Tourism minister Ahmed Al Khateeb says all the kingdom's projects are far away from the conflict
Earlier on Wednesday, according to a notice issued by Naeem Sharif, Chairman, Travel Agents Association Pakistan (TAAP), the UAE General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA) has issued a notification suspending issuance of UAE visas for Pakistanis.
A local media report (GEO TV) on the suspension soon went viral, putting many Pakistani travellers in a fix, who were planning to travel to UAE for the New Year.
Until Wednesday, no particular detail has been provided for the visa rejection, Pakistani media said.
Sharif said that this was a temporary arrangement, adding that he believes the service would resume from the start of the New Year, the report added.
He said that the visa restrictions had been imposed for Pakistanis only.
"The situation is normal," the official added.Visas being issued after technical glitch
Talking to this reporter, a travel agency in Pakistan confirmed Sharif's claim, adding that, however, applications were yet to be processed after the technical issue was resolved.
