Planning a trip to Dubai or anywhere in the UAE? Your visa is your first step to making that dream a reality. But many travelers — especially first-timers — make simple mistakes that can cause delays, extra costs, or even visa rejection.
At Clauz Tours and Travel, we’ve helped hundreds of clients successfully get their UAE visas, and we’ve seen the same errors come up again and again.
Here are the most common mistakes people make when applying for a UAE visa — and how you can avoid them.
❌ 1. Submitting a Blurry or Low-Quality Passport Copy
Why it’s a problem:
Your passport copy must be clear and easy to read. If it’s blurry, dark, or cut off, your application could be delayed or rejected.
✅ How to avoid it:
Take a clear photo in good lighting or scan your passport using a scanner app. Make sure all corners and details are visible.
❌ 2. Sending the Wrong Type of Photo
Why it’s a problem:
Some people send selfies or old photos that don’t meet UAE visa standards (like no white background or the wrong size).
✅ How to avoid it:
Use a recent passport-size photo with a plain white background. No filters, no shadows.
❌ 3. Using an Expired or Soon-to-Expire Passport
Why it’s a problem:
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your intended date of travel. Anything less will automatically disqualify you.
✅ How to avoid it:
Check your passport validity before applying. If it’s close to expiring, renew it first.
❌ 4. Choosing the Wrong Type of Visa
Why it’s a problem:
Each visa type is meant for a specific purpose and duration. Choosing the wrong one could lead to rejection or legal issues while in the UAE.
✅ How to avoid it:
Talk to us at Clauz Tours — we’ll guide you to the right visa (14-day, 30-day, 60-day, or 2-year residence visa) based on your plans.
❌ 5. Providing False or Incomplete Information
Why it’s a problem:
Falsifying details or skipping important info (like past visa history or travel dates) can lead to rejection or future travel bans.
✅ How to avoid it:
Be honest and accurate. Double-check all your personal details before submission.
❌ 6. Waiting Until the Last Minute to Apply
Why it’s a problem:
Visa processing can take 1–3 working days, sometimes longer during busy seasons. Last-minute applications cause panic and limited flight options.
✅ How to avoid it:
Apply early! We recommend starting the process at least 7 days before your travel date.
❌ 7. Not Using a Trusted Travel Agent
Why it’s a problem:
Many people get scammed or delayed by unverified agents who disappear after payment or submit wrong details.
✅ How to avoid it:
Work with a reliable travel agency like Clauz Tours and Travel — we’re fast, honest, and always available on WhatsApp.
