The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has firmly denied rumors on social media suggesting that it has placed a visa ban on Pakistani citizens.
In a video statement, Bakheet Obaid Al-Roumi, the Consulate General of the UAE, said that these claims are completely false. He emphasized that there is no ban on visas for Pakistanis, and the visa section at the UAE consulate continues to operate as usual.
Al-Roumi reassured that Pakistanis are welcome to travel to the UAE for work. He also made it clear that there are no age restrictions for work visas, meaning people of all ages from Pakistan can apply to work in the UAE.
This statement comes in response to growing concerns and confusion caused by incorrect information being spread online. The UAE consulate aims to provide clarity and reassure Pakistani citizens that they are still welcome to seek employment opportunities in the UAE.
