
No separate purchase is needed — a return ticket to the Philippines is included for immigration purposes.
14. Is travel insurance included in the package?
Travel insurance is not automatically included, but it can be added on request for extra protection.
15. Can this package be arranged for Abu Dhabi instead of Dubai?
Yes. The visa is valid for both Dubai and Abu Dhabi, and flights can be arranged accordingly.
16. Which third countries can I choose as my exit point?
We offer Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Hong Kong as dedicated exit routes. These are tested, immigration-friendly options trusted by many Filipino travelers.
17. How many days will I stay in the third country?
Usually 2–3 nights. This short stay helps you clear immigration smoothly before continuing your flight to Dubai.
18. Do I need a visa for the third country?
Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Hong Kong all typically offer visa-free entry for Filipino passport holders on short tourist stays, making transit straightforward. We reconfirm current rules before booking.
19. Can I work in Dubai with this visa?
No. A UAE tourist visa does not permit employment of any kind. Working while on a tourist visa is illegal under UAE law. Filipinos seeking overseas employment must go through a POEA/DMW-licensed recruitment agency and obtain a valid UAE work/employment visa before starting any job, in line with Philippine and UAE regulations.
20. What happens if I overstay in Dubai?
Overstaying beyond your visa validity will result in fines and possible bans. We always recommend extending your visa legally before expiry.
21. Can I choose Emirates or Philippine Airlines instead of budget airlines?
Yes. Our packages are flexible and can be upgraded to premium airlines such as Emirates, Etihad, or Philippine Airlines.
22. How much pocket money should I carry when traveling?
It's recommended to carry at least USD 500–800 (or equivalent) for immigration purposes and personal expenses.
