I applied for a UAE tourist visa through uaevisa.ae and deeply regret it. The platform looks legitimate, but behind the flashy website is a slow, unprofessional, and borderline predatory setup that should not be trusted with sensitive personal documents or money.
After I paid, I was informed that processing would begin two weeks later—completely unacceptable for a “fast visa service.” I requested an immediate cancellation (well within their own refund policy), and had to send multiple follow-ups before they reluctantly agreed.
Their “support” responses were evasive, offered irrelevant credit notes instead of refunds, and only backed down when I escalated with documented evidence.
Avoid this site. Apply through your airline (Etihad, Emirates), or a reputable travel agency. Don’t risk your personal data and money on a site that takes you for a ride the moment you hit “pay.” I am waiting for my refund- lets see if it comes within 7-10 days as they committed. I doubt.
