Home » Reader question » Reader question: Can I leave the airport during a layover?
Dear readers,
When a flight is booked to Bangkok and there is a layover of several hours, in this case a layover of 12 hours with the airline Etihad.
Are you allowed to leave the airport for a few hours to visit the city?
Regards,
Fernand
That is allowed as long as you stamp in and stamp out. Make sure that you already have or receive the boarding pass for the next flight.
If you have a valid visa for that country. that's no problem
Hello Fernando
Yes, that's possible.
You will probably land in Abu Dhabi with Etihad.
Then you can get a free visa stamp in your travel pass as a Belgian or Dutch citizen, with which you can leave the airport.
Regular, beautiful scheduled buses depart from the car park to both Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
Travel time is about the same, less than an hour.
You can also take a taxi, of course, but it is slightly more expensive.
Good trip!
Frank
Yes. Provided you have a visa for that country.
In Doha with Qatar Airways it was no problem.
https://youtu.be/BjOTcK_SAu0
Yes, that's no problem at all.
Just fill in the visa card (is already handed out on the plane).
If you have a lot of hand luggage, you can leave it in a locker, so you don't have to drag it through the city.
Yes no problem, stamping in and out, no visa needed for the Arab Emirates.
Well, a mess;
Luc; No problem
Merel no problem, but fill in your visa card
Robert; provided you have a visa
Frank; free visa stamp in your passport
Henry; if you have a valid visa.
Gerard; as long as you stamp in and out.
Sounds like the Dutch elections.
Tip: next time please indicate your nationality and which country/airport.
A Dutch or Belgian can leave and re-enter most airports in the world without any hassle, but for a Thai, for example, it will soon be more difficult.
If you have enough time, and the possible visa rules allow it, I don't see why not.
You could also book a flight, where you have, for example, 3 days more time to visit a city, so that you can also enjoy the city in question.
With a fleeting back and forth, you often have more stress than you actually see something of a city.
But if it's only about the fact that you can say at home that you've been there, OK to each his own.
What's the use of all those different answers to Fernand? Anyone who thinks they are right.
A tip for Fernand: Inquire at the embassy of the UAE about the situation and get information there
