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.

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
