In an effort

to ensure the rights of children, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) government has decided to strictly enforce its laws regarding obtaining visas for Pakistanis below 18 years of age.

In an exclusive interview with Geo News, UAE Consul General in Karachi Bakheet Ateeq Al-Remeithi said, "A large number of Pakistanis who are on work visas in the UAE are violating the Wadeema Act - Federal Child Rights Act No. 3 of 2016."

According to the Consul General, these laws define children's right to education and a large number of Pakistanis deprive their children of this right by forcing them to sit at home.

"The government has made difficult decisions in this regard in the past in an important meeting," he said, adding that rules regarding the rights of children with families living in the UAE must be strictly enforced.

The Emirati envoy promoted the importance of education for children. "The UAE government has decided to crack down on parents who break child protection laws."

He said, "The Wadeem Act is for Pakistanis who have a work or residence visa."

Al-Remeithi called on Pakistani parents in the UAE to ensure their children's education and protect their rights, including rights related to health and freedoms.

The Consul General also told Geo News that there are 16 to 17 million Pakistanis living in the UAE.

those who break the law can be deported from the UAE and informed the media about the restrictions on obtaining new visas.

"In future, visas will be granted to Pakistanis who ensure the full implementation of the Wadeema Act."

Commenting on whether the law applies to other Pakistanis, Al-Remeithi said there is no such restriction for Pakistani nationals applying for a visitor visa.

“The UAE government will welcome Pakistanis coming to the UAE on a tourist visa and there is no restriction for them to visit the country,” the envoy explained.
