Getting to Dubai
Dubai is the most accessible city in the UAE, with Dubai International Airport (DXB) connecting flights from almost anywhere in the world due to its status as a major aviation hub. From the airport to the city you can choose between various taxi services operating 24/7 or the efficient Dubai Metro for a fast and cost-effective journey into the heart of the city.
Visas
ISUOG strongly advises that attendees only register for the World Congress once they are confident that they can legally enter the UAE, or will be able to obtain a visa in time to do so. Refunds will not be provided to those who have not allowed enough time to have their visa approved, or have their visa rejected.
PLEASE NOTE: It is the attendee’s own responsibility to check and fulfil any visa requirements and arrange personal travel insurance wanted/needed for entry into the UAE (and for any other countries that attendees stop at on the way to Dubai).
Before planning your travel to the UAE, please make sure you meet the entrance criteria for the UAE by checking your visa requirements. While certain nations may be eligible for visa-free admission or visas upon arrival, others may may need a prearranged visa.
