Has anyone used this service before? It is $25 for the 'standard' meet/greet at the airport and helping you navigate immigration in Dubai. Is it worth it, with the looming visa application changes? Am still struggling to understand what is going on. My sister holds a Philippine passport. She will be in Africa and is flying Emirates. Because she will be connecting via Dubai back to Manila, she thought she'd do a 'city stop' (3d/2nt). She hasn't applied for an entry visa thinking that she can just apply upon arrival at Dubai airport. She's booked her hotel, city tour, and got a roundtrip airline ticket with Emirates. Emirates airlines told her to get a visa in the Philippines before she leaves. But then, I thought they're supposed to sponsor her????

Thanks for any info you can provide.
