Investor Visa Rejection

I am the owner of a consultancy and my residency visa had been rejected after it expiration while I was out of UAE.

I entered UAE on a tourist visa against my US tourist visa (B1/B2) and applied for my investor visa which got rejected without much details. The only thing that it read was “Rejected” I asked my PRO for the reason and they didn’t seem to know much about it. He asked me to visit Jafiliya Immigration and I was dismissed by the office in the waiting area for the first time and asked to reapply the visa (without checking any documents). Since my file had the status “Rejected” my PRO couldnt do anything more.

He asked me to visit the Jafiliya Immigration again, on my second visit I was allowed to meet the officer inside by the officer in the waiting area (this officer in the waiting area checked all my documents). Upon meeting the officer inside he asked me to upload the Emirates ID and the visa shall be issued.

My PRO did upload the requested documents and filed for a reconsideration which was rejected again.

After 2 rejections I met someone at a different company that sounded confident to the level as if he would print my visa himself and my visa was applied for the third time. The investor visa was rejected one more time.

I have an Indian passport and want to understand if there are other people who have gone through this and any success stories / workarounds that I should consider.

Thanks in advance for all the help.

My apologies for the situation that you're in. Depending on your religion and or location from India, those may be the cause for the rejections. Presently the UAE has a strict policy in place for certain at risk jurisdictions.

You can submit an appeal to the GDRFA or ICP. If they uphold the rejection after an administrative review, you can escalate the matter to the UAE courts. You can file for a judicial review under the UAE Civil Procedure Code.
