The Pakistani Embassy in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has denied recent media reports claiming that the UAE government shared an official document outlining the reasons behind the visa restrictions imposed on Pakistani nationals.
In a statement issued by the embassy, it rejected the allegations, calling the claims “factually incorrect.” The embassy clarified that no such document had been shared by UAE authorities.
“Pakistan enjoys strong and cordial relations with the UAE, and both governments are committed to addressing any issues of mutual concern through official channels and constructive dialogue,” the statement read.
It also emphasized that the embassy remains dedicated to safeguarding the interests of Pakistani nationals in the UAE and continues to work closely with UAE authorities to strengthen bilateral ties.
However, earlier reports by Dawn News suggested that the UAE had outlined several concerns behind the visa ban. According to the report, official documents shared with Pakistan’s embassy highlighted that the decision to impose visa restrictions followed a review of complaints regarding the conduct of Pakistani nationals.
The documents allegedly pointed to social media misuse, including protests and criticism of UAE government policies, which were seen as tarnishing the UAE’s image.
Furthermore, concerns over criminal activities such as theft, fraud, begging, and drug-related offenses were reportedly raised. The UAE was also said to have cited issues with document forgery involving Pakistani citizens.

Pakistan Embassy is lying, it’s state policy to lie on every matter , from firewall to VPN, UAE govt is rejecting 99% visas and it is only done after approval from Cabinet of UAE
Embassy is telling lie, UAE government is cancelling visas continuously for pakistani nationals since a year.
So, what is the reason behind the ban on Pakistanis…. and where is our honorable ambassador…. what are they doing in UAE Embassy? Is it not their prime responsibility to resolve this issue?
It happened to me. I travelled from Australia to Dubai and had 16 hours stay at DXB airport before boarding the flight to Islamabad. I was rejected a transit visa just because of green passport. I even had an Australian work visa and was visiting family. I had to stay 16 hours at airport. This is a pathetic behavior of UAE to Pakistani nationals.

UAE has imposed a blanket visa ban on Pakistani passports. I have been working at C-Level in a Bank outside Pakistan for the last 12 years and missed Board meeting held in Dubai early this week as I was denied a visa. Interesting to mention that I visited Turkey and UK in May this year on official trip and got visa for both places without any hassle.
If Pakistanis can’t get visas then what is the purpose of douches sitting in Embassy in Abu Dhabi?
Half staff and remaining half’s salaries shall be axed as they failed to safeguard Pakistan’s interests in the UAE.
