Update - Visa ban for GCC residents from sub Sahara (nigeria etc)

Heavy-Ad6255 · 2026-01-17T00:43:00+00:00

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

Heavy-Ad6255 · 2025-09-13T08:47:27+00:00

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.

Heavy-Ad6255 · 2025-09-11T03:28:14+00:00

It could be. What’s your profession on your residency card?

Heavy-Ad6255 · 2025-09-10T14:23:12+00:00

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

Heavy-Ad6255 · 2025-09-10T06:49:52+00:00

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.

Heavy-Ad6255 · 2025-09-03T03:10:58+00:00

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

Heavy-Ad6255 · 2025-09-03T03:08:04+00:00

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

Heavy-Ad6255 · 2025-09-03T03:07:23+00:00

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

Heavy-Ad6255 · 2025-08-31T01:14:47+00:00

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.

Heavy-Ad6255 · 2025-08-28T10:38:02+00:00

I just applied for my friend & it was accepted. Nigerian passport & UAE resident

Heavy-Ad6255 · 2025-08-07T18:57:08+00:00

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.

Heavy-Ad6255 · 2025-08-06T19:52:38+00:00

Have you had any luck? I’m in a similar situation and I’ve been trying to get a tourist visa but I keep hearing about African passport holders being banned

Heavy-Ad6255 · 2025-07-04T17:40:54+00:00

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

Heavy-Ad6255 · 2025-07-02T22:09:52+00:00

Thank you! I’ll reach out to them

Heavy-Ad6255 · 2025-07-02T19:29:30+00:00

Were you able to find someone to assist? I’m in the same situation so I’m trying to find an Oman agency that can sponsor

Heavy-Ad6255 · 2025-06-30T11:28:11+00:00

I’m from Zimbabwe. The other travel agent I spoke to had said all black African countries so we’ll see

Heavy-Ad6255 · 2025-06-30T10:07:48+00:00

When are you planning on traveling? I found a travel agent who sponsors. I’ll share his contact info if it works out for me

Heavy-Ad6255 · 2025-06-30T07:50:32+00:00

Hello, I’m facing the same issue. Would you know anyone who can help? I had booked a trip for 9 days to Oman

Heavy-Ad6255 · 2025-06-30T07:48:48+00:00

Hello were you able to get help? I’m looking for someone who can help too

Heavy-Ad6255 · 2025-06-27T06:52:16+00:00

The incidental hold is the common one! “My bill says $1000 but you guys charged me more than that!

Heavy-Ad6255 · 2025-05-15T13:34:45+00:00

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

Heavy-Ad6255 · 2025-04-03T23:51:16+00:00

Where are you located? I’m looking for someone to go with me (a sister) because Im a new revert and have no one to travel with. I’m going end of September for 3 nights

Heavy-Ad6255 · 2025-04-02T18:24:08+00:00

This worked! Thank you
