It is recommended to request your entry permit two weeks at least prior to your travel because there might be any possible issues like the refusal of your application. The approval usually takes a few days.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Should_You_Do_If_Your_Return_Permit_Was_Rejected\"><\/span>What Should You Do If Your Return Permit Was Rejected?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It is rare that the entry permit for UAE residents gets rejected. However, if this happens, there&#8217;s nothing to worry about. You are allowed to reapply for GDRFA approval only 5 days after the rejection. However, in case of rejection, it is much recommended that you contact the GDRFA to inquire about the reason behind the rejection of their entry. This is because there might be a problem with their visa validity or other possible problems that need to be solved in order for you to be able to return to the UAE.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>We have provided a step-by-step guide to checking the GDRFA approval status online through the GDRFA website and application.
