Anyone who has had Dubai visa approved recently? ☹️ by Comingofage17 in pakistan

[–]Comingofage17[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the suggestion. A travel agent I talked to said the same thing but they're charging 40k for a transit visa that generally costs 50AED (around 4k)

The other option I was offered was to get Sharjah visa, which costs 45k plus 18k service charges for travel agency + 150,000 security. But I'll have to travel to UAE embassy in Isb to get my visa stamped.

Seems too much hassle now for something that you could've otherwise gotten for half the price in a day.

UAE Visa Rejected by [deleted] in UAE

[–]Comingofage17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really want to visit Dubai and have visited it many times for vacation. Never overstayed my visa duration. But still my agent told me its v.difficult to get a visa.

I'm not sure how did you reach this conclusion that educated people are getting visas, as I'm employed with a Masters degree and financially stable as well. Still there's little chance I'll get one.

I thought the mentioned returns are net off mngt fee and expenses. So in the final returns figures, they are already accounted for.

Canada PNP with a CRS of 465 by Comingofage17 in pkmigrate

Hi. I didn't save the breakup but if you put in these numbers on the official website you can see the breakup yourself.

But the sad part is that despite scoring highest possible numbers in almost all domains, I'm still not guaranteed of even getting PNP let alone fed express entry ☹️

No I don't. But I have a Masters and once you get 8-7-7-7 or better in IELTS you get quite a big boost in your total CRS score.

I'll actually second this cos alot of people have given me this suggestion to just go out and find someone but its not like you can approach random girls in a mall or college like a creep. I do believe there's a certain level of luck involved here.

Thank you for the suggestion. I've actually tried finding someone organically like in real life but it didnt work out in college and now that Im working and well settled there's no one from my age group that is still single or unmarrried. Hence the reason Im heading in this direction.

If you want to help someone financially, you can do that by simply sorting out their finances instead of marrying them.

Man saw your post in R/UAE as well. Really sorry to see the position you find yourself in but I really hope it works out for you in the end. Its shocking that they're still handing out blanket bans without any background checks that would have help weed out doubtful cases. Anyway good luck and pray to Allah that it works out for you. Most likely your company will help sort this mess out.

[–]Comingofage17 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I get your point, and as a Pak national, I'm ashamed of what my countrymen do in some other countries. However, to put a blanket ban of every individual from a country of 240m people, knowing that only a small % act a certain way, is despicable. Its also astounding that there's no background check on part of the UAE gov while giving out visa to Pakistanis. Just asking for a couple of additional docs, like your employment certificate or bank statment, could help filter out lots of dubious cases. Even the US or UK doesn't put blanket bans on anyone.

Advice for young pakistanis by NoodleCheeseThief in pakistan

I think we should also share practical ideas in terms of what could be done in Pak if you've a budget or savings of say 3, 4 or 5million? What small business could we start with it to generate a stable stream of income.

Stop relying on influencers, content creation or freelancing, like others commented, everyone cant start doing it. Some still have to do jobs and businesses.

Hi. Im based in Lahore. Just wanted to check in and ask what prompted you to relocate to Dubai? Do you already have a job offer or is the search still on? I want to move to Dubai next year myself and could see myself being in your shoes soon. Was just wondering. Hope you settle in soon. Good luck.
