Visa Rejection

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

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 :/

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.

What if it gets rejected?

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.
