Islamabad : Saudi Arabian embassy Thursday billed rumours as “absolutely unfounded” that it has stopped issuing visas to Pakistanis, saying, it was issuing all types of visas to them.
The Saudi embassy in Islamabad and Saudi Consulate General in Karachi are issuing thousands of visas every day to all categories of Umrah visits and employment applicants. There has not been any change whatsoever in the number or type of visas for the Pakistani citizens, said a statement of the embassy here. “The embassy is confident that this clarification puts an end to malicious rumours and reaffirms the confidence of Pakistani brothers and sisters in the time tested friendship and fraternity with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,” it said.
