UAE Resumes Visit Visas for Pakistanis After Months of Delays

The United Arab Emirates has restarted the issuance of visit visas for Pakistani citizens, according to travel industry representatives and an UAE embassy official. The decision comes after months of uncertainty that had caused disruptions in travel to one of Pakistan’s key overseas destinations. Travel agents reported that the visa process is now functioning normally for Pakistani applicants through registered agencies.

The move is expected to benefit thousands of Pakistani tourists planning visits to the UAE, a popular destination for many. Officials confirmed that the visa process is now operational, though details on the exact timeline for processing were not immediately available. Travel industry sources noted that the resumption of visa services is a positive step for bilateral relations and tourism.

The UAE has long been a major tourist destination for Pakistanis, and the delay in visa processing had caused significant inconvenience. With the process now restored, travelers are hopeful that the situation will stabilize. The UAE embassy in Islamabad did not provide further details on the policy change, but officials expressed confidence in the new arrangement.
