The United Arab Emirates Embassy in Pakistan has announced a significant change to its visa application process, effective June 2, 2025.
According to the embassy, only applicants with a verified biometric appointment code will be permitted to enter the visa center starting from that date.
In addition, the embassy stated that all applicants must first deposit a non-refundable fee of $69 at any branch of Bank Alfalah prior to their visit.
The updated procedure is aimed at streamlining the application process and enhancing security measures.
On the day of the appointment, applicants must bring the original bank receipt, all required documents, and photocopies of documents uploaded during the online visa application.
Applicants who completed the online visa form but have not received an appointment code should contact the EIMASS help desk at +971 2 418 6999.
After verification, the appointment code will be sent via SMS or email.
Once received, applicants must visit the portal (details provided via EIMASS) to select their appointment date and time using their passport number and appointment code.
This system is solely for biometric verification and document authentication related to visa applications.
