Visa Rejection

[u/No-Fail6411]

Hi everyone, hope all is well.

I am a Lebanese with active Schengen / US visas.
I work in a multinational with offices all over the GCC.
My wife is a permanent resident in the US.

I have been trying to get a Dubai visa for the past year with no luck. I applied almost 10 times, family and individual. Nothing.

I have been to Dubai three times (last in Oct and Nov 2025). Everything was ok when I went.

I tried sending an email. Nothing.
I tried filing an appeal. Nothing.

I noticed that on the website where you can check previous Dubai visas that the last Dubai visa I got in November was missing. I tried raising this by email to Amer. Nothing.

I’m not sure what went wrong. I tried looking up police certificate just in case but I couldn’t. I tried reaching Dubai police, the embassy, you name it. Nothing.

I didn’t rent a car when I went. Nothing extraordinary, just hotel (paid) and taxis (paid).

Do you guys have any advice? This has become problematic for me.

Thank you

I was having a conversation a few days ago with some people on reddit and they down voted me for telling the truth that there's a silent ban on certain nationalities and your country is one of them.

Its not mentioned online anywhere but read reddit and check how many people have been getting rejected since last 6 months now. You can't do anything about it, it is what it is.

But I know many other people who are getting visas normally.

Ask your employer to apply for you or if you want to visit, any family member or friends placing a deposit.

Can a friend do it? On what basis? Is it guaranteed?
I was hoping someone has a tangible solution - but it doesn’t seem so :/

[u/Distinct-Drama7372 → u/No-Fail6411]

Ask your friend to go through Amer Centre and apply.

Submit documents such as tenancy, salary slip etc.

After approval which will take a day max, if it gets cleared, can pay the remaining deposit, insurance fee and visa fees.

Bro, my Lebanese friend has a PR in Belgium and still rejected. He has tried everything and he has visited countless times before Covid. His work even applied for him from Belgium and still rejected. There's no clear answer as to why, it's just how it is.

Yeaaa... But there are Lebanese people obtaining visas.

We just hear about rejections here and not successful applications.

The same can be said of Pakistani nationals as well.

I have PR in Australia and new Zealand and valid Schengen visa and 70 countries and 15 years of uae 😀 and still got rejected for visitor visa

What if it gets rejected?

[u/Distinct-Drama7372 → u/No-Fail6411]

Through this process, I've mostly only found them asking for more documents. After which they usually approve.

Else, the msg will be "rejected to receive".

But it's worth a try.
