These days anyone who come to Dubai<\/strong> on tourist visa should exit from Dubai and enter again to get the work visa, so the easiest way is to fly to the nearest country, there are many possible countries to fly such as Oman<\/strong>, Qatar<\/strong> or any nearest countries. To fly to any country you must get a visa unless you cannot travel there. But Kish you do not need a visa since it\u2019s a freezone Island, you do not need a visa to fly to Kish Island. You only need up and down ticket and your passport.<\/p>\n

      When we book the ticket the ticketing office do not give us any information about what will happen in Kish, unless we ask them many times, some they charge extra amount for the hotel and other facilities, for me they charged 750AED<\/strong> saying it is for the hotel, but the truth is you only have to pay for the ticket do not pay for anything else.<\/p>\n

      According to my knowledge, the Kish airline has few affiliated hotels (lodge), you will have to stay there they are especially for the visitors who travel Kish for visa changing<\/strong>. If they say Hotel it means it\u2019s a Camp or lodge, each room has around 5 \u2013 6 beds, everything is shared, you are responsible for your things and you will find many nationalities in groups, so you can join them when you go there, as a Sri Lankan I was with a nice group of Sri Lankan, they treated me like their own blood. And every one helps each other.<\/p>\n

      Do\u2019s and Don\u2019ts when you are in Kish<\/h2>\n

      From Dubai to Kish Island it will take around 40min, the flight is not comfortable but they provide a good service, they give you a box in it you will find a piece of cake, a drink packet (mango) and salted peanuts. When you arrive you will find a big signage which says \u201cWELCOME TO BEAUTIFUL KISH ISLAND\u201d and mostly all of them laughs, still I laugh when I think if my days in Kish because we are not in the beautiful part of the island we wore in an isolated place. When you arrive to Kish you should follow some important instructions and there are few things you must know before you fly there.<\/p>\n
