Q: I am going to fly from finland to philippines. I have 2 stops which is germany and abu dhabi then destination to philippines. I am wondering if i need to have a visa to take a flight from abu dhabi to manila,philippines . I have a philippine passport but a resident in finland.
A: As long as you do not leave the transit area, you do not need a visa. As a Philippine passport holder your finnish residence will only have an effect in Germany. In the UAE you need a transit visa in case you want to leave the transit area. Transit visas (96 hrs) can be applied for at Airlines operating in the UAE. Take care and have a safe flight.
