Pakistani citizens can now apply for five-year visas to the United Arab Emirates (UAE), according to a recent announcement by UAE Ambassador Hamad Obaid Al Zaabi. He shared this news during a meeting with the Governor of Sindh, Kamran Khan Tessori, held in Karachi. The meeting was also attended by the UAE Consul General, Bakheet Ateeq Al Remeithi.
During the discussion, Ambassador Al Zaabi invited Governor Tessori to visit the UAE visa center in Karachi. This center is designed to make it easier for Pakistani nationals to apply for UAE visas and to help improve the overall application process.
As part of the new visa policy, applicants will need to meet a few basic requirements. These include providing a round-trip airline ticket, proof of hotel accommodation, and a security deposit of AED 3,000. These steps are meant to ensure that the travel is genuine and well-planned.
The UAE government has also taken steps to resolve past problems related to visa applications. In the past, some issues arose from the use of fake documents and people overstaying their visas. By addressing these concerns, the UAE hopes to make the process smoother, more transparent, and more efficient for future applicants.
This new five-year visa option reflects the UAE’s efforts to strengthen ties with Pakistan and to promote safe and lawful travel between the two countries.
