‘OK to Board’ (OTB) is a mandatory visa verification process required by airlines for travelers heading to Dubai, especially from regions like South Asia where fake visas have become a concern. To avoid deportation and legal issues, your visa needs to be verified and cleared by the airline before you can board your flight.
Once your Dubai visa is issued, send a copy along with your flight ticket to the airline. They will verify the visa and update the OTB status in your PNR, confirming that your visa is valid. This allows you to board the flight without any issues. Our team handles this process efficiently and at minimal cost to ensure a hassle-free journey.

We submit your UAE visa to the airline, they verify it, and update the OTB status—usually 3 days before your flight. Once confirmed, you’re ready to board.
