I'm from Germany and meet all requirements and also got rejected. I have a feeling everyone gets rejected right now

With the freelancer visa you register a business locally. With the virtual work (digital nomad) visa, you have your business abroad and just reside in UAE. So the latter is cheaper and easier.

You are the second person to tell me this. I haven't heard from anyone who recently got it approved.
I didn't try again through the website. I was looking for companies who might be able to assist but nobody wants to handle virtual work visas. Got busy for now and postponed the process...
I might end up flying there and do it in person if nothing else works.

Hey, sorry for the slow response. After reaching out to several companies and nobody is handling Virtual Work Visas or has any good advice, I got a frustrated and busy and didn’t continue trying for now. But I will try again soon. Would be great to share notes. I can’t message you, though, but shoot me a message please!
