FAQ for Pakistani applicants
Can Pakistani citizens get a UAE visa on arrival?+
No. Pakistani passport holders must obtain a pre-approved UAE visa before travelling, regardless of any other visa held.
Does a UAE relative improve approval chances for Pakistani applicants?+
Yes. A sponsor providing their Emirates ID and tenancy contract makes the purpose and accommodation verifiable, which measurably reduces queries on Pakistani files.
Why is my UAE visa taking longer than 72 hours?+
Pakistani applications routinely pass through an additional security check that adds a few working days. It is standard procedure, not an indication of refusal.
Can Pakistani applicants get a 60-day UAE tourist visa?+
Yes, but approval is far more consistent once you have prior UAE entries on the passport. First-time applicants usually do better with the 30-day visa.
What documents does the sponsor in the UAE need to provide?+
A copy of their Emirates ID, their residence visa page, and the tenancy contract (Ejari) for the address where you will stay.
