Hi, I am travelling from Dubai to Manila with a layover of almost 6 hours. Do I need to buy a transit visa even I will NOT go out of airport? Thanks

William, it is not a “transit visa” which is something completely different. “Transit without visa” and “temporary entry permit” are two separate things. Last time you were denied the entry permit, not the transit without visa. This is very common on short connections, and there are multiple posts here about that. For a 5 or 6 hour connection you are only eligible for 24 hours TWOV, never 72.
