In a significant development for ties between Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the UAE has reportedly resolved previous visa-related issues for Pakistani citizens. As a result, Pakistani nationals can now apply for five-year UAE visas.
The announcement came during a meeting held at the Governor House in Karachi between Sindh Governor Kamran Khan Tessori and UAE Ambassador Hamad Obaid Al Zaabi. UAE Consul General Bakheet Ateeq Al Remeithi was also present at the meeting.
Governor Tessori acknowledged the UAE’s ongoing investment in Sindh and Karachi, calling it a strong indicator of the growing cooperation between the two countries. He welcomed the improvement in visa policy, which is expected to benefit Pakistani citizens who seek opportunities in the UAE.
Ambassador Al Zaabi extended an invitation to the governor to visit the newly established UAE visa centre in Karachi. The centre is expected to ease the application process and ensure better service for applicants from the region.
