World Cup windfall: UAE woos football fans with multi-entry visas
World Cup, officials announced, as it looks to reap an economic windfall from the tournament. The UAE, whose jewel is the tourism-to-finance hub of Dubai, follows neighbouring Saudi Arabia in opening its doors to supporters arriving for the first football World Cup in the Middle East. Fans with the Hayya Card issued to ticket-holders will be eligible for the 90-day renewable visas available for an initial fee of 100 dirhams ($54).
