The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has announced that it will implement faster visa processing for Pakistani nationals, aiming to simplify travel between the two countries and strengthen diplomatic and economic relations.
The move comes as part of a broader initiative by the UAE to enhance visa services for foreign nationals, including Pakistanis, who have long been a key workforce contributing to the UAE’s economy. The UAE government has pledged to significantly reduce processing times for work, tourist, and residency visas for Pakistani citizens, ensuring quicker approval and fewer administrative hurdles.
Pakistani officials have welcomed the initiative, noting its positive impact on business, tourism, and employment opportunities. This reform is expected to encourage more Pakistani nationals to seek employment and invest in the UAE, while also facilitating stronger cultural and people-to-people connections.
The UAE Embassy in Islamabad confirmed that the new measures would take effect from early next year, and citizens would be able to benefit from a more efficient and user-friendly visa process.
