According to official confirmation from the Travel Agents Association of Pakistan (TAAP) and industry representatives, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has officially resumed issuing visit visas to Pakistani passport holders applying through registered travel agencies.
This update resolves months of scrutiny and extended processing delays. Travel executives report that family visit visas are seeing the highest approval rates and fastest processing times. Reflecting this positive shift, daily passenger traffic from Pakistani airports to Dubai has more than doubled—rising from 170 passengers per day earlier this summer to nearly 400 daily travelers.
Key Takeaways for Travelers & Applicants:
- Authorized Channels Only: Applications must be processed via licensed, registered travel agencies.
- Priority Processing: Family visit applications and travelers joining UAE-based relatives are receiving faster turnarounds.
- Required Documentation: Genuine 3–6 month bank statements, return tickets, and valid CNIC/Passport details remain mandatory to ensure instant clearance.
