If your job contract was approved or your UAE visa was issued, that doesn't mean every Pakistani is having the same experience. You might simply be one of the lucky ones.
The last time I posted here saying our government should step up and engage with the UAE authorities to protect the interests of Pakistanis who have spent years building their lives there, many people replied with things like, "Nothing is happening," "We're living peacefully," and similar comments, as if their personal experience represented everyone else's.
But I personally know several people who had their visas cancelled unexpectedly and had to leave everything behind. Today I came across another post on Facebook describing a very similar situation.
Just because you haven't been affected doesn't mean there isn't a real problem. Many people are reporting visa issues, new visa applications being rejected or cancelled, and job contracts not being issued through MOHRE. Ignoring these reports doesn't help those who are going through them.
Instead of dismissing these concerns, our government should actively engage with the UAE government, understand what's happening, and work towards resolving the situation. Thousands of Pakistani workers and their families depend on stability, and they deserve support when they face uncertainty.
So they aree charging 2.5-3.5 lacs just to draw the map and its basically the same map a local company drew for 20k and chatgpt drew for free. So whats all the extra money for!
As of 2025, more than 1.7 million Pakistanis were living in the UAE. This is one of Pakistan’s largest overseas communities and a major source of remittances.
But since the recent conflict in the region, the situation for many Pakistanis appears to have become increasingly uncertain.
We are hearing about visas being cancelled or rejected, including cases involving people who have lived in the UAE for 20, 30, or even 40 years, and people who were born and raised there. Some reportedly cannot even obtain a visit visa after leaving.
This problem also goes beyond people who want to live or work in the UAE. Pakistanis applying to countries such as Finland, where certain consular or visa processes may require travel outside Pakistan, have historically used the UAE as a regional hub. If they cannot even obtain a UAE visit visa, their access to other countries can also become more difficult.
There are also reports of people losing jobs, businesses and lives they spent decades building. Thousands are reportedly returning to Pakistan, and the bigger question is what happens in the coming months and years as more Pakistani residents’ work and residence visas come up for renewal.
If a significant number are unable to renew, the consequences will not just affect individuals and families. Pakistan could eventually face a serious impact on remittances and employment.
Does Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s government or Field Marshal Asim Munir have a clear understanding of the scale of this issue? More importantly, is the Pakistani government in serious talks with the UAE government to understand and resolve whatever concerns or misunderstandings exist?
Initially, much of the discussion focused on reports that Pakistani from a "paericular sect*' or people perceived to have that sect names, were being affected. But I am now personally seeing cases involving Pakistanis with no apparent religious sect connection whose visas are also being rejected or who are being required to leave.
So what exactly is happening?
Is this still primarily related to the regional conflict? Is it a broader tightening of immigration policy toward Pakistani nationals? Are there security, diplomatic, documentation, or other concerns that the public has not been told about?
And most importantly, what is the Government of Pakistan actually doing about it?
I would especially like to hear from Pakistanis currently in the UAE, people who have recently had visas rejected or cancelled, employers dealing with Pakistani visa applications, and anyone with reliable information about whether the Pakistani and UAE governments are actively discussing this issue.
Help me identify an old UAE melon juice (around 10 to 15 years ago)
This has been bugging me for years.
Around 10 to 15 years ago, I used to buy a mixed melon juice in Abu Dhabi. It wasn't a long-life/UHT juice. It was a fresh refrigerated juice with an expiry of about 1 to 2 weeks.
From what I remember:
It was sold in Abu Dhabi supermarkets.
The flavor was a blend of melons (sweet melon/honeydew and possibly other melons).
It tasted amazing and I haven't found anything like it since.
I vaguely remember the brand being something like Al Rawabi, Al Ain, or maybe even Almarai, but I'm not certain.
Does anyone remember this drink? Was it a discontinued product, or was it made by another UAE brand?
If anyone remembers the brand, packaging, or even has an old photo, I'd really appreciate it!
