Are Dubai visit visas banned for Pakistanis on June 20,2024?

There are reports indicating that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has imposed a ban on issuing visit visas to Pakistani nationals from specific cities. The ban primarily affects 24 cities in Pakistan, including Dera Ghazi Khan, Dera Ismail Khan, Kurram Agency, and others.

Travel agents and official government sources can provide the latest updates and guidance on navigating the visa application process under the current circumstances.
