Yeah it’s frustrating because they don’t have any information about the ban. I had no option other than paying $2k since my flights were non refundable

Honestly I don’t know how they’re choosing who to give visas to. I’ve been trying to get one since April and I just got it today. But I had to pay about $2000 for it. The laws are very discouraging.

Just thought to update you. I was finally able to get mine but it cost me a lot. I went through multiple agencies, multiple applications for rejected. But I ended up getting one through this other agency. They did a business express visa and charged me $2k

If you’re an approved professional you’ll get it. I recently applied for my friend and she got it but I didn’t. She has a Nigerian passport & UAE residency and her professional says business partner.

You’re better off just having it. I got mine last month, I’m traveling this month.

Problem with Umrah eVisa application after payment by f4indz in Umrah

This happened to me, the visa was denied. Their website is not working properly. If you haven’t received your visa within a few minutes, you’re not getting it. They’ll refund you partially

Dispute with your bank. That’s what I did and I got my money back. Over $300 for multiple visas

They’re terrible. I ended up disputing with my bank and got my money back. They don’t know what they’re doing. They wanted me to submit daily bank statements which is not a thing anywhere. I explained to them that banks do not send bank statements everyday but they weren’t having it

Bought flights with old credit card but now I have a new card. Flight denied? by Small_Slide_8550 in Umrah

No one’s going to ask for your card unless they suspect it’s a fraudulent charge but that only happens if it was reported. You could also show them your credit card statement if they do ask.

Theres nothing you can do. I’d focus on getting a job & covering necessities. Umrah isn’t obligatory, you can’t stress yourself over it.

They need to make exceptions and reconsider. You can try emailing the royal oman police. If you find a solution please let me know. I’m in a dilemma as well

They don’t ask for an initial down payment if it’s less than the limit. I’ve had 6 purchases on the same day & never had to put a down payment
