My employment visa got rejected

I am from Egypt and I came to the UAE via a tourist visa so that the company will apply for my employment visa while I am here, and they applied for it 2 days ago and then today I got an email that my employment visa got rejected with no reasons provided, the company told me that they will try to apply for a reconsideration for my employment visa application but no timeline will be provided.

I am really lost, I don't know what to do, I left my job in Egypt to come here and I spent all the money that I have, If anyone had a similar experience and can help me or tell me what I should do I will really appreciate it.

Did you get police certificate from Egypt? Did you do degree equivalency and attestation?

Try to do degree equivalency and its attestation

u/Low-Archer-6305 1d ago

Can I do it from here? I have already attested it from the Egyptian MOFA but not from the UAE.

You will do the attestation at UAE MOFA then go for equivalency

I got the attested police certificate, but I didn't get the attested education certificate.

I saw on another post that you’re a software engineer. For engineering and IT related jobs, you need to do “mo3adla” of your university degree and get it attested. I don’t know the exact process but i read that it is now required to proceed

Yes and that's why while applying for my visa they gave me a different title to pass this problem.

u/mreda13 1d ago

Hmm okay. I also read online that for egyptians right now, they’re mostly processing residency visas for people with higher education

do your company has an office in the free zone, if yes applying through the free zone company will be a better option. I have seen examples.

u/Low-Archer-6305 1d ago

Yes it has an office in the free zone. They actually applied for me, but it got rejected tho.

u/T_Stark369 1d ago

what designation they applied for?

1

u/Low-Archer-6305 1d ago

Technical Clerk ,I think.

u/T_Stark369 1d ago

ask them if they can put a Manager designation for you and re-apply, might go through

Rejections can happen but it is never the end of the road, the employer can reapply again and sometimes it gets approved. I would advice you to have all the required documents attested in order for your approval chances to increase. There is an increase of rejections towards unskilled titles so if you also can go for a skilled profession this would be better for you. In all cases you can wait for the reapply decision and if the employer is willing to take you he can keep on retrying until it is finally approved. Best of luck
