Why is OK to Board Important?
The OK to Board (OTB) process is an essential visa verification step required for travelers flying to the UAE and other countries. It was introduced to address the growing issue of fraudulent visas and ensure the safety and security of passengers, airlines, and authorities. Without an approved OK to Board status, passengers—even with a valid visa—will not be allowed to board their flight.
At Hamid Travels, we help streamline this critical process, ensuring your documentation is verified and compliant with airline and immigration requirements.
Understanding OK to Board
OK to Board is a mandatory pre-boarding confirmation process where airlines verify that your visa and other travel documents are valid. This additional security measure emphasizes the importance of submitting accurate paperwork and adhering to travel regulations to avoid unnecessary delays.
