The Embassy of Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates has temporarily suspended its passport processing services, causing difficulties for citizens seeking passport-related assistance.
On Wednesday, the embassy confirmed that the issuance of passports has been halted due to technical issues and routine maintenance work.
In a statement shared on the social media platform X, the embassy advised overseas Pakistanis to use the online application system for passport services or wait for further instructions.
