The National Assembly recently revealed that some Pakistani citizens have submitted fake degrees, diplomas, and job contracts to secure UAE visas.
The revelation emerged during a session chaired by Presiding Officer Abdul Qadir Patel, which spotlighted challenges in visa issuance.
During the question hour, officials disclosed that numerous visa applicants had used forged documents. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs reported additional issues: some Pakistani workers overstayed their UAE visas, while others engaged in political or criminal activities.

Foreign Minister Senator Ishaq Dar addressed these concerns in a written reply. He clarified that UAE officials have not imposed formal visa restrictions on Pakistanis. Instead, they’ve introduced a five-year visa scheme. This requires applicants to submit round-trip tickets, hotel bookings, proof of property ownership, and a 3,000-dirham pre-payment. These measures aim to curb fraudulent applications.
