What is the role of VFS and Emirates in the visa application process?
The DVPC has been set up to enhance convenience for Emirates' passengers. The decision on whether to issue or refuse a visa is the sole prerogative of Dubai Immigration. VFS Global and Emirates do not influence Dubai Immigration in any manner, and cannot make any recommendation for issue of a visa. We would greatly appreciate your understanding on event Dubai Immigration refuses your visa application.
