Dubai immigration authority to keep Terminal 3 counters open 24/7 throughout Eid break
GDRFA-Dubai will keep its Terminal 3 immigration counters open 24/7 and maintain extended hours at key service centres during the May 25–29 Eid Al Adha holiday. Round-the-clock digital platforms and a dedicated call centre will also operate, ensuring travellers and employers can process visas and clearances despite the public holiday. The move provides certainty for last-minute business-travel paperwork and supports Dubai’s digital-government goals.
