Which Pakistanis will UAE give visa to?
Pakistan claims that it has close diplomatic, economic and cultural relations with UAE. The report claims that the UAE is one of Pakistan’s largest trading partners in the Middle East, where a large number of Pakistani expatriates live and work. The official said that currently UAE is issuing visas only to Blue and diplomatic passport holders.
Considering the crime, UAE took the decision
Pakistan Senate Human Rights Committee head Samina Mumtaz Zehri said that people of Pakistan go to UAE and commit crimes, that is why visas are not being given. He said that in recent times very few people have been issued visas after much difficulty.
