Visa Status & Eligibility
Visa-free entry may apply
No visa exemption exists for Pakistani passport holders, and holding a valid US visa does not grant visa-free entry to the United Arab Emirates
Application notes
- Pakistani passport holders holding a valid US visa are not eligible for UAE visa-on-arrival or e-visa pathways based solely on that document
- Travelers must obtain a pre-arranged visa through a sponsor such as a UAE-based airline, hotel, or licensed travel agency
- Emirates or Etihad Airways can facilitate visa sponsorship if you book your flight with them
- Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your intended date of departure from the UAE
- Applications should be submitted at least two weeks prior to the intended travel date to account for processing times
