| Subject: Statist extortion: Canadians to pay up to $1000 to enter UAE after airlines spat Sat Jan 01, 2011 10:08 pm | |
| The United Arab Emirates will require Canadian visitors to buy a visa for the first time to enter the country, paying as much as $C1000 ($A1000) when applying from Jan. 2.
The move is the latest in a dispute over landing rights between the two countries.
Canadians must apply for a visa 15 days prior to departure, reversing the current regulation allowing them to enter the oil- rich country without a prior visa and at no cost. Advertisement: Story continues below
A short-term 30-day visa will cost $C250 and a three-month visa will cost $C500, the UAE Embassy in Ottawa said on its website. A multiple-entry visa will cost $C1000 and is valid for six months for a maximum stay of 14-days per visit.
