UAE starts deporting Pakistanis coming to emirates for employment on visit visa

August 24, 2022 06:40 PM


The chairman of the Pakistan Overseas Employment Promoters Association (POEPA) has written a letter to Federal Minister for Overseas Pakistanis Sajid Hussain Turi, informing him that the government of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has started deporting the Pakistanis coming to the emirates for employment on visit visa, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Wednesday.

“The UAE has tightened its immigration policy for Pakistan after the misuse of its visit visa by the Pakistani nationals. Now, visas are not being issued on the passports issued from 20 cities of Pakistan,” reads the text of the letter.

“Now, the conditions of six-month bank statement and 5,000 dirhams have been imposed for the grant of visit visas to Pakistanis,” it adds.

“Fake agents are sending innocent people to the UAE on visit visa for hundreds of thousands of rupees. The Government of Pakistan should take a stern action against the fake agents,” it stated.

“People, coming to the UAE on visit visas, do not get jobs due to lack of documents and are forced to beg. The professional promoters are being discredited due to fraudulent agents,” it points out.
