Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe United Arab Emirates has stopped approving visas for the citizens of 13 countries with Muslim majorities, due to unspecified security concerns, Reuters reports, citing sources with knowledge of the matter.
The nations include Syria, Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan.
The report says the ban is unlikely to remain in place for long.
Reuters’ sources say the move is not connected to Abu Dhabi’s recent normalization deal with Israel.
