Dear Questioner,

Is this your first visa to the UAE? Are you inside or outside the country?

In case you are outside the country, there are so many reasons of rejection as mistakes in Visa Application form; handwritten or invalid passport; documents submitted are not clear or blurred; you applied previously for a visa but you did not visit the country and so many others.

Nobody can tell you exactly how long the process will take - depends from one authority to the other, from one Free Zone to the another.

In case you get another rejection and you are located outside the UAE but you were previously in the UAE, I suggest you to hire a lawyer to check your criminal records in the UAE.

In case I can be of assistance, please contact me at rg@elnaggarlegal.com

Best regards,

It is my first visa to the UAE. I am outside the country (Currently in Pakistan). The passport is valid and I have never applied for a visa before.

I got a job offer from an Abu Dhabi based company. The employer’s quota approval is approved.

I received the MOL contract I signed it as a second party and sent back the scanned copy.

Now, the work permit is rejected from Abu Dhabi, and my employer is saying that now the other attempt is from Dubai. That may take some time.

Now, what's is the next step? When will my work permit be approved?

Waiting for your reply.

Dear Questioner,

Your company PRO should give you a clear reason for visa rejection.

In case the rejection is for security reason, I would suggest you apply for a clearance certificate in your home country and attach it to the new visa application.
