Visa Rejection due to security reason

In United Arab Emirates
Last Updated: Aug 15, 2024

I am currently in Abu Dhabi UAE on a visit visa. My company applied for a work permit for me but it was rejected by immigration citing "security reasons". I don't know how to resolve this. I went to Abu Dhabi immigration office but they didn't provide any further information to me. now the company is willing to re-apply but no one knows the exact issue of why it got rejected in the first place. All my documents are fine, I have no case, debt, or anything like that in my name. The company is not helping anymore. I just want to know how can i clear my name and first of all how do I find out the exact reason in the first place?

If your work permit was rejected for “security reasons,” you usually need to request an official review, check for any immigration or security flags, and apply for clearance before reapplying. This typically requires legal follow-up with the authorities.
