Visit visa rejected due to valid UAE resident permit. What's the next step?
Hi,
I applied for a UAE visit visa two weeks ago along with my 12-year-old son, and it was rejected with the reason stating that we have a valid resident permit still in the UAE.
However, we exited the country in April 2018, and our resident visa was valid until August 2018, which wasn't canceled from our side, assuming it would be automatically canceled after six months of not entering the UAE.
Kindly advise on this matter as we would like to travel to the UAE for a visit soon.
Thank you!
Dear Client,
Thanks for your question! I hope you are doing well. I will assist you in this matter.
If your residency is still active, you will need to submit a cancellation request. This can often be done through the GDRFA or through the services of a typing center.
You may need to provide proof of your exit from the UAE, such as exit stamps in your passport.
For any further legal assistance, you can contact me via email or WhatsApp. We have an extensive team of knowledgeable and experienced lawyers to provide the legal assistance you need.
We will be happy to help you.
Thanks and Regards,

Dear Our Valuable Customer,
We can undertake a complete inspection of all UAE systems for you to check if you have a case or not and recommend the best approach to resolve it.
The service price is AED 1000. If you are interested, please send us a copy of your passport on WhatsApp.

Dear Questioner,
First, we have to understand the reason for the visa rejection. It could be traced out by a travel ban check.
If there is any issue regarding your previous visa, we have to clear it from the system.
Share your WhatsApp number.
We will discuss everything in detail.
Dear Questioner,
The visa cancellation process is not an automatic process, therefore once you decide to leave, you have to cancel the visa.
Now you require a PRO of the company or the sponsor of the visa to clear it for you. Fines may apply.
Dear Questioner,
The old visa will not automatically expire when you leave the country. You are required to cancel the old one by clearing fines or issues if any.
To know this, you need to check the status of the visa. Then, you can apply for the new one.
