A dedicated team from the Consulate General of Pakistan in Dubai conducted a visit to the Al Awir Immigration Centre set up by General Directorate of Residency and Foreign Affairs (GDRFA) Dubai and observed various amnesty services at the Centre.

The UAE government’s amnesty initiative provides an invaluable opportunity for individuals to regularise their residency status and address any outstanding legal matters related to immigration.

The consulate team was given an overview of the measures in place to assist individuals in resolving residency issues swiftly and efficiently.

The visiting team conveyed deep appreciation to the UAE government for its continued support and compassion towards expatriate communities, particularly Pakistanis.

“The Embassy and Consulate General of Pakistan remain fully committed to support fellow Pakistani community members during this period,” the Pakistani missions said in a statement.

The government of UAE has announced an amnesty scheme from Sept.1 to Oct.31, 2024.
