Dubai: The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has temporarily suspended the issuance of visit visas to a dozen countries which also include Pakistan.

The decision by the UAE authorities is "believed to be related to the second wave of Covid-19", Foreign Office Spokesperson Zahid Hafeez Chaudhri said in a statement as quoted by Dawn News.

"We are seeking official confirmation from the concerned UAE authorities in this regard," he said.

In a statement, Chaudhri clarified that the suspension will not apply to visas that have already been issued.

It was not immediately clear how many categories of visas would be affected by the suspension. The UAE has various visa categories including business, tourist, transit, student etc, reports Dawn News.

Pakistan has witnessed a massive increase in COVID-19 infection cases in recent times.
