Dubai residence visa application rejected? This is what you should do

You may visit the GDRFA office in Dubai in person, to enquire the reason for rejection of the visa application.

My husband's application for a Dubai residence visa, under my sponsorship, has been rejected three weeks after submission with no specific reason being given. I was informed during the waiting time that the application was under the scrutiny of the humanitarian committee. When we enquired at the Amer Centre, the official speculated that it might be because of my profession. A colleague with the same designation as mine is sponsoring her husband. What could be the reason for rejecting my application?

Since you have not provided any information regarding your profession, remuneration and your designation mentioned in your visa, you may visit the GDRFA office in Dubai in person, to enquire the reason for rejection of the visa application and thereafter proceed in accordance with the advice of the GDRFA in Dubai.
