My spouse's visa was rejected due to an administrative issue. What does that mean?

Hi,

I applied for my spouse's visa and entry permit, but it was rejected due to an administrative issue.

I don’t know what that means. Can anyone explain what an administrative issue is?

We kindly request that you issue a Power of Attorney (POA) in our favor so that we can check with Immigration and CID on your behalf.

This will allow us to verify whether there are any issues registered under your name, or if there is a case of mistaken identity involving someone with a similar appearance or name on the blacklist.

Should you require assistance in preparing the POA or if you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at [-----------] or via email at [-----------].

Best regards,

Nada Elmawi

No one can provide you with the reason unless legal procedures are taken to investigate your status and uncover the cause of the administrative rejection.

In the UAE, a spouse visa (entry permit) rejection due to an "administrative issue" typically refers to non-criminal, internal matters such as missing or incorrectly attested documents, data mismatches, outdated sponsor records, visa quota limitations, or technical errors in the immigration system.

It may also relate to past visa violations or restrictions based on the sponsor’s profession or salary. To resolve the issue, it is advisable to visit the relevant immigration office (GDRFA or ICP).

For legal support, contact us.

Thank You!

Dear questioner,

It can be due to reasons such as fraud, a pending case file, or even small fraudulent transactions, which may lead to the administrative rejection of visa approval. The exact reason is usually not disclosed.
