Users are discussing the website Emiratesvisa, which previously operated legitimately but now appears to have turned into a scam. A user named kurosaki4d reported paying for a UAE e-visa but has not received it after two months. According to the user, the support team only responds via WhatsApp with price lists, requests a color copy of the passport, and then stops communicating. The author is concerned that their personal information may be used for fraudulent activities and advises all victims to demand a chargeback through their bank.

The site used to be reliable: kurosaki4d used it six years ago and received a visa within 48 hours. Now, users speculate that the original business has closed, and the domain has been taken over by scammers exploiting the site's former reputation. According to user RockerChickk, the company may have gone bankrupt, and others are simply impersonating them using the old domain.

In the comments, people are questioning why anyone would use intermediaries when official websites exist. User TheFlimFlamFamMan advised using only government portals such as icp.gov.ae or u.ae, as well as airline websites (Emirates, Etihad). User dna_beggar added that when applying for visas or immigration, one should always look for information on official government websites first, rather than trusting third-party services.
