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.

- Account closing balance.

- Account maintenance certificate.

- Confirmed air tickets.

- Travel insurance.

- Hotel booking or my brother's residence!

Please guide where I can find the complete document list for my visa application.

Yes, you can reapply, but first, it is preferable to hire a lawyer to inquire about the reason for the rejection.
