The Visa Run thread

[RoxiRocks]

I am no longer a visa run virgin. Did it today and here are my tips.
If you go on a Friday then go early. I got a lift from a friend and we left Dubai at 9 and were back by 1pm, with a few stops for snaps. On the way back, I noticed long queues at the first security checkpoint from Dubai. So I guess going early was a good idea.
The fee is 50AED. So definitely worth doing the trip.
If you are going by car then do not break the speed limit as there are cameras dotted most of the way. There are a few extra cameras over the boarder. So, you are warned.
Watch the road humps. You could be going at reasonable speed and not spot the obscure sign - warning you of the hump and before you know it you have a nasty headache from the bump.
Locals will jump the queue at Oman visa office. It is annoying, I know, but what can you do?
Good luck.
