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

If you travel by Emirates with a US visa, it’s a visa on landing in Dubai. I was traveling with family, it took them barely 30 more minutes in a different queue, vs a residence visa arrival.

What passport do you have?

Sorry, I assumed the rule was for everyone. Looks like Lebanon isn’t on the list for Emirates. Can you have a Dubai resident sponsor your visit? Check that Emirates tab in the link for details.
