OREANDA-NEWS. Ukraine International Airlines, jointly with BUDPORT leading handling operator, expands the range of services for its passengers travelling to Dubai: a new customer-friendly Easy Entry service allowing UIA passengers to apply for a single-entry visa to the United Arab Emirates online.

The service is available as of December 16, 2013, to passengers who purchase tickets for UIA-coded flights from/via Kiev to Dubai. Once the ticket has been purchased, visit the UIA official website www.flyuia.com, click the “ Visa to Dubai” button, fill in the single-entry visa application (for a maximum period of stay in the UAE of 30 calendar days), upload a colour photo, a scanned copy of international passport and other documents required, and enter the ticket number.

Passengers can apply for a visa within the period of 5 business days - 12 months prior to departure. Visa applications' consideration takes 3 to 5 business days.

The new Easy Entry online service is available to the citizens of Ukraine, the Russian Federation, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Azerbaijan, Lithuania, Latvia, Belarus, Turkey, Poland, the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania, and Cyprus.

“Historically, UIA aims at making its passengers' trips the most comfortable ones possible, - noted Evgeniya Satska, UIA Corporate Press Secretary. - Thanks to the new service UIA passengers are provided with the opportunity not only to apply for a visa to the UAE online, but also to simplify the whole process significantly. One does not need to find time in the busy business schedule, to make an appointment at the embassy, and to spend precious time waiting in queues - our partner will assume these cares”.

Moreover, within the period of December 16 - 22, 2013, BUDPORT offers UIA passengers to take advantage of a promotion and to issue travel documents to the UAE via Easy Entry service at a discounted price of USD 129.

Thus, visiting the airline's website passengers are provided with an opportunity to form their own travel package to Dubai and, therefore, to make their trips both easy and enjoyable.
