KARACHI: An envoy of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has rejected reports claiming that Pakistanis are being denied visas, stressing that the consulate is witnessing record numbers of applications in recent weeks.
“Every type of visa is being processed, and reports of a ban are completely false,” said UAE Consul General in Karachi, Bakheet Ateeq Alremeithi, in an exclusive interview with Geo News.
He added that the visa section at the Karachi consulate is experiencing unprecedented rush for all categories of visas, and some types now require advance booking exceeding one month. The surge marks the highest level of visa demand the consulate has seen in the past three years.
