The news will spin whatever narrative they want 😆

Especially in the West… it’s all drama and panic.

My family in Germany was stressing over it just from watching TV.

But honestly… who are you gonna trust more ..headlines or people actually living there? 😉

No need, my dear 😉 I don’t need platforms when I can just go outside and experience reality myself!

Flights have been reduced, but things are gradually getting back to normal. I just got back from Phuket a week ago and I’m flying there again in 5 days. I have friends at both Emirates and Flydubai ,they’re not flying as much, but operations are still running. My mom also just flew back to Barcelona. So it really depends on the airline and the destination. Now there might be delays because of the heavy rain.. but since I came here I only heard 1 interception and that was like 6-7 days ago😉

Confidently wrong is still wrong. ‘Ain’t’ is informal English, not nonexistent. I’m fluent in 8 languages ..I don’t need corrections from someone who clearly isn’t even right in one. Have a good evening!

It might depend on the type of application - soft power or workation. Friends who applied from Dubai had to provide additional documents. I'm not familiar with Abu Dhabi's process. I wanted to apply from UAE but decided on Hanoi in the end.

@Robert ******

everything is normal over here! If you don’t have better things to say, just scroll! This person asked a normal question..

@Mark *******

such a stupid comment.. you ain’t paying tax in Thailand either on your DTV visa!! Why don’t you go back home instead of pretending you are just a tourist?

@Jane **********

I am in Dubai right now and it is very normal here! Like the other person said .. get of the news .. can’t really compare UAE and Lebanon right now either.. Lebanon’s situation is way worse!

I was thinking to apply aswell from the UAE but I heard how strict it is.

Decided to go in on a tourist visa and then take a trip to Hanoi instead to do my DTV

I hope you manage to do it from Dubai!
