Client problems
before coming to us
before coming to us
Documents were submitted, money was taken — but the visa never arrived.
Was promised a freelance visa and told I’d be able to work in the UAE — but that wasn’t true.
They didn’t explain how to renew this visa.
Was told I could stay outside the UAE — the visa got cancelled after 7 months.
Visa was issued in another emirate (because it was cheaper) and it cause lots of issues.
They stopped answering calls and refused to take responsibility.
