UAE Visas for Pakistan
Recent Changes in UAE Visa Policy
As of 2025, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has clarified that there is no blanket visa ban on Pakistani citizens. Khaleej Times+2The Express Tribune+2
In fact, the UAE has recently started offering five-year multiple-entry visas to Pakistani nationals. This visa does not require a local guarantor or host — a major change compared to previous rules. travelsdubai.com+1

- Applicants must often submit additional documentation, including: stamped bank statements (showing minimum balance for several months), proof of accommodation (hotel booking or host stay), return-ticket, etc. HUM News+1
- Though there is no formal visa ban, many applicants report stricter scrutiny, longer processing times, and higher chance of rejection — especially for single young males. Dubai Visa+2The Express Tribune+2
What This Means for You
If you plan to travel to UAE for work, family, or tourism:
- Make sure your documentation is complete and accurate (bank statements, hotel/host confirmation, return flight, etc.).
- Applying for the 5-year multiple-entry visa seems easier now, but still obey application requirements carefully.
- Use official channels (embassy website or recognized visa-centres) rather than unauthorized agents.
