Pakistan UAE visa — every visa type explained for Pakistani passport holders: visit, tourist, work, residence, business and the 5-year multiple-entry option.
Quick answer: Pakistanis can get UAE visit/tourist visas (30/60-day, from ~PKR 22,000), work visas (employer-sponsored, safest via OEC), residence visas (employment/business/family), and the 5-year multiple-entry tourist visa.
Visit & Tourist Visas
30/60-day single or multiple entry (AED 200/300 + VAT; PKR 22,000–55,000 via agencies); extendable twice by 30 days. Plus the 5-year multiple-entry visa for eligible frequent travellers. Details: our visit visa guide.
Work Visas
Employer-sponsored: job offer → work permit → medical → residence. Safest route: Pakistan’s Overseas Employment Corporation (OEC) — government-supervised with official UAE employer quotas. Verify the employer is MoHRE-registered before paying anything.
Residence Visas
Via employment, business ownership, family sponsorship or investor programmes. Residents can sponsor spouses and children. 1.6 million Pakistanis hold UAE residence.

Company formation in Dubai/Abu Dhabi free zones brings long-term residency, business ownership rights and UAE banking access — popular with Pakistani entrepreneurs. Full hub: our UAE visa pillar guide.
