UAE assures easing Pak visa processing

The UAE has assured Pakistan of its "full support" in expediting visa processing for its citizens, particularly in the domain of work permits, as part of broader efforts to enhance bilateral ties in security and immigration affairs.

This assurance came from UAE's Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister, Lieutenant General Sheikh Saif bin Zayed Al Nahyan, during a meeting with Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, who is currently in the Gulf country on an official visit.

According to APP, the high-level meeting marked a key diplomatic exchange aimed at deepening cooperation in critical areas such as security, counter-narcotics and streamlined immigration protocols.

Minister Naqvi was accorded a warm welcome upon arrival at the UAE Ministry of Interior, where he received a guard of honour. He was formally introduced to senior UAE officials before entering into extensive talks with his counterpart and other officials.

A central focus of the discussions was the facilitation of visa processes for Pakistani nationals, especially those seeking employment opportunities in the UAE.
