Bank statement requirement update for UAE visa from Pakistan.
In a surprising twist, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has revised rules for Pakistani nationals applying for visit visas for various reasons, including the begging issue.
Following the complaints made by the UAE to the Pakistani government, scrutiny of passengers travelling to the Gulf country has also been increased, as several are offloaded from planes on a daily basis for incomplete documentation or failing to meet the requirements of the visiting country.
Valid bank statement
Pakistani visitors who are interested in travelling to the UAE now need to provide a valid bank statement to prove that they have sufficient funds for their stay in the Arab country, which is emerging as an economic and tourist hub in the world.
Bank Statement Requirement for UAE Visa
Under new guidelines, Pakistanis travelling to the UAE on visit visas are required to show bank statements for the last 6 months, with a minimum balance of $5,000 or approximately Rs 1.4 million as of the March 12 exchange rate.
The tourists from Pakistan must ensure that they have all relevant documents before travelling to the UAE in order to avoid any trouble at the airport.
In case of being offloaded from the flight, the passenger can face loss in the wake of deduction on return of the air ticket and others.
UAE Visit Visa Processing Fee
The visa processing fee for visitors has been fixed at $69 per person, which is around Rs19,330.
