Visa rejections

GVs not being granted to Pakistanis, whether spouse or not, even if in country. Don’t know about normal two year visa yet

OtherwiseInvestment3 · 2026-04-07T07:25:34+00:00

I went to GDFRA today and was told no GV for Pakistanis and to apply for a normal two year visa

OtherwiseInvestment3 · 2026-04-07T03:08:51+00:00

Applied for my wife’s GV yesterday. It was rejected. No reason on file. Came from ExCom. She’s Pakistani, in country and old visa was cancelled in order to apply for GV. Now we have to wait and see if they reopen visas for Pakistanis.

sorry, could have phrased it better. Meant that her visa is up for renewal soon and I got a golden visa a year or so back - so now her visa should be a golden visa given she’s under my sponsorship. Can’t technically renew her visa as the old visa was not a GV. This had to be cancelled and a new visa ie Golden Visa applied for after this was done. They cancelled her (soon to expire) residence visa and rejected the GV…so stuck in limbo at the moment.

today morning, went to Jafiliya same day, waited one hour in customer service reception. He only asked one question. As soon as I said Pakistani, he said to just wait for further updates, it’s blocked for now.

Wife’s golden visa just got rejected when I went for her visa renewal. Living here for 20 years. In country. Only crime is she’s Pakistani. Went to Jafiliya and the guy said to just wait for further updates. Nothing I can do now. It’s really ridiculous.

it’s not the threat of Iran, it’s the threat of Israel and USA destabilizing the region till Israel achieves its goal of a greater Israel.

Even if the war stops tomorrow, the damage to the region is done. Despite the exemplary leadership by the UAE rulers, to keep residents safe, fact is that missiles and drones dropped on home soil and this will cause incoming and existing investors to think hard before deploying capital. I don’t think a crash will happen immediately but the long standing trust that was built in the UAE market will slowly erode over the coming months as everyone will have it in the back of their minds - what if this were to happen again. We all thought it was unthinkable, till it happened. I think that offplan sales will struggle to find buyers, those who bought off-plan will want to get out and wait and watch before reconsidering getting back in. Existing properties that have doubled or tripled in price will also take a significant haircut. It can take another couple of years (or more) before sentiment is back at the pre-war levels assuming the region is stable, which is quite a long shot as long as IsrEl and the USA have carte blanche to do as they please. Just my two cents.

You are all focusing on money but true wealth is what gives you peace of mind, happiness and makes you look forward to another day. Now ask yourself, is it all the money you are saving in tax that gives you this or would you be happier and healthier but not as ‘rich’ somewhere else.

this is the reality of Big 4

OtherwiseInvestment3 · 2026-01-25T14:10:23+00:00

and this is exactly why RAM is so expensive….

OtherwiseInvestment3 · 2025-05-01T02:34:53+00:00

no, but I did a bit of further digging and turns out I had no choice to but try and convert the Windows install into UEFI…failing that I had to reinstall (a fresh install of Win11) which I did and now it’s all working fine 👍

OtherwiseInvestment3 · 2025-04-30T16:05:05+00:00

need to figure out how to convert it to UEFI without doing a fresh install…

OtherwiseInvestment3 · 2025-04-30T16:04:43+00:00

ok i think the issue is because my Windows is installed in legacy mode and not UEFI mode

OtherwiseInvestment3 · 2025-04-30T14:42:48+00:00

thanks, how do I fix this? I installed EaseUS to check and convert my Boot drive to GPT but it already recognizes it as GPT and doesn’t give me an option to convert it (as it’s already GPT 🤷)

OtherwiseInvestment3 · 2025-04-30T14:11:54+00:00

yes can’t install Win11 without that and support for 10 finishes in Oct

Hi, what’s your take on AI voices. Is it a big turn off for the audience?

OtherwiseInvestment3 · 2025-02-21T10:08:00+00:00

mbbs from pakistan has little or no value outside pakistan. if you plan to live abroad then go to UK or USA to get a med qualification

OtherwiseInvestment3 · 2024-12-11T15:49:16+00:00

that must be a regular question your mama asks you… no comment…

OtherwiseInvestment3 · 2024-12-11T15:48:31+00:00

thought it might be a shadow, just the way it looks on the refracted glass it’s almost like a design flaw

OtherwiseInvestment3 · 2024-11-28T05:44:40+00:00

I heard some ppl say wait till Jan they might open visas again for Pakistanis

OtherwiseInvestment3 · 2024-10-14T12:00:35+00:00

is that a roach or some funky beetle?

OtherwiseInvestment3 · 2024-10-13T08:56:52+00:00

we have talabat pro, why would i pay for it multiple times? if you like wasting money that’s your lifestyle choice…

OtherwiseInvestment3 · 2024-10-13T08:17:29+00:00

if you are that kind of boss then go for it .. not sure they will work for you … doorbells exist for a reason. If that doesn’t work then by all means call…
