A visit visa is rejected multiple times. What to do?
Hi,
I traveled to Dubai for a job hunt on 02/12/2021 on a visit for 3 months then I got an extension visa (inside the country) from Abu Dhabi for the next 3 months but I did not exit from Dubai and re-enter as I do not need to exit if I have an inside country visa.
All the process was done before the first visa expiry so there were no fines but when I was traveling back from Dubai airport, the immigration officer said that I OVERSTAYED and I have to pay a fine.
When I showed him both of my visas then he again checked the system and allowed me to take my flight and I came back to Pakistan.
Now I have applied 2 times for a 1-month visit visa in the last 15 days and both of them were rejected (from Sharjah and Abu Dhabi). I have talked to some travel professionals and they have said that immigration must have banned you to travel to UAE currently that's why it is getting rejected.
How can I confirm my ban status if any?
Should I try 3rd time for a visa but this time it would be from Dubai?
Please guide!
Dear questioner,
The reasons for rejection can be:
- A forged or incorrect travel document has been submitted.
- The purpose of the planned residence has not been proven and its conditions have not been met.
- The necessary documents according to the information sheet were not provided in full or were insufficient.
- Under certain conditions, the content of the documents was not enough to dispel doubts.
- The purpose of your stay was not clear from the documents submitted.
