Why is OK to Board Important? The UAE introduced the OK to Board (OTB) visa requirement to combat the rising issue of fraudulent visas. This mandatory procedure ensures thorough documentation and visa verification before passengers board their flights. The measure not only enhances security for airlines and immigration authorities but also safeguards travelers from unnecessary hassles.

In recent years, cases of travelers, especially from South Asian countries, carrying fake UAE visas have surged. To address this, the OK to Board system was implemented to verify passenger documentation before departure, ensuring a safe and secure travel process for all parties involved.

Understanding OK to Board: In essence, OK to Board is an essential visa verification process required for specific travelers, and Without OTB approval, passengers are denied boarding—even if they hold a valid visa. This mandatory procedure ensures that all necessary documentation is in place, emphasizing the significance of careful planning and adherence to regulations.  This highlights the importance of meticulous planning and adherence to regulations.
