On the other side, the immigration authorities of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have imposed a new ban on travellers coming to UAE from Pakistan and have made it mandatory for the passport holder to have the name of the father or husband with a single name. A new travel advisory has been issued.

According to the advisory it has been made mandatory to have the name of the father or husband with the single name of the passport holder and it has been said that passengers will not be immigrating to UAE airports on single name registration on the passport.

The UAE has issued instructions to the airline management to give tickets after seeing the complete and valid name entry on the passport.
