My wife engaged KWS Middle East in October 2025 to assist with a UAE Golden Visa application and paid AED 12,500 upfront.

She was subsequently informed that the application had not been approved. The signed agreement states that where approval is not obtained, the amount paid will be refunded subject to consultancy charges of up to AED 3,000.

Despite requesting her refund for more than five months and following up repeatedly, the matter remains unresolved. No satisfactory explanation has been provided as to why the refund clause in the agreement does not apply.

After raising concerns publicly due to the lack of progress, she was informed that her comments could amount to a criminal offence under UAE law and was subsequently blocked on social media. Having reviewed the agreement and sought legal guidance, we do not accept that a customer raising a genuine contractual dispute and seeking a refund they believe is due under a signed agreement is acting improperly.

We remain willing to update this review if KWS resolves the matter professionally and in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

In November 2025 I approached KWS for support with my Golden Visa Application. I signed a contract stating that if the visa application is rejected I will receive my money back minus admin charges which the company will take. I signed the contract and began the application process. Fast forward to February 2026 I was told my application was rejected. I then requested my money back multiple times, over months and months. I was told every time I reached out that the money will be transferred but it never was.

I then contacted the company directly via WhatsApp with the contract I signed requesting my refund. I received no response. Having tried multiple avenues I went to their social media. I commented, requesting my refund back. Nothing vile, nothing rude. However, I was told that this is a “criminal offense” and I was shortly blocked. I hold a Bachelors and Masters degree, and I feel as though this company thinks I am a fool.

After persistent chasing, I am now being told that I have to email Accounts and Legal. I have been patiently waiting for my refund. I hope this doesn’t happy with any other client.

What truly stood out was the level of support beyond the basic setup — including guidance and preparation for the subsequent phases of opening and operating a branch in the Emirates. This gave us clarity, confidence, and strategic direction moving forward.

I strongly recommend Khyati and KWS Middle East to anyone seeking reliable, transparent, and well-organized support for company formation in the UAE.
