Do I need a transit visa when flying to Sri Lanka through the UAE

Do I need a transit visa when flying to Sri Lanka through the UAE? When can I apply for a visa if I leave on April 1?

Responds Alexey Novikov, My Lanka company

The UAE does not need a visa if you do not leave the transit zone and fly this airline Visa to Sri Lanka can be paid 6 months before arrival.

Responds Tatiana Upkhanova, World of Transactions

Transit to the UAE for less than 24 hours - transit visa does not make sense. Visa for Sri Lanka is issued upon arrival at the airport. Requirements for documents: the validity of a foreign passport must be at least 6 months and the availability of a return air ticket.
