In order to apply for any visa or permit, it is necessary to obtain the sponsorship of either a UAE resident (who may be a foreigner) or other legal entities such as companies or hotels. If a hotel or a local sponsor is arranging the visa or permit, the hotel or a local sponsor usually deposits it at the airport for collection by the visitor upon arrival.
