Did UAE impose visa ban on Bangladesh? Embassy responds - here's what they said

Bangladesh embassy in United Arab Emirates dismissed reports of visa ban calling the information "incorrect." It further said that UAE had not issued any directive restricting visas for Bangladeshis citizens, Gulf News reported.

“The information circulated by the said website is not correct,” the news portal quoted the embassy statement saying.

Bangladeshi ambassador to UAE, Tareq Ahmed, also denied any such reports calling it a "malicious post.”

“From what we understand, this may be a malicious post,” Dhaka Tribune quoted him saying.

The clarification came after a travel site claimed that nine countries, including Bangladesh, faced visa ban. The reports spread widely in the media and on social platforms, but no official UAE source had confirmed them.

Embassy statement noted that public reviews indicated the company behind the website was “not trustworthy” and had a “reputation of being a scammer.” The embassy cautioned citizens in Bangladesh and UAE against being misled by false reports.
