Bad news for Pakistanis seeking jobs in UAE as ambassador shares new update.
A bad news for unskilled Pakistani workers as the United Arab Emirates blue-collar jobs will become harder for them as UAE Ambassador Faisal Niaz Tirmizi shared a new shift in approach of the Gulf nation.
The news comes as Pakistanis are facing multiple rejections of UAE visa applications, with generalisations about issues like begging and illegal activities affecting legitimate applicants.
It’s a major failure of the Pakistani diplomats who have failed to convince UAE authorities to adopt a more flexible approach despite contributing significantly to the UAE’s real estate and infrastructure.
Timazi explained that unskilled Pakistani workers will face hard times securing jobs in the UAE as the country moves to hire professionals.

According to Tirmizi, the demand for unskilled labour is coming to an end, while sectors such as IT, banking, artificial intelligence, healthcare, and aviation are seeing a surge in opportunities.
He further urged Pakistani workers to get demanding skills to get high-paying roles.
Skilled professionals in the UAE can earn salaries of Rs1.5 million, significantly more than the figures being offered to unskilled labourers.
He urged Pakistan to invest in training programs to ensure its workforce can take advantage of these growing opportunities.
The envoy highlighted the longstanding and evolving partnership between Pakistan and the UAE, noting that their relationship extends beyond labour exports and into broader economic cooperation.
He also revealed ongoing talks to establish pilot training schools in Pakistan, aiming to provide affordable training for aspiring aviators.
