On March 1, 2026, the Embassy of Pakistan in Abu Dhabi and the Consulate General in Dubai announced a temporary suspension of all consular services due to heightened regional security concerns. This decision, effective until March 3, 2026, was made following advisories from the UAE's Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation, which recommended remote work and limited outdoor presence for workers. The embassy stated, "This measure is in the interest of safety and well-being of community members and embassy staff alike," emphasizing the precautionary nature of the suspension. Pakistani nationals were urged to follow local authorities' instructions and rely on official announcements for updates regarding the resumption of services (The Frontier Post, Aaj.tv, Khaleej Times).
