3. UAE Tourist Visa Services (Non-Refundable Policy)
- Before Immigration Submission: If a partner requests cancellation before our document verification desk has uploaded and submitted the passport files to the UAE immigration portal, a refund is issued less an administrative processing fee of AED 50 per application.
- After Immigration Submission: Once an application has been uploaded and submitted into the GDRFA (Dubai) or ICP (Federal) immigration network, all visa fees, government charges, and typing fees are 100% non-refundable under all circumstances. This applies regardless of whether the visa application is approved, delayed for security screening, or rejected by immigration authorities.
4. Timed Attraction Tickets & Theme Parks (Non-Refundable)
Certain attraction admissions in Dubai operate on strict timed-slot allocations governed directly by attraction operators (including Emaar Entertainment, Dubai Frame, Museum of the Future, and Dubai Parks & Resorts).
Once a timed entry voucher or ticket barcode has been officially generated, it is 100% non-refundable, non-exchangeable, and non-reschedulable as per attraction management rules.
