Q: Can I leave the airport during a layover in Abu Dhabi, and do I need a transit visa?
- Your layover is long enough to allow time for immigration, travel to and from the city, and returning to the airport for your next flight.
- You have a valid transit visa if required. Citizens of certain countries are eligible for a visa-on-arrival or visa-free entry to the UAE. Check the UAE immigration website for the latest information.
- You have your onward boarding pass and ensure your checked luggage is either transferred automatically or collected and rechecked.
