A new visa-processing service for Etihad Airways passengers travelling to the UAE from South Africa has been launched by the airline in conjunction with TT Services. It allows citizens and residents of the RSA, travelling on Etihad Airways to the UAE, to apply for quick and easy visa processing.

By visiting the website www.ttuaevisas.com, Etihad Airways passengers can now access a number of visa-processing services, including: a dedicated website to provide information, online applications and status checks; a dedicated office for application collection and customer support in Johannesburg; a nationwide courier service to collect visa applications; and other facilities customised to suit the individual needs of each Etihad passenger.

Craig Thomas, Etihad Airways country manager of South Africa, said: “Etihad Airways is committed to offering its guests a simple and convenient travel experience and this includes visa processing. We are confident our passengers travelling from South Africa through Abu Dhabi into the UAE will greatly benefit from the services offered to simplify travel and access when travelling with Etihad Airways.
