Tips to maximise approval
Apply at least 7 days before your flight — Pakistani applications occasionally need extra security clearance.
Use a confirmed hotel booking, not a placeholder. Cancellable bookings on Booking.com work fine.
If you have a previous UAE visa stamp, mention it — repeat travellers see faster approvals.
