Pakistan’s diplomatic missions in the United Arab Emirates have temporarily suspended consular services for Pakistani nationals, citing heightened regional security concerns and precautionary measures to ensure staff and public safety.

In separate public advisories, the Embassy of Pakistan in Abu Dhabi and the Consulate General of Pakistan in Dubai announced that all routine consular services would remain suspended until March 3, 2026.

The missions said the decision followed security advisories issued by the UAE’s Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation, amid the evolving regional situation.

Officials described the move as a precautionary step aimed at safeguarding embassy personnel and visitors.

Consular operations will resume once conditions stabilise, with updated information to be shared through official channels.

Pakistani nationals residing in the UAE have been advised to strictly follow local authorities’ instructions and remain alert to official safety announcements.

Both missions also issued emergency contact numbers, urging citizens facing urgent situations to reach out for immediate assistance while routine public services remain temporarily halted.
