I guess a one-way ticket would be a bad idea !

Is not usually an issue usually. If they ask you anything, just say you are coming on vacation. You will get a visa on arrival. If anyone should ask you anything further, then say that you are coming to see friends and might be going to another country for an extended vacation but unsure.

Reality is, because you are from one of the special countries that get a visa on arrival, the local in passport control probly will not remove their mic from their ear and continue to talk on their cell phone the entire time, not hardly speaking to you and barely will look up.

Isn't it generally cheaper to book a return? It's more likely to be picked up on check-in than at immigration here.

Rarely a problem at Immigration. But return flights from Dubai tend to be alot more expensive than into Dubai (especially Emirates). If you are planning to pop home in the next year for a visit it may be cheaper to buy a return now - you can always change the date.

Why would you want to have a one-way ticket, when return tickets always save your some money!

if ur going to come on a visit visa, the airport at ur home country will first check for ur visa and return ticket, if u get visa on arrival, they might not check
dubai does not check to see if u have a return ticket
they only check ur visa

I dont think u can renew ur 30 day visa
just get a 2 way ticket, it will save u a lot of hassels, and if u do decide to come on a 1 way ticket, please share the experience so we can also benefit

Yes she can, she can extend it for another 30 days at DRND or do a visa run to Hatta for a new 30 day visa.
