Authorities in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have uncovered a disturbing trend where Pakistani applicants are submitting forged educational degrees and fake job contracts to secure work visas. The revelation has sparked concerns among UAE immigration officials, who are now tightening verification processes to curb fraudulent applications.
According to sources, dozens of Pakistani applicants were caught attempting to enter the UAE job market using counterfeit documents. Many of these cases involved fake employment offers from non-existent companies and tampered academic credentials. The UAE authorities have already blacklisted several applicants and are considering stricter penalties, including potential legal action and deportation.
In response, the Pakistani government has pledged to cooperate with UAE officials to address the issue. Officials from the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) have indicated that they will take action against individuals and agents involved in producing and supplying fake documents.
With the UAE being a key destination for Pakistani expatriates seeking employment, experts warn that such fraudulent activities could damage the country’s reputation and make it harder for genuine applicants to secure work opportunities.
UAE authorities have urged all visa applicants to ensure their documents are legitimate and warned that strict legal measures will be taken against those found guilty of forgery.
