If I'm going to Dubai on my own. Share your experience on how and where to apply for a visa (where the embassy is located). How much time and cost, what documents are needed? Are there any difficulties?
Do I need to have an air ticket and hotel reservation to apply for a visa?

It is easier, cheaper and faster to contact a Tour Operator. But not a travel agency, but a tour operator. A visa is prepared in 3-4 days, but sometimes it is done in a couple of days, it all depends on the TO and their relations with the embassy.

If you are flying on a direct flight - UIA from Boryspil or FlyDubai from Zhulyan, then this is the most normal option - they will issue a visa themselves. You buy a ticket, on their websites they have contacts for issuing visas, write there and send the docks, they issue an invoice ($ 110), pay and in 5-7 days the visa is ready.
In the visa application form, you must specify the address of residence in the UAE, so the hotel reservation or the address of the person where you will live should be. You don't need to show them your hotel reservation.
Or another option - book a hotel that provides visa support, they themselves make a visa for you. But the price will be about the same.

Yes, one more thing - there is no embassy in Ukraine, everything is through the embassy in Moscow. A visa from the Tour Operator costs $ 80 if you buy a tour from them, if without a tour, the cost will be higher, most likely again the same $ 110.

we went on February 14th to emirates grand apartmens, dubai. they also thought it would be smart to book tickets, a hotel and a visa themselves. EXPENSIVE. tickets are more expensive than the whole tour with visas. agents will support me. for two paid $ 600, visa 75 per person. maybe you don't need a hotel. you can not live in a hotel. Breakfast has never been a problem. I am calmed by an organized meeting from the airport and delivery to the hotel, they took it back from the hotel and brought it to the airport. without fuss and nerves. and without questions at customs .... why, where and how much money in cash and on the card

But still, if you make a visa yourself through the embassy - how difficult is it and how often do they refuse?
(It’s not an option for me to simply contact a tour operator, since I live in Egypt. I would like to go through the embassy in Cairo. Just to know how realistic it is to do it myself, so as not to waste time, effort and money).

It’s easier and cheaper to buy a ready-made tour at a travel agency (the operator does not work directly with individuals, don’t mislead), a package tour will be cheaper than booking everything separately, and the consulate can now delay a visa. To apply for a visa, you must provide: air ticket, hotel reservation, insurance, a copy of 1 page of the RFP, a photo, a completed application form.

Be careful with the choice of airline. In my opinion, Fly Dubai does not feed on board and they don’t even give water, everything is for a fee, shameful ones.

Kitten7, I don’t know about you in Russia, but we don’t have much choice with whom to fly with - it’s either UIA or Fly Dubai. They don’t feed at UIA, and they don’t have free in Fly Dubai either, but unlike UIA in Fly you can buy food and very good.

do not quarrel. All airlines provide water free of charge, but only in a paper cup. if you ask for 4 glasses to drink, they won't refuse, it's checked :).
bottled water is paid, food is paid, alcohol is paid. tea €2, hot dog sandwich €3. this is the bare minimum.
take fruits, sandwiches, eggs, cucumbers with you on board. who loves what. two bottles of water passed without question back and forth. no one posted anything at Dubai airport. Keep an empty water bottle handy just in case. you can dial at the airport and drink. well, everyone knows himself and his appetite, you can hold out for half a day

lana_181, the operator does not work with tourists, but any agency can be called an "OPERATOR", having issued only an operator license, and sell any tours, any operators, but the price is absolutely the same if this agency does not dampen!

The cost of issuing a single entry visa is $115.* in MAU. The travel agency draws up for 75. What is the benefit, what will you spend two days of working time?
