Hi! I would like to ask what other requirements will I need to prepare if traveling to Dubai. I'm currently a student enrolled in an architecture program and will only take a month's vacation in Dubai since we only got a 30-day tourist visa this coming November because it's our academic break. The trip will be sponsored by my mother who works here in the Philippines. Aside from an affidavit of support, certificate of enrollment, and registration form, what other requirements will I need to prepare so I can avoid getting offloaded and pass the Immigration Officer?
Thank You

Thank you for your response, I appreciate it. I just have last few questions. Do I need to prepare my mother's bank statement and ITR because I'll be traveling alone? In what other form can I prove that she can provide for me financially on this trip aside from AOS? Because I only prepared an affidavit of support as of this moment and thinking of other possible documents I should prepare in case I get questioned.
