Islamabad — Pakistan Embassy in UAE has temporarily suspended all in-person consular services until further notice on March 4, 2026, as a precautionary measure amid the rapidly evolving regional situation. The decision follows an advisory from the UAE Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation recommending remote work for the private sector and urging people to avoid open areas. The embassy described the step as essential for the safety and well-being of both Pakistani community members and its own staff. Emergency contact numbers have been issued so nationals can still reach out for urgent assistance. This move comes against the backdrop of the ongoing Middle East conflict triggered by US-Israeli strikes on Iran, which has brought uncertainty to the Gulf region. Pakistani nationals in the UAE are advised to follow local instructions and stay updated through official channels.
