The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has implemented strict new documentation requirements for Nepali citizens applying for UAE visa. These updated rules apply to tourist, visit, work, and most other visa categories and are now being strictly enforced by UAE immigration authorities.
At Only Tourism, we strongly advise applicants to carefully review the updated requirements—especially the newly introduced mandatory Police Clearance Certificate (PCC)—to avoid 100% rejection or long processing delays.
1. Mandatory Core Documents for UAE Visa (Tourist Visa)
Every Nepali citizen applying for a UAE visa must submit the following basic documents, regardless of visa category:
✔ Valid Nepalese Passport
- Must be valid for at least 6 months from the travel date.
✔ Passport-Size Photographs
- Recent, color photos
- White background
- As per UAE visa photo specifications
✔ Financial Proof
- Recent bank statements showing sufficient funds to support the stay
2. NEW Mandatory Requirement: Police Clearance Certificate (PCC)
As per the latest UAE immigration policy, a Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) is now compulsory for Nepali citizens applying for a UAE visa.
This applies to:
- UAE Tourist Visa
- UAE Visit Visa
- UAE Employment / Work Visa
- Most short-term and long-term UAE visas
Police Clearance Certificate – Attestation Requirements
To be accepted by UAE immigration, the PCC must follow the correct attestation chain:
- Issued by Nepal Police
(Good Conduct / Character Certificate) - Attested by Nepal Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA)
- Stamped and verified by the UAE Embassy in Kathmandu
👉 For applicants applying from inside the UAE, UAE MOFA attestation may also be required depending on the visa purpose.
Why This Requirement Is Extremely Important
The Police Clearance Certificate is now a mandatory background verification document.
Without a properly issued and fully attested PCC, your UAE visa application may face:
- Immediate rejection
- Long delays
- Negative immigration records
⚠ Important:
Applications submitted without PCC or with incomplete stamps are very likely to be rejected.
At Only Tourism, we have already seen cases where missing or incorrect attestation resulted in 100% visa rejection.
Common UAE Visa Rejection Reasons for Nepali Citizens
- Missing Police Clearance Certificate
- PCC not attested by MOFA or UAE Embassy
- Incomplete or incorrect documentation
- Passport validity less than 6 months
- Mismatch in travel or accommodation details
