OK TO BOARD

Are you travelling to the UAE (United Arab Emirates), Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, or Cyprus (Any Gulf Country or Middle East) from India? To make a hassle free journey, apply for OK TO BOARD (OTB/OKTB) to insert visa message into your flight booking PNR (Passenger Name Records). The airline conducts this visa verification process in advance to verify your visa and travel documents.

What is OK to Board (OKTB)?

OK TO BOARD (OTB/OKTB) is a process used to verify your visa and travel documents by the airline's special department before opening the check-in counters.

You can say in another way that OK TO BOARD is a visa verification process by the airline.

Once they have checked everything, they add an 'OK TO BOARD' message to your booking PNR.

This message tells the airline that your visa is correct and you are allowed to travel.

It is an important step to make sure all your documents are correct so you can board your flight.

Why is OKTB Required?

To keep everyone safe and avoid issues with fake visas, the Gulf countries and airlines want to double-check that Indian travelers have the right visa and travel documents.
