Pakistanis often look for better job opportunities in Gulf regions like the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Oman. These countries offer good salaries and tax-free income. Many Pakistanis work in cities like Dubai, Bahrain, and Muscat.
Recently, there were rumors that the UAE made it harder for young Pakistani men to get visas. However, Abu Dhabi denied these rumors. So far, there are no new restrictions on visit or work visas for Pakistanis.
