Abu Dhabi: Recent reports indicated that the United Arab Emirates has suspended the issuance of tourist and work visas to citizens of nine countries. While this was not officially confirmed, it was reported that the announcement was part of the UAE’s 2026 visa ban. These countries include Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Yemen, Libya, Somalia, Lebanon, Cameroon, Sudan, and Uganda. Meanwhile, Bangladesh has responded to reports of the Emirates’ visa ban, calling them misleading.
Bangladesh denies the report
The Bangladeshi Embassy in the United Arab Emirates has denied reports that the UAE has banned the issuance of visas to Bangladeshi citizens. In an official statement, the embassy clarified that the false information originated from an unverified visa processing website. The embassy confirmed that UAE authorities have not officially announced any such ban.
Information on the website declared false
The statement stated that the information circulating on the alleged website is incorrect. It also stated that the UAE government has not issued any directives regarding visa restrictions for Bangladeshis. The embassy pointed out several deficiencies in the website. The website lists its address as Dubai, but its telephone number is registered in India. Its registration and technical contact are located in the UK, and its registrar is located in the US.
Meanwhile, the UAE’s ambassador to Uganda, Abdullah Hassan Al-Shamsi, has denied reports of visa restrictions on Ugandan citizens. Speaking to the media, the head of mission and the UAE ambassador to Uganda clarified that no official notification of such restrictions has been issued. He dismissed the media reports as false.
