newer stamps (after 2011, i think) from Dubai do not need translation as Exit, Entry and date is written in english on them.

you can check your stamps to make sure...if words exit, entry and date is in english, then no need.

when i did the translation, the translator did not do the translation for these stamps as it contains all the information in english that is needed...

Guys,

If there is clear Entry/Exit in English with date in English, then no need to translate, even if there are additional other language writing.

my dates were in different language, so they had to be translated.

It varies significantly.

You can check the below Google Sheet, and you could add your details as well for cross checking
