Islamabad: The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has rejected reports circulating on social media that the country has imposed a visa ban on Pakistanis.
UAE’s Consulate General Bakheet Obaid Al-Roumi, in a video statement, said there is no visa ban for Pakistanis, and the visa section at the UAE consulate remains open. Pakistanis are free to travel to the UAE for work visas, and there is no age limit for those seeking to enter the country.
Last week, Pakistani Foreign Office emphasized the need for regulated movement across the Pakistan-Afghanistan border through visas. Spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch stated that individuals entering Pakistan from Afghanistan must have a visa and an Afghan passport, reinforcing that border crossings should adhere to visa regulations.
