After a prolonged suspension, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has resumed issuing visit visas for Pakistani nationals. While this development offers new travel opportunities, visa approvals remain highly selective, with travel agents reporting a 50/50 chance of success.
Who Can Apply? Conditions Are Key
Travel agents across the UAE and Pakistan confirm that while some applicants are receiving approvals—especially those applying for the 5-year multiple-entry visa—others are facing rejections even with complete documentation. According to recent trends, applicants are more likely to succeed if they meet certain criteria:
- Age Priority: Individuals aged 50 and above have higher approval rates.
- Family Ties: Those with immediate family members residing in the UAE—such as spouses or children—are also more likely to receive approval.
That said, the process remains unpredictable. Even with all required documents, approval is not guaranteed, and rejected applicants do not receive visa fee refunds. 
5-Year Multiple-Entry Visa: A Preferred Option
The 5-year multiple-entry tourist visa has become increasingly popular among Pakistani travelers. This visa allows:
- Unlimited entries into the UAE over a five-year period
- Stay up to 90 days per visit, with the possibility of re-entering after exiting
To apply, travelers must provide:
- A valid passport (minimum 6 months validity)
- A recent personal photo
- A 6-month bank statement demonstrating financial stability
- Health insurance coverage
- A round-trip flight ticket (required for first entry)
This visa is ideal for those who travel frequently to the UAE for business, family visits, or leisure—but applicants must ensure all documentation is clear, consistent, and complete.
Why Are Some Visas Being Rejected?
Industry professionals believe the UAE immigration authorities are currently applying stricter scrutiny to visit visa applications. Past visa overstays, weak financial profiles, and incomplete paperwork are some of the main reasons behind the high rejection rate.
Experts advise applicants to:
- Review all documents thoroughly before applying
- Ensure financial documents are consistent with declared income
- Use only licensed and trusted visa agencies to avoid scams
- Be prepared to wait longer than usual—processing now often takes 7–10 business days
Planning to Apply? Here’s How to Increase Your Chances
To boost your chances of approval:
- Work with licensed visa consultants based in the UAE
- Provide a clear and stable financial history (at least 6 months)
- Avoid any discrepancies in bank documents and income sources
- Triple-check your application and consider professional documentation review
