The UAE Embassy recently announced updated visa guidelines for Pakistani citizens planning to travel to the UAE. New instructions provide details on the required documents, how to apply, and rules for younger applicants.
A spokesperson explained that the visa processing fee is $69 (roughly Rs. 19,300) per person. For visit, tourist, and family visas, applications must be completed online, while employment visas follow a different procedure. Once the application is in, applicants will receive a notice with details about their appointment at the embassy or visa center.
