Abu Dhabi — The United Arab Emirates has announced the suspension of visit and work visas for citizens of several countries, citing security and administrative concerns. The move, confirmed by UAE immigration authorities, affects applicants from a list of nations that has not yet been officially disclosed.
Officials said the suspension is temporary and under review, but no timeline has been given for when normal visa services will resume. The decision has sparked concern among workers and families who rely on UAE residency for employment and travel.
The UAE, a key hub for expatriates, has previously introduced similar restrictions amid geopolitical and economic considerations.
