Can I renew my tourist visa if there is a pending application for an employment visa?

If your tourist visa expires before your employment visa is finalized, It is better to exit the UAE and re-enter on a new visit visa to avoid overstaying and incurring fines.

There may be several possibilities.

The authorities might consider the request based on several factors.

You may apply the request and the approval for renewal will be based on the status of your employment visa.

In some cases, if you can provide strong evidence justifying the need for a tourist visa extension while your employment visa is being processed (e.g., waiting for medical test results, and security clearance), you might have a chance of successful renewal.
