Important Update: Temporary UAE Visa Restrictions for Kenyan and Sri Lankan Passport Holders
Dear Valued Travelers,
We're sharing an important update regarding visa applications for the UAE that may affect some of our clients. We've been informed by UAE immigration authorities about a temporary restriction on visa applications specifically for Kenyan and Sri Lankan passport holders.

What This Means for You:
As a result of this temporary restriction, there is currently an increased risk of rejection for visa applications from individuals holding Kenyan and Sri Lankan passports.
However, we have observed a trend that individuals above 40 years of age from these nationalities appear to have a higher likelihood of their applications being approved. Please note that this is an observation and not a guarantee of approval.
Key Action Required:
If you are a Kenyan or Sri Lankan passport holder planning to apply for a UAE visa, it is crucial that you inform us before submitting your visa applications. This will allow us to advise you appropriately and help you avoid unnecessary risks and potential processing issues.
Our Commitment to You:
We understand that such restrictions can be concerning, and we want to assure you that we are closely monitoring the situation. We will keep you updated as soon as the restriction is lifted or if there are any further changes to the current policy.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we navigate these temporary changes.
Best regards,
The Visa Department
