A visit visa is rejected due to an administrative issue. What to do?
Hi,
My visit visa was rejected due to an administrative issue.
I don’t know what is that.
Can anyone explain what is an administrative issue?

Greetings,
Thank you for your query!
There are multiple reasons as to why your visa could have been rejected for entering the UAE:
1. If you held a residence visa previously and left the country without canceling the UAE visa. To get approval, the PRO will have to go to the immigration department and clear your previous residency visa.
2. Hand-written passports will automatically get rejected by UAE Immigration.
3. Visa applicants with previous criminal offenses, fraud, or misconduct committed in the UAE.
4. Previously applied for a tourist visa but did not enter the country. In order to get approval, the PRO of the travel agency or sponsor must go to immigration to clear the previous UAE visa.
5. Applicants who applied for an employment visa via a company (prospective employer) but did not enter the country. To get approval, the PRO of a travel agency or sponsor must go to the UAE immigration and clear the previous employment visa.
6. Visa application with typo errors of name, passport number, and profession code will see a delay in getting approval, or result in rejection of the passport.
7. When photos of the passport copies are not clear or blurred when applied in the online UAE immigration system. The approval might get delayed or rejected.
